Bank of America Merrill Lynch First round Interview

Hey You crazy Monkeys,

So I just received an email from BOA for a first round interview. I have no idea what to do or how to to prepared for it.

It's for the Latin america global i.b analyst global I.B summer analyst program. This is my first ever I.B interview. any help would be great

 

Had a first round phone interview about two weeks ago now. Actually emailed HR yesterday. Haven't heard a thing though. An old email I have said they would be following up for a first round in early Jan, so its possible they are still doing first rounds...

Well either we're 0 for 4 on this thread, or they haven't notified yet. Let's hope the latter...

Anybody else get that email asking us to fill something out on Survey Monkey? Seems pretty generic, but I'm not sure what your application status has to be to receive an email like this...

Mentioned "You will hear of your application status by mid- February."

I had a BAML IBD first round interview a few days ago and I just received the same email as nontargetPSD92 asking me to fill out a Survey Monkey.

Did everyone who got a first round interview get this it seems pretty generic?

 

Mine was mostly fit. Only a few basic technicals. One market question. Pretty standard.

I got that as well. Any non-targets that had a referral NOT get an email?

non-target, had a referral. no e-mail yet, no updates either

Just got an email from HR. I think this only applies to non targets, but super decisions have not been finalized. We will hear by jan 25th.

Hope that helps.

What do you guys mean by referral? I had an MD on my side who even tried to prod me in the right direction during my interview, but unfortunately I was a nervous wreck since it was my first professional interview in my life. The sad part is that I know if this had been the 2nd place I interviewed with, I would have killed it.

 

Just got email. Nontarget SA superday jan 23rd
