Hey WSO,
Just received a first round for Citi's HK office. I go to a target in the UK.
The first round interview is 2 hours long. Is it a combination of interviews and tests? Anyone who could share some insight on the process is more than welcome. Thanks.

It's a group interview with 8 or 9 people in a group. You have one hour preparation - including a case and translation (from mandarin to English and English to mandarin).
I personally didn't interview for HK, but my fiend who had first rounds with them at NYC gave me the above information.
Good luck.
Thanks for the insight!
Will there be a superday afterwards if successful?
Also, if your friend is on WSO, would you mind if I reached out to him/her?
Thanks again.
Probably not, seems like the first rounds interviewees do not have a superday right after.
He's not on WSO, but he told me a little bit more in detail today. So apparently you need to translate an article from English to Chinese, write an article in Chinese, and pick an article out of four to read which later you will have to comment in the interview. You have one hour to prepare for them. If you are not familiar with group interviews, I would suggest prepare for it. My friend said there were around 100-150 people interviewing in NYC, and they took like maximum two from each small group.
Hope this helps.

superday is given after "a few days" after the first round. That's what HRs said.
Thanks for the insight.
Any idea on what the translation activity is like? Will it be translating a financial article or a case or both?
bump
anyone hear back about a superday at new york city
Did you complete the translation exercises during your first-round?
For the English-Chinese translation work, did you have to handwrite on paper?
BUMP!
Anyone know whether the translation exercises are to be handwritten or typed on a computer?
Has anyone heard back yet?

Candidates who interviewed in NYC and London, have all offers been given out yet?
It's been one week since I did the superday, and I only know like 2 people total from NYC and London that have offers.
bump
just passing by but my friend who lives in Chicago got an offer over the weekend
bump
i think they are now interviewing candidates studying uni in China, think they will be releasing more offers after they interview all the candidates....
Does this mean extending more offers to NYC/London candidates?
Yea... i would hv thought they are giving out offers in one go ... until u said earlier someone has alrdy received offers
Fair enough. Do you know anyone that has received offers?
My friend already got an offer
do you know how long does it take after the final round? I heard Citi HR is pretty slow
Citi Hong Kong IBD SA interview (Originally Posted: 11/29/2013)
Hey guys! Just got one from them. It is telephone interviews with 3 bankers and seems like I have one week to prepare. Honestly, this is my first time to do so and could you guys offer me some tips and hints on how should I be prepared for this? Did anyone interview with them before? I would really appreciate you guys can share some thoughts on this, anything would be good.
Thanks guys.
What questions did they ask in the interview?
Citigroup HK IBD Summer Associate program (Originally Posted: 01/26/2018)
Hi fellow monkeys!!
I’ve just been invited to sit for a group video interview for the 2018 IBD Summer Associate internship at Citi Hong Kong. Recruiter mentioned in email that the interview will take place for up to 2 hours.
Anyone knows what does “group video interview” mean? Specifically, what does it entail and what should I expect? This is post-online application so it’s a first round interview.
Also, appreciate any monkeys with past experience applying to the same program.
Thanks a million guys!!!
