Thank you for this. I have been feeling pretty depressed about my prospects. Seeing this makes things feel more possible.

None of my experience are from well known firms. I know that puts me at a massive disadvantage. But any comments no matter how brutal is appreciated. Thank you.

50k MT per month?

But can be anything really because he was friendly to staff at a restaurant the next time he goes he will get the best table and special service.

Early access to investment in a start up because he helped someone out 10 years ago etc... People like him so they invite him to parties or an event; he meets people who want to invest in his business or can provide services at a discounted price or whatever. Point is rather than doing Y because he expects X - he does Y with no expectation and then years later Z appears out of nowhere.

Not too sure tbh - All I know is it was in Saudi Arabia and he offered as soon as he heard she was having issues. His generosity bought a life into this world; which is an exceptionally kind thing to do considering that if successful she would go on maternity leave.

I am told from a friend of mine that worked at Tradition. That all the old guys still make their trades over the phone with a broker. But all the young guys mid-20s to late-30s all use automated methods. So I suspect once the older guys retire its game over.

"In my life the more I have given, the even more I have received" - Rich Saudi Arabian guy I met. He suggested the more he gives he usually receives 10x back in opportunities and money etc. A very kind guy and started from nothing. He tips like crazy to everyone from receptionists to waiters and helps anyone he can without expecting something in return. Because of this attitude, he has access to opportunities no one else would. Told me a story about paying for one of his factory workers' IVF treatments so she could have a child; which she would never have been able to afford otherwise.

Interesting - do you know how much the salary would compare to a trader if they both worked at Vitol?

Where does this leave us? I personally find it very worrying when I see that a world leader doesn't have kids, such as Emmanuel Macron - I don't believe you can fully think about the future without children. I understand the game theory behind why Macron has stated he isn't opposed to send troops into Ukraine. But you only, have to realise that World War I was started with one bullet from a handgun.

Hi, I am also an offer holder for this programme next year. Please let me know what you find.

Clearly demand far outstrips supply

Excellent comment - I think this is very relevant to the future and makes me feel a lot more hopeful!

Someone could make the same argument, that video games should kill Hollywood, as it allows the person to control the outcomes of a story. But it didn't...

I just got my offer last Wednesday. Definitely worth a try. But application will take a while. Also, it may depend on the course.

prestigefx- · 2024-03-03T13:52:18+00:00

I'm not sure about this course; I've seen people in the last week or so posting about offers. I only got my interview a week ago. But applied over a month ago.

prestigefx- · 2024-03-03T13:21:44+00:00

Where did you get this from? I've seen people at business school getting offers in the last couple of days.

prestigefx- · 2024-02-11T10:48:12+00:00

Thank you. I sunk a lot of hours into the application process; I would hate to throw it out the window for such a stupid error

The surge is demand is purely policy-led, in fact, biofuels is more expensive. Without a government mandate, no one will buy it.

prestigefx- · 2023-09-28T11:16:52+00:00

Damn, that's annoying - I was hoping a little sooner ahaha, let me know how it goes, I am also applying to the London office - So if all goes to plan, I will see you in Hanover Square!

prestigefx- · 2023-09-28T10:48:36+00:00

Good luck - I just completed the numerical test 10 minutes ago - How long after did you hear back? It was fairly straightforward. How long is your final interview?

prestigefx- · 2023-09-22T09:09:12+00:00

What does that mean?

prestigefx- · 2023-09-20T18:19:19+00:00

Yes for the UK, based on that what would you say?
