Citi SA 2021
Since apps are open and info sessions are starting soon at targets, thought I would make a thread. Any updates on the expected interview timeline?

Spoke to an IB Managing Director, interviews won't begin until late April/ May.
first rounds are feb 28th at my school
Skeptical of this. Hearing final rounds will be in March at my school. Target in NE
IB or Markets
Spoke on the phone last week, he told me apps opened but that the "interviewing process" wouldn't begin for at least 2 months...
I can verify it. My school only has citi recruit on campus and am 100% sure.
Incorrect, last year I got my offer by mid-April.
So are you saying first rounds are starting late February or sometime in mid-March/late-March?
I also got an offer April 25th. my first round was also feb 28th tho and it’s the same for the intern class after me. I didn’t accept the offer but if u wanna dm me I’ll send you the offer letter and super day pics.
Due to Covid-19, this year might be different from last year tho.
.
where? generalist or fig?
This was correct. More selective now is word on the street.
Bump
1st rounds at my school are Mid-March
first round for 2020n summer or 2021 summer? Do they start in spring 2021 for summer 2022 summer intern? Thanks,
First rounds within the next month and superday/offer april. At least for tech
tech IB?
Yes for SF tech
can confirm
first rounds are calls right?
Yes
For SF Tech group, what did the first round interview look like? Mostly behaviorals? Some technicals? or Mostly technicals?
.
wtf is up with this industry? recruiting for internships over a year in advance.
Target school here, was told our applications for our school would open in May / June. Not sure why the timing differs so much from what seems to be the case for other schools, but that's what the information session relayed a while back.
Is COVID-19 pushing Citi's recruiting back at all? I know a lot of the current SA's have had their internships changed and that diversity has not taken place yet, so are we now expecting April/May first rounds and superdays?
Diversity first-rounds still happening now for Citi NY
No, am at target, have FIG-specific phone screen on 3/19
Did you network?
po
Any idea on timeline for rising Sophomores?
For SA 22? Diversity 21?
Diversity freshman now, applying to SA 21.
IB SA 21 first round interview tomorrow, now virtual
Are you a diversity and/or at a target?
bump
target school, not diversity
Yo how was the first round?
When will Citi let you know about superdays after the first round?
How was your first round? 2 calls (1 behav 1 technical)? Difficulty?
Thanks
It's 2 calls? I was never told anything about that, I was just emailed that someone would call me.
I think bm's trolling. Just got off phone with a mate there. He knows nothing about it yet, and they haven't even closed the apps.
100% agreed. Too many people trolling, got told they're still trying to finish diversity recruiting for Sophs and are debating delaying recruitment slightly due to COVID
See my above comment, other dude's not trolling at all
Anyone hear back after first round CMO?
i haven’t yet and i don’t know anyone who has! i think capital markets are doing it differently but not sure
Was told by multiple VPs that recruiting has not even started yet. Don't know if you guys are just Harvard Yale Penn kids or diversity
neither but had my 2 screens today
Target?
Can confirm target schools have begun first rounds.
BC went last week, with superdays this week from what I hear.
Another northwestern Indiana target school has first rounds tomorrow
There are confirmed superdays this week? invites were already sent out?
Is this Advisory or CMO/CB?
As a fucking Analyst part of the BC Team at Citi, this is literally not true. Gosh this website sucks nowadays...
Anyone know if target recruiting is seperate/before non-target recruiting?
Spoke to a VP today; said recruiting hasn't officially started, and that they are pushing it back due to COVID. Nevertheless it seems that some groups already had first rounds. This was for IB LatAm.
what about interviews for FIG?
Just had my 1st round today
Ive also been networking with Latam IB, dm me
Wait I’m confused are you all talking about internships for next summer. Why is it so early. I thought applications opened in July or is this thread for Europe or something????
This thread is for the US. Interviews have already been given out at Citi and some other firms. Some other banks will go later in the spring/summer.
any first rounds on the 24th?
People are having first rounds for CMO and Corporate Banking virtually next week. Target.
which school?
