BMO really did a speedrun rejection on my application. This has to be the fastest rejection letter, like ever.
There was a job posting by BMO (Toronto Office) for the Corporate Banking Associate position. I applied at 9:56 am (I worked on the application for 3+ hours) and received a rejection letter at 10:06 am. Honestly, I am not even upset, I am somewhat impressed. Application sent: Rejection:
How to cope with rejection/difficult feedback?
I have been applying for summer IB internships for over a year. After many rejections, I received an offer from a wonderful investment bank that I see myself being very happy at. However, I also recently had the opportunity to interview with one of the most “prestigious” firms in banking. I...
Rejected by almost all firms, don't know what to do
I just received my rejection from Big D and the third and final MBB. I'm just numb. So far I've been rejected by OW, MBB, D, and LEK. I graduated from my undergrad with a pre-med-esque degree last year and decided I did not want to become a doctor and fell in love with consulting. I have a pretty...
After failing to break into IB, what did you do ?
Hey guys, wanted to ask you (if you couldn't secure a IB job) what you did instead or what you plan to

Do I still have a chance? 3 days after assessment centre/superday

Rejected
Does anyone recommend reaching out to the HF PM you interviewed with after being rejected and thanking them for their time? Anybody have experience with following up emails post rejection asking for advice on where you could improve? Just curious how to leave things. Thanks
Offer rescinded less than 1 week into internship, they said "it isn't working out" and no longer need me. What do I do now?
Today was my last day. It was with a small but dominant real estate agency. Like a lot of you here, I'm a hardworking, driven junior finance major from a Big Ten university with a 3.9 GPA and plenty of ECs. I was looking to really throw myself into this internship, learn the industry, produce...
Rejection
Mod Note (Andy): Make sure to check out the comment inside the post by @M- Weintraub" So, it's been a while since I've provided content to this wonderful website (sorry Patrick). But, I figure now would be a good time. I just received a nice "Your no longer being considered for this job" update on a...
Do BB reject final candidates through email or phone call?
For those who failed before final-round, probably they'd get the rejection news through an email, but what about the very few who made it to the final, will BB reject them through a phone call/ an email? And normally will they reject the final candidates after having hired someone? or will they...
‘Tis the Season for Rejections
You walk out of your superday feeling pretty good about your performance. You start recounting all of the questions you were asked and your amazing responses to said questions. “I nailed this one” , you tell yourself. You reward yourself with a latte from the neighborhood Starbucks and think to...
Vetted Candidate?
Hey guys, Got a question. I applied online for a research position at a 2nd tier investment bank almost a month ago. I received a signed rejection letter today from the manager of US Research saying that they can not offer me a position at this time, but as a "vetted candidate" they may consider me...
That special call
Hey Guys, At least in Europe, the banks have blocked numbers so you know that after interviews, when someone calls you from a blocked number, you know that it's that yay or nay call. I got mine two days ago, rushed out of class and people saw me dancing and jumping around while the HR lady told me...
What a great feeling!
Thank you for sending us your application for our investment banking summer internship program. We have finalized our selection process and reviewed your application. However, we have chosen another candidate for the summer position. The internship program received an overwhelming number of...
Ok?
OK? And now?
Is this rejection?
When an employer responds to your follow up email with a, "best of luck in your interview process", does that basically mean you were rejected?
Getting dinged by HR but got contact inside
Hey, found myself in a bit of a pickle.. I applied to a portfolio management role and I'm worried about getting dinged by the HR before they pass on my CV to my contact (MD) inside the firm. I told my contact before applying and he welcomed my application but did not tell me to call up or email him...
When will I hear back after my finance job interview?
Please try to stay calm. The interview is over so there is nothing you can do besides sending the standard thank you e-mails. Depending on the number of positions available, anywhere from 20-80% of the super day interviewees may receive offers later that day. Other strong candidates may be put on...
Outlook on offer, PE
I had a final interview at a PE firm for a financial analyst position exactly two weeks ago. Two days after the interview I was contacted and it was requested that I provide my official academic transcript and two references. The following Wednesday (one week ago) I was again contacted saying my...
Generally, would a strong incoming analyst still get rejected by a few banks admist all his offers?
Suppose you have a guy applying for a full-time who is probably in the 90% of applicants. And say he applied at not every bank, but absolutely at a wide variety of them. It's hard to predict, but for argument's sake, do you think he could get an offer from every employer, or is that impossible?
McKinsey Keep In Touch Letter...Does it Mean Anything?
Hi guys, I applied to McKinsey FT online and obviously got rejected, however, I got an email about a month ago saying that they wanted to keep in touch with me and that I just needed to fill out a form. I thought, "why not" and went ahead with it and earlier today, I got some random materials...
Responding to a rejection email at a Boutique
Hello, Just received a rejection email for a MM Boutique, just going over the reasons why I got rejected, they said they are not looking for any interns at the moment, I did (break one of your rules) and say I would intern for free – slightly frustrated with the lack of responses from other banks,...
Do banks always notify students of their decisions?
I had a couple of first-round interviews on campus last week with two BBs and two boutiques. One BB sent me a rejection email the following day, but I still haven't heard back from the others... When I was interviewing for SA positions, I heard back right away about Superdays. I also sent emails...
Is There ANY advantage to being an accountant instead of an Investment Banker/Consultant
So, I didn't end up getting anything with a BB or consulting firm and it looking more and more like I'm probably doomed to be an accountant (at least for a bit until I can transition from an MBA), so I was wondering, is there really any benefit to being an accountant vs investment banker? The only...
Wow, Apparently I Got Rejected Purely Based on Chance
So basically, I had a phone interview with a F500 company last week and I thought I nailed it. I was so confident after that interview that I would get a second round, but then I got a rejection letter from the person who interviewed me. When I called HR to see what went wrong, they literally told...
15 first rounds, 3 superdays, 0 offers-- what now?
SA Recruiting at my school is finishing up, I've got no offers and need to regroup. I had 15 first round interviews, about half BBs and half boutiques. My resume is solid (3.85 GPA, 800/740/700 SAT, HF internship, Big 4 experience, Case Comps, etc.) but somehow i've really been screwing up...
What's your favorite, a phone call rejection or a rejection in the mail?
I have received over 100+ rejections in my career. I feel like both of them are terrible, but I actually prefer a rejection in the mail. Sometimes by phone, you feel like you had a great chance of getting an offer so your hope gets up when a number from NYC calls you, while with a letter in the...
I keep getting rejected from Goldman Sachs. Please help me.
This is very discouraging. Im a sophomore and so far I've had two interviews there. Both ended in rejections. First interview went okay. Second interview I thought I nailed it and had it locked in. I know Im only a sophomore but if they don't like me now, will they ever?
Recruiting Question - 5 years experience
Just got done with an hour phone interview. Recruiter says, "Well we were really looking for someone with 5 years experience doing something completely unrelated to what you do. Sorry about that!" and that's the end. Thing is, they had my resume. They can see what I did or did not do. I've been...
rejection etiquette
Say you send an email to a person in HR inquiring about the status of your application, and they respond informing you that you've been rejected. Should you send one last email thanking them for their response? Bit of a silly question, lol, but I was just curious.
rejection but still future potential
hi guys......i went through many rounds with one particular firm (3 different phone interviews, lunch interview in ny , and full-day interview in boston).......after all of the rounds i just got a call saying that the other applicants were stronger so they werent able to select me.....they asked me...
Apply for SA if graduate fails?
I was under the impression that if banks rejected you for a graduate role, there wasn't much point in applying for a summer role. However, a top-few just carried forward my (rejected last November) graduate application to a summer internship application in two different divisions for two different...
