Career Resources
Hi, I just found out about it 2 days ago. I am making edits on my 200 words then submitting.
I am fellow SEO intern. Feel fee to ask any questions on this thread
What did you intern in? Did your career trajectory change during the interview process and did they help guide you?
Feeling confident for my ib interview. Anyone want to discuss the current markets?
How those the selection process for SEO work
How soon after the first round interview should we expect to hear back?
After the first round interview you normally hear back within a week
Do I need to wear a suit to the informational interview? It says wear a dark suit. Does that mean black, gray or navy blue?
I don't want to buy the wrong suit.
Redacted.
How was the first round interview? What types of questions should we expect?
@"upod01" do you feel it is worth it to do SEO if you're not doing finance? I'm interested in consulting and non-profit, but SEO doesn't seem to be as strong in those areas as finance.
Being part of SEO changed my career trajectory. One of the main benefits of being part of SEO is the network, and the resources that you are provided to succeed. I can't speak on consulting nor non profit, however if that's what you want to do SEO can't hurt.
I was told I would hear back after the first round (Skype) within 2 weeks. Two weeks have passed and I received an email last Friday saying I would hear next week. Alas, this week has passed and still nothing. Based on what I've read online, this is par for course for SEO.
I still have yet to receive an interview. Round 1 doesn't begin until after October 15. Did I miss something? Is it possible that I didn't get selected for an interview already?
am i too late to do anything now?
Tomorrow's my "informational interview." I'm assuming that it will be my first round of interview, but it seems pretty relaxed. Does anyone know if the informational interview is significant?
Also, should I wear a suit?
Depends on the program you applied for.
Investment Banking, sorry did not mention.
How soon after applications did you guys hear back?
I applied the first week of September and was asked to schedule a Skype interview the second week. Now that recruiting has likely picked up a bit, I would imagine it take a bit longer. Just make sure you apply before your program's deadline.
What can we expect in the interview,wilder? Technicals, market based questions, behavioral? What's the structure look like if you don't mind me asking.
Can't speak for the IB interviews, but this should be a good starting point: http://www.seocareer.org/applicant-resources-3/interviews-a-placements?…
Which program are you applying for if you don't mind me asking?
Applied for S&T. Already had my Skype and in person interview. I haven't heard anything back yet.
Anyone go through the phone interview for investment banking?
anyone get in yet? i had my interview last weekend
How did it go? What was it for? Have you heard back yet?
it was for IB. thought it went decently well but haven't heard anything yet. it lasted around an hour and was largely behavioral with some technicals as well
Hello,
I applied for 2nd round interviewer on 11/1. Has anyone heard back who applied during this pool? Applied for IBD.
Has anyone heard back from them yet? I did my interview about a month ago, and I haven't heard anything from them. I've even tried emailing my recruiter.
what did you interview for?
I interviewed for the Investment Banking program. I'm a sophomore so I know it will take longer for me, but I have other offers that expire soon.
They specify that they give priority to juniors. Maybe if they don't get acceptable juniors they'll come back to you.
I still haven't heard back and I applied before the Oct 15th first round cutoff. Anyone else in the same boat
I still haven't heard back and I applied before the Oct 15th first round cutoff. Anyone else in the same boat
when you say you haven't heard back do you mean that you applied and haven't heard anything from them so far or that you've done your interviews and are waiting on a decision?
I've only had an informational interview, and that was back in early November. I've not been offered an interview, and I applied before the first round deadline
Has anyone heard back yet after their first round interviews?
Did anyone else get an invite for the private equity clinic?
Congrats. What is that?
yeah i did, did you get a follow up call?
Yeah, I'll be there. Should be an exciting event.
Just got an invitation for a skype call for IBD. Can anyone provide information as to what to expect for the skype call?
When did you send in your application? was it before the first round deadline?
I applied Monday night 12/1 at around 11PM for IBD. How did they have time to review all my materials and reject me this morning only one day later 12/3? It seems pretty ridiculous. At least wait a week or something.
I applied right after the second deadline for a sophomore banking internship and they sent me an email saying that my app was under review about 3 weeks ago. I haven't heard from them since.
Read the application FAQ's. If you fit all those requirements 3.0, Junior or sophomore (Juniors get priority I believe) etc. As was mentioned above, they are a small team, really small.
I have had both the initial screening interview as well as a first round interview for the IBD. I have been invited for a follow up Skype call. Applied before October 15th, has anyone else had a similar process?
I've had the same exact process.
How was the follow-up interview? Thanks.
any updates?
whats your status?
I applied around October 15 as well. I did my first round screen Skype interview and I have not heard back from them since. Thoughts?

In the same boat. Apparently they notify in mid to late January but this whole process seems a bit up-in-the-air to me
Hi everyone! A bit late to this forum, I applied to SEO for the 2nd round have had the three interviews and am now just waiting for their decision. I received an email that said my application is under consideration and that I will hear back in January. Any of you who have interned at SEO, is this email a bad sign?
Did you have all 3 interviews over Skype? How did the second vary from the third interview?
I had a Skype screen, in person, and another screen follow up
I applied back in October (believe it was the first round) and was rejected a couple days later. Really sucked because I'm a junior at a non-target school and SEO was probably the only way I was going to get an offer for a SA position. Oh well, guess it's time to switch gears and look at other careers. Good luck to all you fellas currently going through the process and happy holidays guys.
Quitting before even starting. Should def not consider IB. HH
Really don't have any option other than to forgo aspirations to get into IB, especially considering the current circumstances of my situation. Right now I need to finish up my degree and hopefully get a job in a finance capacity. I might do an MBA and give it another go, but we'll see where life takes me.
An MBA won't make it "easier" to break into IB. Target MBA programs want to attach their name to students who exemplify a thirst for self improvement. Seize the moment and dive into either management consulting, Big 4 or other fields that feed into good MBA programs.
I bombed a bunch of SA interviews and only landed an offer after practicing my interview skills with other companies, while still secretly shooting for an IB analyst position.
Any news on applications?
Any news guys? So far I had 2 interviews with SEO. I did well on the 1st one, but I think I screwed up the Follow-up interview. I haven't received any news yet..
Quick question: If I withdraw my application from a bank, can SEO still match me to that bank?
Ask them. They will work with you.
Ask the bank or SEO?
Void.
I already have an internship would it be beneficial if I still did their process anyways I got an email yesterday
Has anyone gotten an offer yet?
What was the 2nd interview like for IB?
Has SEO finished wrapping up their recruiting?
No. I have a second round interview with them next week.
has anyone had experience with SEO
I mean can someone give me details about the in-person interview I just scheduled for an interview in two weeks and I want to be sure how I should prepare
If you interviewed a month ago, but haven't heard back... does that mean you are waitlisted?
did you do the in-person?
I am in the same situation man. What did u interview for?
Does anyone know how SEO ibd recruiting is going? Are they done interviewing? I had 2 rounds of interviews but I haven't hear anything...
They will most likely send a final email in March.
Had first and second round interviews at the beginning of the month, haven't hear back, will wait until Monday before reaching out.
