You’ve left out a bunch of MMs
WB, Arma, Baird, HW, Lincoln, Alantra, DC, Gleacher etc. haven't opened yet... but let us know how that progresses once open.
Literally every MM you named except Jeff is actually an EB btw
Congrats on Houlihan Lokey!
IBD at Houlihan is middle market, RX might be considered a notch above. But this is not the point of this discussion haha, name them what you will, just wanted to see whether anyone has gotten any updates re processes in London. Feels like its opened earlier than last year but is moving much slower... thoughts?
Missing HSBC, SocGen, BNP, Santander, MUFG
lol okay..
Strongly recommend not being very cocky until you actually get an offer - look forward to hearing how that goes though ;)
chances of getting a MS first round if i hit requirements for 3/4?
W numerical
W verbal
W inductive
L SJT
by L SJT if it’s ‘less aligned’ then not a good chance, but if it is at least ‘aligned’ then you may get through
Its over bro
I didn't even get verbal, only numerical, inductive and sjt.
same.
Didn't have a verbal one, are you sure you had this?
Just completed mine and got the following:
Numerical reasoning - well above the requirements
Inductive reasoning - well above the requirements
Situational assessment - very aligned with business unit
Did I miss an assessment?
Also what is the best result one can get on these assessments?
People with very well aligned SJT and similar Numerical Verbal and Logical have been rejected already
It’s quite random tbh
It is not random. When you meet the benchmark for the tests, they look at your CV and if you have what they are looking for then you get TI.
Bank of America -> HV out
Evercore -> first wave, advisory first rounds out
Jefferies, Greenhill and Centerview have opened applications?
Also is anyone else who applied for BofA ER still waiting for a HV?
GH is today, Centerview no idea, they do a Oxbridge networking event and invite to AC from that I believe, but also not sure exactly, no one is really willing to speak about it. Jefferies no idea when they open
For CVP a recruiter messages you a link to apply to the networking event. There is one in London and one in Oxford
Don't think jeff will open
Lazard is only recruiting for ER and Sales & Marketing, IBD SA got filled from spring weeks.
Again… ffs
does anyone know if MS has given out HV?
I dont think they do HVs..
bump
They did for S&T
I really don't think so... buddy who just completed his SA stint said the didnt have one, only Online Test and then Telephone Interview, followed by second round interview, and then AC with a case study
Heard on the group chat that some people already received HVs for IBD tho. Might vary from last year.
Group chat? LSE? Imperial?
Didn't hear anything for IBD. HVs have defo been given out for S&T though
Can confirm, there are HVs this year for 2024 SAs.. just had an event and spoke to HR. For Continental Europe Office also have in-person interviews after the AC in London (which will be the hub for all candidates progressed to ACs in Europe)
quite fast, quite accurate and extremely fast, quite accurate enough for UBS hv anyone know?
Big emphasis on SJT. Your scores should meet the benchmark for pschometric I think
.
anyone heard from Guggenheim?
Nope. Bump
If you completed the Nomura OT, what level did you get to on the moving block challenge?
I think I made it till level 8 but I ain't good at puzzles.
13, u?
Only got 9. Im usually good at puzzles/pattern tests too but I always dread seeing that block moving challenge come up in OTs
anyone heard from Barclays IBD/Markets after the online assessment (no VI)?
Got invite to do another online assessment after which was a VI
Was it straight after the OA or sometime later ?
Anyone know what’s happening with Barclays S&T, I applied when it opened but now they’ve removers the posting off the website
Anyone apply to Barclays grad programme and not get confirmation email or online assessment?
No confirmation but I got assessment
yeah, I still haven't got the assessment
Have you received VI yet?
Anyone know what to make of / gauge Rothschild Online Assessment?
Learning Ability and Collaboration were my positives and Time Optimiser was area for improvement.
Idk what to think, anyone who got an offer last year know what’s optimal or is it all dependent on random stuff. Thanks.
My assessment report was very strange.. dont know what to make of it either. Time Optimiser and Pride top attributes, and personal responsibility lowest lol.. should be perfectly aligned with business unit no?
We’ll find out soon ig idk lmaooo
I got credibility and relationship builder as my strengths, time optimiser as my area for improvement
Any updates re Rothschild?
Not yet... im assuming you haven't either?
Did you guys hear back from Roths?
Is Barclays IBD gonna open summer?
already has?
yes
Anyone have insights as to when GS may send out HV invites?
They are always late
anyone heard from raymond james?
