[quote=peanutbutterjelly]a lot of banks are just showing up for formality. keeping good relations with the school and career center. at the end of the day, they will probably hire no one.

that's fucking depressing---i'd almost rather them not come at all if they're definitely not going to be hiring... why lead us on if that's really the case?

 

i heard about Citi's superday last year. They brought a ton of applicants into the building, and they did not give an offer to anyone. On top of that, they ended up rescinding 5 offers.

...probably just trying to keep relations on campus. but it would really matter for the top targets.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.

you heard incorrectly about our superday last year. i have several kids in my group specifically that came through the superday process. Overall, we had approximately 20+ people make it through the superday process. Those people had to go through a rush process when deciding what groups to join in IBD.

 

They rescinded more than 5 offers... they actually gave out way more offers than they had spots for and ended up using a lame excuse to "fail out" a good percentage of their class during training.

 

GS is definitely recruiting - at least they are budgeting a decent amount towards FT recruiting relative to the other banks. Not sure how many will end up with a position, but I know they are still holding interviews, superdays, and all that jazz. It might just be to go through the motions and maintain relationships, but I think this is important considering that firms such as MS and ML are totally cancelling their interviews to save the T&E expenses.

 

ML is still recruiting. Whether theyll take anyone is a totally different question. Someone on this board mentioned a disconnect between HR reps and what is going on at a corporate level. ihavemoneynow said it best, way too many rumors. Apply all over the place and keep your fingers crossed.

MS is still recruiting. flying people up for superdays and stuff

But do you know if they are actually hiring? A friend at the firm said they were canceling S&T interviews and not even taking people for IBD.

Just what I've been told...ionno..
