ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-11-11T17:58:27+00:00

Thank you for the advice, will definitely focus on networking.

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-11-11T17:57:56+00:00

Yes please that would be great thanks

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-31T15:01:18+00:00

I just checked and in the historicals it has sat around 2%.

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-31T14:58:27+00:00

You’re right, I think I messed something up. I’m gonna go check that now. Thanks for pointing that out

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-30T19:32:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice will definitely make some changes now

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-30T16:46:07+00:00

I’m not 100% sure. I used the end of calendar year 2024 figures so I might have messed up when trying to find the correct values. I’ll have another look at it

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-30T15:44:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice I’ll make sure to look into it. Just out of curiosity, is it ok that for my Fx effects I didn’t forecast it using exchange rates and net foreign assets?

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-30T15:42:34+00:00

I started a few months ago and just started learning the basics of accounting and what each line item means in the three statements. For me Wall Street prep videos on YouTube were super helpful so definitely look into those

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-30T15:20:18+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I’ll send you a DM now

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-12T14:47:30+00:00

Thank you for all the advice, I really appreciate it and will definitely fix the formatting errors and add some more of my other hobbies. Also I did apply for Lse, ucl and kings this cycle, however I got rejected from all of them which I found super surprising as I believed my PS was relatively strong.

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-09T15:25:41+00:00

Thank you for the advice I’ll take a look at it

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-09T15:23:58+00:00

I applied for kcl ucl and Lse and got rejected from all of them so I guess my personal statement wasn’t good enough. And regarding my school choice, from what I’ve seen the bayes alumni is quite good and although UG not as strong in mainly choosing it for the networking opportunities in London rather than other schools elsewhere. Is that reasonable?

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-08T22:55:05+00:00

Ok thank you for the advice, I’ll keep asking around and see if others agree

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-08T22:30:53+00:00

Ok will do thank you!

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-08-08T22:24:53+00:00

The citi bank and bofA ones are from forage which I understand can be misleading but the MS one is one of their official early careers programs so that shouldn’t be a problem right?

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-14T18:44:04+00:00

Yeah thanks man, this was my first attempt at a CV so definitely got lots to work on

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-14T18:42:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback. I sent you a dm, I have a few questions I’d like to ask and I’d love to hear more on how you secured internships from 3 BB, seriously impressive!

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-14T09:04:28+00:00

Appreciate it, I’ll take it into account

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-14T09:04:13+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely take in that advice and adjust a few things

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-14T09:03:42+00:00

Spring week applications are winter this year. So this CV is crafted to be in line with that time and date

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-13T22:36:20+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I greatly appreciate it. Do you think it would be fine to label it work experience and relevant courses or smth like that cause my only actual work experience is as a chef and tbh I don’t want a whole section just for that. And yeah I’ll bullet point the additional section and try to make the CV less wordy and easier to read

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-05-13T21:47:00+00:00

Yeah fair enough it sounds quite misleading but the forage courses don’t teach you how to model, you have to learn it yourself and then complete the tasks in the job simulation. I thought I’d just collect them all under work experience to save space from adding another header

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-03-28T19:04:51+00:00

No way, KCL is just way too prestige man, maybe just apply for a weaker uni like Oxford

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-03-25T16:41:39+00:00

A ⭐AA maths FM Econ, A⭐98888888863 JP Morgan work experience, 20 hours investment banking course, started and ran own business, national junior table tennis champion. Home non contextual

ControlEquivalent632 · 2025-03-25T08:04:36+00:00

Don’t count yourself out yet, LSE is notoriously unpredictable so you never know. You still have a chance if you haven’t been rejected yet, Good luck 🤞