Got referral from a Senior Associate in CB. Still no rej/first rounds hear back. Target. People from same school got first rounds for IBD this week. Anyone know why?
Just because someone refers you doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get the interview. It simply increases your chances.
Can confirm Citi has started interviews. I had a virtual interview last week, received a call back from the MD telling me that they will be hosting a virtual superday sometime in the next few weeks (Email from HR with more details should follow). Probably differs school to school (mine is a target)
Is this for Advisory or just CMO/CB?
Yeah, advisory -- didn't apply to other divisions, but I know Capital Markets and S&T also had first rounds.
What the fuck is wrong with this firm recruiting so early.. all of its peers recruit in the summer
Is it too late to apply?
Hearing from sources/comments here saying recruitment is pushed, whilst others are saying it's happening rn, one of the only banks I know of with this much conflict regarding starting recruitment time
I am from a target (H/W) and have extensively networked. I am not diversity. Based on the people I know at the firm, interviews haven't officially started. The people claiming they have gotten interviews, including superday offers, could be telling the truth -- but they are on some type of accelerated timeline that isn't available to even the general pool of target school students that have networked.
My friend got IBD first rounds as an alternate. He didn't even network. Do you mean he is on some types of accelerated timeline? He also applied to CB and S&T but no response yet.
Got mine through OCR. No special timeline, my school just has a good relationship with Citi/a dedicated a alumni base. Not sure how it works at your school, but we have first rounds with our OCR team, and then some of us are given superdays. If you just applied through the Citi website, this probably doesn't apply to you.
100% agreed, thanks for clearing things up
anyone hear back after doing first rounds? or when should i expect to hear back?
Did an alumni from your school do your 1st round? or random
alumni, i actually met him a few weeks ago at a school event
You ever hear back about anything?
anyone hear back from ny ib first rounds yet
yeah, superday is today.
are you in early ID? or regular ocr?
when did you have your first round?
Just got an offer yesterday for a 2021 SA position in generalist IB! Was in the Early ID program and just did a superday yesterday.
you get an offer the same day u did super day? that’s was insane, when did you do your first round?
I did my first round on March 9th and was given less than 2 days lead time for the superday
are you a diversity student? Is Spring timeframe for normal (non - diversity students) too?
Anyone hear anything back from S&T?
Have you received first round interview invitation?
didn't apply yet
Looks, like they’re moving fast again! Same timeline as last year. Some offers should be out now and general superdays will be in late April and early May. Went through S&T process last year and superday was very early May. Top markets group on the street!
source?
Had an offer last year and have some contacts.
Anyone else receive a case study for the super day NY IB?
Was it take-home? or on the spot? Or did they give it to you before, in order to present it during the superday?
?
on the spot case, not so difficult, just basic accounting staff
Did you do the Early ID program or OCR?
EID
Citi always gives a case study as one of the interviews during the superday?
Curious as well how the case study is structured?
any non eid ny s&t hear back from first rounds?
i heard back. they said i got superday but unsure of when theyre interviewing me
they reached out to u after 1st rd or u asked for update?
Non-target, received a first round for SF IB.
Deleted.
Does non-target recruiting take place after target recruiting for Citi?
If I haven't submitted Citi 2021 app but have 3.95 at target (not diverse) is it game over or are there any options/other waves of recruting?
Why are you waiting any longer
anyone applying to their chicago/boston office?
accepted an offer from citi chicago for IBD 2021 last week. their summer analyst class is filled
which group? Are you at a target?
what groups is this for in Chicago?
Has anyone heard back from ny ib superday yet?
Heard back, when was your SD
Congrats! When was yours? I did yesterday...
Anyone did superday yesterday 3/31? Any hear back?
Heard back for ny ibd, did yesterday
Generalist? or FIG
woww congrats! When exactly did you hear back? Did you interview for any specific group within ny ibd?
Did you do EID or OCR?
How does Citi decided whether you do Generalist or Group interviews?

Are both (or all 3) of you guys EID?
