Anyone here who has experience with IB in Paris? Do you have to know French? How is the culture compared to London/Nordics? WLB? I have heard that BBs and EBs have been building up their teams there after Brexit and will continue to do so.

From what we’ve been taught (business school in Paris), wlb is substantially better in Paris, pay is substantially lower in Paris than London. I’m from Norway, and my impression is that the culture is similar between Paris and Nordics. The downside is that you need to know French. Even if the work is in English, and everyone is speaking English, the social part and coffee chats happens In French.
The last part of your question regarding building up in Paris, this has definitely been the case for GS, I’m not sure about other banks.

Yes, you need to know French. Not necessarily so much for the work but it’s almost always a hiring criteria.

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?