TIs are out
UBS VI’s are out
When did you get the invite?
Today
First ones came out 4th of September
Anybody heard back from RBC after the tests? They said they would respond after within 15 working days
Markets TI have been going out for a week or 2
So I probably got dinged
Are IBD TIs out too?
Are we all sure that MS IBD (Not S&T) does not have hirevues for summer?
HVs went out last week, they also sent TIs
WHat to make of it if you did not receive the HV but have not been rejected?
Do they maybe send out HVs according to nationality?
How does their TIs work, do they send a mail where you can book an interview?
Can someone confirm whether Barclays IB HV is out?
Any ER HVs out either?
Have heard conflicting things about Barclays Hv
Anyone know when JPM may respond (based on timing of previous years)? And is it true they immediately invite you to AC after HV?
Any process updates on BofA, JPM, GS, UBS or Barclays?
BOFA is at HV I think, same with Barclays and JPM
GS I haven’t seen or heard anything about yet
UBS is at the video interview stage too I believe
Hey,
Has anyone done the HV for JPM ? I wouldn’t mind an insight on the questions.
Thanks
.
When did you do your tests
.
Bofa - 1st rounds out
UBS - ACs out
Citi - TIs out
RBC - TIs out
Evercore - VIs out
BNP - Markets VIs out
Moelis - VIs out
Ares - VIs out
RJ - TIs out
DC - TIs out
MS - TIs and HVs out
PWP - TIs out
BNP Markets ACs out
BofA first rounds being HVs?
I hope ur right lmfao
RJ VIs out
Did you get a virtual interview for RJ and when did you receive it?
I did the TI but haven’t heard from them
.
When did PWP TIs roll out?
over last couple weeks but its thru dartmouth so will be more
Stop the cap, BofA is still HireVue stage, Citi and Moelis are still at Online Test
For you maybe yes
BoA first round interviews out, not sure if they are doing waves tho
What's your source for Moelis? I applied when they opened up the apps and got their test invitation only a few days ago? Seems too quick for a VI??
Is it too late to apply?
yes its done now, no more investment banking opps open, everything has been filled
that is such a lie lol
Centerview invite-only networking event invites London sent out last week
Evercore Advisory Internship First AC completed yesterday, rolling basis/ needs based going forward
Are JefCo recruiting this year? Have heard rumours they're not running SA program in London.
According to Bristol Tracker Goldman IBD HV's are out, can anyone confirm??
If you haven’t received HV for BBs Summer yet should you consider your application as rejected?
Any updates on Barclays ER?
Which division did UBS send out AC? IBD or SnT?
Anyone ever hear from Raine?
Interviews are out
Damm, that's tough. Source / when did they come out? Assuming my chances are slim anyway, as it looks like they target LBS / business school students.
"Intern in PE" is a troll. Very few interviews are out. Most processes have not started interviewing.
Unfortunately not...
At a non-target but did a summer IB at a BB this year, is the market really this fucked or am I getting dinged for my uni (no TI or ACs yet)?
Same thoughts running through my head too. Target in same shoes as well. Job market really taking a toll for us lot.
Pretty disappointing seeing the updated stages coming through but not receiving anything. Went for SA instead of FT bc I thought there would be more spots available but doesn’t seem great
I'm at a target and having the similar problems but did get through some stages , I've read that London recruiting as a bit random so perhaps there's something to come
It is, but also worrying not to get a single one so far despite recruiting fairly early in the process
interesting, given the fact that in the comments below you claimed to have several second rounds
Following
If it wasn't for dartmouth showing love so far I'd be finished
What process you in with Dartmouth? PWP?
RJ 2nd round, Ares TI, Millennium TI (middle office tho)
How many apps people done so far? Currently on like 73
Similar
I’m at 80~ ish
I’m only on 13 with 2 second rounds and UBS VI. where are you guys even applying to…
How does that compare to other ppl u know?
Anyone heard back yet after Ares 2nd round (video interview) ?
How long did it take u to hear back about VI btw? (Just did the TI). I had a super quick turnaround for RJ VI just wondering if its similar
Heard back the following morning
I got sent a maths test to do the next day after VI and they said they’d get back around October 4th about AC
I got approached by Dartmouth recruiters but haven't heard from any firms for TIs from any of Dartmouth-affiliated banks (PWP, CV et al.)
What did they say?
Anyone familiar with the JPM process from previous years? Would be helpful to know what the usual timeline is between HV -> AC
