For university students targeting hashtag#internships and hashtag#gradjobs in S&T, the job market has been worse than expected, and even hashtag#globalmarkets teams that had several offers last year, didnt generate great hope.

But that means your efforts need to be that much unique to outcompete students with stronger profiles and every interview offer you get, counts. 

Passing less than one interview may lead to no offer this year! 

All students who have signed up for the Markets Team, or are interested in investment banking S&T in the future, must save this latest Interview List! 

hashtag#Ibankcoaching compiled a list of Markets Team interview questions that hiring managers asked this year:

As long as you prepare these 16 questions, for either an S&T interview or an international #investmentbank you can't go wrong with this.

In fact, #Ibankcoaching understands very well that this year’s Job Markets are dismal. Often, it’s not necessarily that we don’t work hard enough or that we’re not good enough. Many things are simply out of our control. 

Just like every time the market changes, we say: "Only the students who can adapt first and turn crisis into opportunity can become the winners of the next round"! As for this job search journey, we will definitely continue to back you up!! 

Let's hustle together!
