BUMPPP
also applied. Bump
I worked there I few summers ago, honestly one of my best life experiences. I have never had higher comp for the type of work I was doing. The atmosphere felt like I was actually in the wolf of Wall Street movie. I can’t makes this up. It was a memory I will never forget. I will always be upset that I did not seize the opportunity that they gave me at the time, instead pursuing a co-head position at a top BB.
Anyone received online test tho? Idk why I havent received the online test yet
just got it this morning
Applied too – bump
first rounds out
bs
They said first round will be held at the end of April lol
offers out
already doing the internship
why bother never hearing back anyway ffs
let me guess msc student?
bump
bump anyone hear back?
completed OA on 11th, still nothing apart from OA feedback – "Please Note: First round interviews for this role will commence at the end of April, with the final stage taking place across May and June"
I am assuming then that they will be sending out first-rounds either in the last week of March/first weeks of April
how do you know interviews will start by end of april? do you have a source?
Any updates?
R1 just came out
Damn...
Anyone can confirm?
yeh got R1 too
are you guys interviewing for a specific team or everyone is in the same pool
I think the same pool - mine doesn’t say a team
is the OA given instantly?
Hey, anyone got the interview invite for Birmingham office but hasn't been able to book yet?
Same here
bump, got mine R1 for very late April, is that the timeline for the rest of you guys too?
yes
Got R1 invite today, scheduled for early May (London)
Anyone know when we can expect to hear back from R1?
does any1 know what ac looks like for this?
u alrd got ac?
nah haven’t even done R1 yet just curious haha
Did London R1 today, they said they’ll get back with AC invites and rejections in about 2 weeks
can confirm, was told 2-3 weeks
yeah same mental timeline. does anybody know how much longer post AC to know the outcome?
What does the R1 look like if you don't mind sharing?
Havent got R1, should I assume im rejected? I know there were 2 openings, one for Sept and one for Jan.
In the same boat. Guess we are cooked
any update from people who did R1 already? has any1 been called for AC yet?
I think should hear back next week for London, they said c. 2 weeks after R1 to hear back for AC
Just for everyone’s information; the recruiter said they were planning on first batch of AC on the 16th May and second batch on the 13th June. So some of us should hear back early next week Also some people had a last minute R1 interview this week, so they may not be fully satisfied with the initial series of R1s
Has anyone heard back yet for London AC?
nah have you?
Heard that two super day rounds one in May and other in June
Has anyone been invited to AC yet? Given one is supposed to happen in 3 days already as per the comments here
Bump. Nothing yet
maybe they got the date wrong cuz i think i was told late may like 25/26
Prob the case, wouldn’t give anyone this short notice
Anyone hear back after R1 today?
do you knwo someone who heard back today?
Anyone with an update after R1 yet?
haven't gotten anything yet
They be taking their sweet old time fml
Anyone get an update for off cycle?
I just noticed this open up - pretty late to the game. You think they're gonna give out any other R1 offers? I've applied and completed assessments a couple days ago
Has anyone heard from AC? They should notify AC at least a week before no?
Nothing:(
Has anybody tried reaching out to the HR via email? just wondering if it's gonna yield any results
Wouldn't bother lol
This is getting insane. Has anyone heard back yet?? Was the HR legit lying about the May AC?
Was involved in a process with them not so long ago, they’re useless. Ignore emails (even after promising feedback, for example) and take ages to reply.
maybe they realised uni exams so no more may ac idk
No, they held the AC last Friday.
Got invite for AC on June 12 for January start, not for London tho
Did anyone hear back for offer/ding after the AC?
When did you do AC
Spoke with someone who got the gig last year. Took them a month to hear back lol
Is this AC for Birmingham?
Assuming no update after R1 yet means dinged
Such a joke the process honestly
Anyone heard back about an AC?
Read up offers out yes
There are two AC's I think?
Got an invite to R1 today, is this normal given the stated AC dates?
I had an invite to R1 two weeks ago
Had R1 yesterday, told me there was one AC planned in June and another in July
Did they mention dates?
No, unfortunately
are there different AC dates depending on the intake / start date?
what does the r1 interview entail?
Has anyone gotten feedback after the 1st Rd? Are the invitations for the AC out already?
Yea feedback should be out by now.
xxx
anyone heard after june AC?
Hi I know its been over a year, but I have applied to the 2026 cycle. I was wondering did you have any insights into the R1 interview and AC ? Appreciate it !
Anyone heard back already from June AC? Would have assumed offers gone out by now so everything else a rejection probs
Offers went out last week.
xxx
There was an AC this week, HR said they were going to do another and they've said everyone will have feedback by W/C 21st
anyone heard after july ACs?
Heard nothing, apparently next week.
anyone heard back from the July AC
Someone has gotten an offer that I know of, I still haven’t heard
