Target770 - I guess you don't want to (or can't for whatever reason) work for either of those banks you did internships with? that seems to be the 'easiest' way to get a permanent job in IB these days.

Your marks are good and you have work experience so you should definitely be able to make it to the interview stage with that. In my opinion most IB jobs come down to the interview stage .. if you can sell yourself and they like you, they will hire you.

I am starting at Deutsche Bank in London in September and I graduated from McGill with only a 2.95 GPA and had no banking experience..so trust me if you sell it at interview you are in regardless of your credentials.

Good luck with your search.

oh starting salary on this side of the Atlantic is 40K pounds plus 10% signing bonus. can't comment on end of year bonus because I don't know yet.. not that things are looking too promising these days haha.

from what i've heard JP Morgan starts at around 42K, GS around 45K. the majority of the others start you around 35-40K GBP base.
