Re: Standard Chartered bank 2012.--International Graduate Programme
Hmmm, the one that they are not calling after first assessment, I think its only Sergea that has been called for the next round on this forum, I hope they haven't hired everyone they need yet, I 'm thinking its the situation of the country that is making it take so long though, thoughts?
Re: Standard Chartered bank 2012.--International Graduate Programme

Just jack and pass CFA for free. hahahaha. Good one.
SCB is a good place to work, no doubt. Even the chick I know there is doing big girl hahhaah. Anyway, she is still submissive to the right people sha..She no dey fear..
Finally, the only time you can describe that guy, who is an IGP staff, as a typical Nigerian is when he is your 'real main guy', but he decides to keep every vital secret to himself...You know, it is only one's main main people that can help one with some secret. Others don't want you to compete with them..Some may even give you misleading information just so you do not get to their levels.
As most of you might have already known, in life there are many hidden information that people keep to themselves and never divulge..This gives them a competitive advantage over others..It is only your true person that can tell you how he really did something..There is usually more to every big acheivement in life than people are ready to say..Think about it and you will agree with me.
My prayer sha is for someone on this forum to get the IGP thingy. We already heard exemplary success stories of some forum member, a young senior member, who was literally stalked by several big multinational companies. We need to hear more stories like that..Hearing such stories make us know that our efforts are yielding results..
So guys, go all out and do your best..We need to hear more of the excellent stories. And the next excellent story should be from you and about you!
I will do my best to ensure that I am a party to your respective excellent stories.
I remain yours truly,
Ighoeve, SM.
PS: London and New York, or Europe and US based Naijans who have graduate degrees in quantitative science courses, 2 years work experience and are interested in a career in trading should please send me a message..There is a boutique investment bank, with offices in America, Asia and Europe, that is currently recruiting traders..The deadline is almost near..Sorry for the last info, but u can still do something OOOO..
Hi Ighoeve, I am new to this forum and I have been reading through this thread and I must commend you for your invaluable insight and help that you have been giving all the forumites. I got to the final stage of the SCB IG pgm last yr but unfortuately wasn't selected. I was very distraught but I have not given up on my search. I know its been a while since you put up the notice for those interested in a career in trading at a boutique inv bank, but I am very interested. Could I please have your e-mail address so I can send you my CV for this position (and any other positions, if available) as I have the background you specified. I am very much looking fwd to hearing from you. God bless

Hi, I made to the FINAL stage which was a chat with the Head of the Department, which was after the assessment day, of which we were told was just a formality, but alas they were still cutting people. I would say if you do make it past the assessment day, remain in interview mode and be as enthusiastic as possible. Good luck
