Application Advice:
Know about what the company does. Capital markets is around about 20% of what we do - the London Stock Exchange Group has a whole host of companies, from a major clearing house, to a hugely lucrative index business, to a huge amount of financial technology services and products. The Group also owns most of the Italian financial market infrastructure.
Have a clue about finance. By this I mean you need to understand the whys of financial markets. Finance is a transportation business with two purposes; to move risk from people who don't want it to people who do want it, and to move capital from people who have it but don't have anything to do with it, to entrepreneurs etc. who desperately need it. THAT is at the very heart of what the Exchange does, and it is a pivotal part of generating economic growth. It is NOT enough to simply know what an option is and how to price it - you need to understand the financial services industry from a holistic perspective, and how it has grown and evolved over the past 10 years due to regulatory pressures and changes in economic environment.
Interview Advice:
You will almost certainly have an interview with someone from LCH.Clearnet. This means that you should know what LCH.Clearnet does, have some idea of how clearing works, what initial and variation margin is, and what how risk is evaluated (VAR models).
Display an interest in people - your interviewers, your fellow candidates, and the people who come and talk to you at lunch. This is the best way to find out whether you want to work here or not, and to actually succeed on the grad programme.

Technology Associate, at London Stock Exchange GroupRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Don't think you have to be a particular kind of person to apply. LSEG is such a diverse organisation that my advise would be to research the company as thoroughly as possible and if it interest you, understand why and be able to communicate this succinctly.
In terms of more general advise, think about the skills that you have and how they could be applied, and perhaps where you think this role could help you develop. If you can demonstrate that you have thought carefully about how you are trying to position and develop yourself, and can display a genuine interest in the group, I think that puts you in a strong position.
Interview Advice:
Know the different areas of the group, read through recent news stories and think about how they might impact LSEG, even if the company is not mentioned directly (e.g. how might the UK General Election impact on LSEG).

List all the different major technologies you've worked with, a wide knowledge base seems to be an important attribute.
Interview Advice:
Group based tasks are not a 'win/lose' sort of scenario. The objective isn't to crush the other candidates ideas and force your solution upon them, it's about discussion and reaching a good conclusion. I saw this play out in my interview, it was awful and that individual was not hired.
