Citigroup sophomore rotational program

The deadline was yesterday. How would anyone have an interview yet?

I've applied also. I hope I hear from them soon. I'll let you know when/if I do.

Talked to one of the head recruiters. She said "we're not gonna start looking at resumes until after that (Feb 15th).."

How much financial knowledge do they expect us to have going in? Is it mainly fit type interviews, or do they expect us to pitch a stock?

This is pretty much my last chance since I'm guessing I've gotten dinged by BSC ( haven't heard back since I interviewed with them week of Feb. 4th).

Dinged List: BSC, UBS, JPM

Last Chance: Citi ( a bank that's pretty much been dinging itself for over 6 months )lol.

citi > no job

Last year's stats from one of the recruiters in charge of the program:

800 applied
150 phone interviews
60 superdays
~30 interns

That was only the first year of the program so they expect a lot more to apply this year while still maintaining the same amount of interviews. Also, non targets have little to no chance.

Pmlok,

How do you know if non targets have little to no chance?

any updates?

nothing yet! :(

heard JPM barely took anyone, got my rejection email the other day from a very nice recruiter.

haven't heard back from citi, but am not holding out for it! have a superday with a MM coming up shortly.

I was rejected from JPM also. They didn't take very many. I actually went to their Super day! And I did well in all of my interviews. Connected well with all of my interviews.. seriously..
still got a rejection. =/...

At least you didn't have an MD declare you were very smart and that he really expected you to summer, and then get rejected. I hate sophomore recruiting.

It will take at least a week for Citi to screen resumes.

Just got an e-mail from a Citigroup recruiter asking me to fix something (name change, long story) on my application. The recruiters are really nice! They will start looking at resumes tomorrow apparently.

In a prior post, you mention that you are a freshman. How are you applying for a sophomore program?

Basically I'm a first year on a three year BA course, graduating in 2010, so equivalent to a sophomore.

I sent an e-mail to an HR contact to send her an updated copy of my resume and she seemed very informative and I go to a non-targeted school, so I think they do at least look at our resumes.

I just got an email to sign up for a 1st round phone interview

Got the email as well.

Rejected. Sad, but not surprised; I'm not doing a related or even quantative subject, I don't go to an American college, and, with over 1000 applicants for 30 places (so the rejection e-mail said), they were bound to find better candidates. Congratulations to all those who were invited to interview.

=/. i havent gotten anything and that's sad because it's probably my last chance at anything for the summer...

does anyone know what to expect for the phone interviews? what types of questions are they going to ask? im guessing it will be mostly fit.. and its only 20 mins long.

any suggestions/tips?

my friend got citi last year..she said it was really chill. but they do ask your knowledge of the markets. much less finance/financial accounting, more along the lines of how much you know about what's going on, and how it affects IBD.

got the interview for this recently
cant interview.. already accepted offer elsewhere

Somewhat disappointing.. didn't even get a rejection email. I thought I had decent qualifications besides the fact that I have little to no connections at Citi and am from a non target. I have consulting experience with a very reputable BB equity research firm and a summer at a top F500. Not to mention being in one of the nations top honors accounting programs. Also have been going through a financial modeling and LBO program on my own time. Oh... well.

Congratulations to all those that recieved an interview and goodluck! May I live vicariously through you.. haha!

Just had a superday at a MM.. crossing my fingers!

I heard through a contact they are going to be giving out first round interviews up till 2/28

got the e-mail. For the people that got interviews, who are you interviewing with?

Does anyone know how soon we will hear back after the interview? Do they wait until everyone has been interviewed, as some have it on the 27th while others have it as late as early march?

bump

Got an interview on the 29th. Hope it goes well.

How do the rotations work? Are we able to choose which 2 we want, or are we already interviewing for the 2?

Got the email yesterday. Woo.

Is it weird that I haven't gotten a rejection email yet..?

I haven't gotten one either, I am pretty sure they are through targets, than moving on to non-targets

I'm a nontarget ajdswim.

yeah, targets got the email last week, so they are now on non-targets this week.

Just had my interview.

Guys make sure you realize that the time is eastern. Living in Texas, I thought my interview was at 11, when it ended up being 10, so that caught me off guard.

On top of that my phone went out of batteries during the interview, so I had to fn sprint to an outlet and call again which probably means I was dinged. It's too bad too, because my actual interview went really well.

what kind of questions did they ask?

Had mine as well. I wouldn't worry about the interview - it is extremely informal.

just had mine.. the interviewer said there were over 1,000 applicants for 30 spots!!

We hear back next Thursday, right?

I had mine too..did anybody get tell me about the markets question? or all behavior questions?

Mine asked to pitch a stock, but that was because of other work experience I had.

I wasn't asked anything technical at all - disappointing.

Well, crossing my fingers I suppose its a good thing that I haven't recieved a rejection email yet. However, I did just recieve an offer from a regional MM! I was so excited when the recruiter called.

3.5 is the cut-off did somebody got an interview whose gpa is less than that

Anybody know when we hear back?

i had my interview last week, and she said by the end of this week. we'll see!

I just had the interview.. very nice lady. I got questions like: Walk me through your resume... tell me about your experience at your last internship... tell me about an event that affects the economy.. why citi? .. explain IB to a nonbusiness person.

She told me desicions will be available on Friday.

good luck
