Am I screwed - I was interested in securities and ib
Alright, when I was applying for BB SA positions, I indicated I was interested in Securities and IBD.
Recently, I was invited for a super day for the Securities division, however, I am no longer interested in it. My main focus is IBD.
I have not heard back about being invited to the IBD super day, yet. The IBD super day and the Securities super day are both on the SAME day.
Since I have been invited to the the Securities super day, am I essentially screwed for IBD?
Or is there a chance that I can be invited to both and would obviously have to choose which one, in which case, I would obviously choose IBD.
Some firms allow you to interview for multiple positions on the same super day. However, they most likely would have sent you invitations for both at the same time.
My guess is Securities is your only option at that particular firm- maybe IB somewhere else? Just my thoughts though, I could always be wrong.
Some of my close friends who applied strictly for IBD at the same BB have not heard back either about the super day.
Any additional input/advice is greatly appreciated.
which BB? GS?
Not going to say which BB, but no, not GS.
BUMP!!!!
If you have an outstanding offer or superdays scheduled with other firms in banking, communicate that to HR. Explain that you saw you were allowed to indicate a preference for more than one division on the form, but after speaking with alumni/friends/mentors/employees at that firm, you have come to the conclusion that banking is better aligned with your interests and you would love to be considered for an interview there.
Basically, any leverage you can get from outside of the firm will help you get the interview you want with the firm you want. Show that you're informed, decisive (not wishy-washy about multiple options), and prepared.
APAE, this is at the SAME firm. I have a Securities super day offer, and I am waiting on hearing back for IBD. Nobody has heard back as of yet.
why not just shoot HR an email and ask?
I am aware. I apologize if my post wasn't clear.
If you've applied elsewhere and have successfully scheduled banking interviews, come back to the firm you have a trading interview with and explain the situation (as I outlined above).
It sounds like you are getting a bit ahead of yourself here if no one has received an invitation to interview for banking. This would be different if the banking interviews were already scheduled and you weren't invited, that is where external leverage would come into play. At this point, just wait until you hear about an opportunity to interview with banking; in the meantime, continue networking with anyone you can in IBD at that firm. Do whatever you can to improve your chance of receiving an interview.
Back when recruiting, I successfully scheduled interviews in both banking and trading at the same bank as well as interviews in either trading or banking with a number of banks. It is all about the people you can connect with. That will get you interviews. After that, it is a matter of how well you can sell yourself as a candidate. It's not impossible to wind up with multiple offers from different divisions in the same firm (Blackstone is an exception to this, if you successfully proceed through interviews with M&A, R&R, and PE, they will force you to indicate a preference before extending a formal offer).
