guys you should all try to do the finance case study competitions - they are a great opportunity to see what bankers do day to day and good for the resume if you win!

Link?

Would rep. But Rafy took that away from us.

who won this year?
UNSW and Melbourne were strong back in my days

Edit: UWA

[Newbie]

lol. Did you participate ?

[Omnipotence]

It's kinda counter intuitive to do it in first year, anyways I learnt valuations after date of competition.

one thing i disliked about the UBS one was that they used finance honours kids/coop kids to judge the university rounds (i was a judge as well because my friends were judging rofl)

its pretty fail because
1. its just a friends circle jerk and randoms will not have a shot no matter what
2. finance honors and coop kids know fk all

the JP one actually had JP bankers and senior corporate finance lecturers do the judging so at least it appear impartial

Yeah I'm pretty sure honour students won it. I'll give it a crack in 4th year.

And their hours were 110 and 94, respectively.

Assumed Goldman Sachs salary would be higher then Barclays, based on 'prestige'.

You see, with prestige, they can afford to pay slightly lower.

i thought the general consensus in this forum is that prestige doesnt matter

IB is okay for making a bit of money. But if you're going for big money, then IB only takes you so far. Good to make a bit of capital before 25, that's about it. The key is how to make a few mil before 26 or even 10m. Won't be doing that in IB.
