2018 ModernGuild Thread

ModernGuild seems to be a very promising program for (perhaps mostly) diversity candidates from non-targets hoping to get free interview trainings and guaranteed interviews from firms like JPM and Barclays—This is why I found it a bit strange that there hasn't been a thread created yet. Any fellow applicants here?

I did the modernguild consulting track last summer. Didn't get an offer from the sponsor company but did for IB at a BB. Feel free to ask any q's.

 

The deadline to apply was a few weeks ago and haven't heard back yet. Is there anything I could do such as network with the MG guys to boost my chances or should I just wait it out?

 

hey thanks for your help! do you need a high GPA for this? did you have a very strong application?

Also I heard that there are company events with sponsors such as Barclays and Jpmorgan after you have applied? Did you get invited to these or attend these? How do you get invited to them?

Curious also! I am really interested in this. In the application it says that you can be invited to early events with sponsor companies such as JPM/Barclays/Macquarie etc......... Has anyone heard about these early opportunities yet since they have submitted their app?

Thanks!

 

hey did you get an email from some guy about the Bloomberg internship? and also any other emails from the same guy about different bootcamps from partners like barclays/citi etc?

So I just got an email to update work employment status, but only for the Consulting app, not the Finance app. Does that mean I've been dinged for the Finance program and only being considered for Consulting now?

 

hey @Jiayi-Chen12

congrats!!! that is amazing. are you a sophomore?

Also did you receive the invite through Modernguild or did you apply on your own? Do you mind please saying the date you got the email to apply/ then were invited? Is this specifically a ModernGuild bootcamp?

I can PM you also!!

 

@frog2i" Hey! would you mind explaining a bit more how you got it? I have got emails from seth also, but I have not got one from Moelis. I got them from other companies.

Is this for a women's program-your moelis one?

Also, I was wondering if you had invites to any other bootcamps and which ones?

Really really appreciate it if you could share your experience!

 

A few friends and I did ModernGuild and I think that it's a sham. The founder seems desperate and they fail to mention that MS dropped them. They've picked up new partners, but don't really care for participants and care more for growing their business. Programs like MLT and SEO seem to care more for program participants.

 

oh no really! johounkhn

how do you know MS dropped them and why do you think the founder seems desperate?

why do you think it is a sham also? doesn't it help with getting interview/preparation?

 

They have a waitlist. Don't know what the turnover rate is, but there will undoubtedly be some people that got offers that decline, or some banks that allocate some extra spots. Congrats to everyone that got offered a spot!
