Hi desparado1306, vivek and dipak!!
It is really good to meet like minded folks like y'all here 😃 .. I am contemplating applying to the MiF program at LBS this year .. My profile in brief:

1) Indian female
2) BTech from NSIT - 80%
3) MBA in Fin from ISB - 3.2/4.0
4) CFA Level 3 candidate
5) Total work ex = 6 years.. Relevant ex = 3 years in Corp M&A;
6) GMAT - Will have to retake as the old score isn't valid anymore :banghead:

I am very focussed in terms of what I want post MiF .. It would be an IBD role with a bb IB .. With my experience, I would aim for an Associate position.

I had a few questions .. :
(a) Which banks hire for front office roles @LBS Mif (M&A;/ Capital raising) ?
(b) How good are the front office IBD placements (average # of people)? esp. post recession ??
(c) What is the typical starting salary (base+ signing + bonus) for an Associate? I have seen the placement reports but they state averages which could be skewed by outliers ..

.. Any information would be appreciated as that would help me take an informed decision on the ROI of this program. Thanks so much and good luck with your application !!

:cheerio:

Does anyone has any idea how long it takes for MIF team to take decision on application, does the review starts after the deadline is over or it done on fcfs basis. Submitted the application on 8th Nov got a reply stating adcom will complete review as early as possible within stage 1. Anyone got a call for an interview ?

Hi Why has the forum gone cold suddenly. Have any of you applied to LBS MIF in Rd 1 and have the interview decisions come out ?

@ Desperado , @ Dipak - Do let us know if you have any feedback on your application. I presume you have applied in Rd 1.

No one here seems to be that active, but I know a friend who had applied in R1 and got admit in late January. Anyway, I am applying before March 15 deadline.

Hi
How does LBS conduct interviews. Do they conduct in Indian locations?
Are there telephonic interviews?
Thanks

No idea mate. Whatever it is, I'll let you know once I get an interview appointment.
