When did you hear ab Barclays
Haven't heard of anyone getting Barclays yet. Is this true?
.
Moelis, RBC, Piper, WF, Jeff, Guggenheim Houston 1st rounds are out
Source: I worked at a top-tier Houston bank
is that just houston though
I believe so
Is it just Moelis accelerated interviews or all first rounds? I heard it was late December
Recruiting acts in waves. First wave is generally who they feel best about but that doesn't mean the lead is totally dead for you.
If randoms on the internet are getting invites, that's likely noise. Different schools often have different timelines.
However, if people at your school are getting calls, that is signal.
Reach out to your best contact. "Very interested in continuing in the process with Moelis and look forward to participating in any next steps".
I've seen candidates get back into the process after first waves too.
From the banks perspective they're racing to secure the best candidates and usually those best candidates end up w multiple offers they turn down and then the banks scramble to the next wave and so on.
Congrats on Jeff
Who’s gonna tell him
is it rolling or are all of the first rounds out?
Barclays doesnt have a first round, its just the superday, and they said around 2nd half of Jan I think
can confirm not true
I was in the discovery program, happy to pullup the exact quote from the recruiter.
I got a first round for BARC on Monday, phone screen
for which location and what school u go to?
I go to a non target, this is for nyc office
People are getting first rounds for Barclays in NYC as of today
Yep. Just had R1 phone screen today. For NYC office in coverage/M&A.
Hey what was the phone screening like? Did they ask any technicals or was it just behavioral
when does London process start? February or so at the earliest im guessing?
Did Capital Markets come out?
Not sure how reliable it is but Trackr says 1R out for Barc, MOE, P72 and several MMs
is this just for IB or did S&T/capital markets/equity research also come out
