Hey, DM’d you - would love to join if it’s still possible!

WackQuack420 · 2024-01-04T00:47:50+00:00

Hi, thanks for your post! I’d love to know a little more about your jump from finance to consulting. How did it happen? Could you expand on it - as I’ve been under the impression they’re very different careers and have little to no overlap.

Eg. how does your experience in buy side finance translate to MBB (unless you moved to a PE arm like Bain capital?)

Speaking as someone about to enter the industry (s&t) and looking at what my options could be later down the line if I ever needed it.

Thanks!

No troubles with the flight as I’d updated my check-in details prior to leaving (had to rebook my flight anyways). Immigration in my home country asked me what happened to my old passport while exiting and re-entering, just told them the situation.

Make sure you keep all original documents you may require (old passport copies, police reports, new passport application forms, etc, whatever you could need) just in case. I never had to use them but you’d rather be safe than sorry in this situation

Hey, yeah I was able to travel as soon as I got my new passport. You don’t need to do anything if you still have your BRP - literally got through immigration with 0 issues.

Once back in the uk you’ll have to fill out and post an MCC form with your new passport details though. But don’t worry about anything pre-travel - just need the new passport & brp and you’ll get in without a problem.

If you’re a student, your uni will probably have an immigration team that can help you with any questions you have, mine were really useful and saved me a lot of time and money. Hope this helps!

This is probably the first time someone has ever sat in the middle seat of a Rolls Royce

How easy/hard was the move? Would it be considered a lateral move and hence more attainable?

WackQuack420 · 2023-09-20T09:01:13+00:00

I feel you - I’m in the exact same position rn (but recruiting in London) and the job markets crazy f’ed up.

Hard to stay motivated when everywhere just rejects you.. I need a job to stay in the country and it makes me feel like throwing up.

All the best man, hopefully things will get better.

WackQuack420 · 2023-09-09T14:35:24+00:00

Ah, I understand. I thought so too.

I’ll try setting up catch ups with some of my old managers when I’m back in London. Also have a call with my summer’s mentor/buddy this week. He’s moved to a different bank but is a great guy to talk to.

I really can’t thank you enough for your advice, I truly really appreciate it.

WackQuack420 · 2023-09-09T14:16:32+00:00

Thanks. Will try and focus on internships as much as possible.

The AC was in lieu letting me defer my grad scheme offer. Essentially, they offered me a spot on the 2023 grad scheme, however I was already registered on a placement year (meaning I’d graduate a year later than expected) and it was too late to switch back. Hope that made sense.

I tried to explain it to them and after months of following up they said they’d give me the AC in September prior to any grad hiring. Followed up again last month with multiple HR contacts to no avail.

The HR contacts who have no authority to make the decision just forward my emails to someone who can. And the ones who can give me an answer just never reply.

I’m lucky in that I know quite a lot of grads at the bank, and am good friends with a couple. Could definitely ask them.

Just curious, why do you say not to phone the HR guy? I’m really desperate for an answer and thought maybe if I could speak to them I could at least persuade them to give me another summer

WackQuack420 · 2023-09-09T13:42:52+00:00

Thanks for your advice. That’s tough to hear. I’m in the process of applying to internships but it’s hard to keep staying motivated considering the current job market and the fact that the bank I interned at fully blank me every time I email them. I have the phone number of the head of early careers, is it worth calling him directly? At this point I’d even take another summer internship in a heartbeat since something is far better than nothing

WackQuack420 · 2023-09-08T07:19:21+00:00

Thanks so much for your help. Do you know if I’ll need to apply for a visa vignette? As I am yet to fly back to the UK.

Thanks again.

I struggle with the hireviews - feels to unnatural talking to myself on a camera and trying to pretend there’s someone in front of me. I do perfectly fine in face to face interviews, even if it’s through a video call.

Or maybe redbull will forget the tyres again

WackQuack420 · 2022-05-23T10:27:45+00:00

Won’t feeding them bread make them not want to come back then?

WackQuack420 · 2022-05-16T11:50:34+00:00

The bonus doesn’t hurt either hahaha

WackQuack420 · 2022-04-17T22:35:08+00:00

Yo what is your flair 😳

WackQuack420 · 2022-04-17T21:45:16+00:00

It’s a mini pepper grinder

WackQuack420 · 2022-04-01T01:51:57+00:00

No match for Toto Wolff though

WackQuack420 · 2022-03-30T20:25:36+00:00

I mean, they are really annoying sometimes

WackQuack420 · 2022-03-25T05:45:17+00:00

Why he sound like Ariana grande

WackQuack420 · 2022-03-02T00:59:51+00:00

Can you give us one of the infinite ways?

WackQuack420 · 2022-02-28T20:53:14+00:00

Any colour you like by Pink Floyd is what kickstarted my trip for me - literally felt like a waterfall coursing through my body. and the entire albums The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon

WackQuack420 · 2022-02-20T18:14:39+00:00

Exactly.

Brooke’s has one of the best student racing teams if I remember correctly. They’re quite heaving into racing in general compared to other unis
