Applications went live, so lets discuss the recruitment timeline. From what I've heard, the process will be Hirevue straight to superday, though Hirevues are not automatically given out.

I have heard the same. Do we know where to find the application for industry groups/ when that goes live?
When you try to apply to the GCIB SA program does it only show LATAM? Thank you.
It does for me, going to wait. Can't find NY for GS (Only like Tokyo and Bangalore) and only see LATAM for BAML.
How many divisions/positions can we apply for?
3 divisions max for USA, each application will ask for location preferences.
Anyone had any luck with the IB application not only being NYC LATAM?

This link work?
Yes, thank you !
Just looking for confirmation from people who applied already, hirevues aren't automatic right?
From my understanding, they are going out after some review much like Goldman. (Acting as a somewhat selective first-round call). Someone correct me if I'm wrong
Appreciate the response. I've heard similar but wasn't sure
Just applied to Sophomore IB. Didnt get to pick a location, and hirevues are not instant.
did you get the online assessment that the website mentioned? also applied to the same program, and just got a confirmation email. no assessment was sent...
Does anyone have insight into the superday process at regional offices? I had a soph superday in NYC a year back but got dinged, now I'm looking at an accelerated process superday on the west coast soon and I'd like to know what I could expect.
I'm currently a non-diversity rising sophomore who applied, could you give me some insights from your process last year?
PM'd
Is this for Palo Alto?
No
Is there a test you get after you apply?
No
Am I stupid, or is there no option to apply for IB in Hong Kong? Is that app not open yet?
If your GPA is a 3.48, can you round it off as a 3.5?
Yeah of course. Actually 3.5 rounds to 4.0 so might as well put that
are Canadian BAML apps separate?
Anyone hear back about hirevue and/or superday yet?? From talking to analysts it seems they're beginning to review resumes this week but its a rolling process with three separate superdays
Not yet, still waiting for Hirevue interview.
I heard from a contact the process won't really get moving until August. He didn't mention Hirevue (those will probably come soon) but said super days wouldn't be until August.
I would second that. Heard from a contact yesterday and he said "late August superday."
Submit your applications in the next two weeks.
why in the next two weeks? all of the applications pool from the start of the application to two weeks will be on the first superday?
Not sure tbh. He actually said "two and a half weeks", which would essentially mean by the end of the month.
I had a first round for the LA office back in lateish June, does anyone know what is going on with that office's recruiting or did I get dinged?
Regular or technical?
Can confirm superdays will be in August, talked to an MD who's the head of the process for my school and he said first superday will be August 14th he believes followed by two more in late august (he said probably 26th-30th week)...still haven't heard back about hirevue and neither have any of my friends recruiting
Anyone know the email template for BAML? Ive tried first.last@baml and first.last@bankofamerica and neither seem to be working...
All my contacts are still [email protected] the person has a middle initial or there are more than one person at the company with the same first and last name
the domain is bofa. com they dropped the merrill lynch part
When is the first interview then superday for sophomores?
Don't think anyone knows
Hey guys, update on the recruiting process. Just received notification a couple hours ago that I got the first round hirevue. Don't freak out if you dind't get it, my contacts said its a rolling process so the resumes will be processed in waves. Good luck to all, hope this helps
anyone else received one?
Thanks for the update. This for ny?
Was this for IB?
Yeah, IB New York
Does anyone know if this is a diversity program? And does anyone know about how many people get in?
Im a straight white male, not disabled and not a veteran so its not a diversity program
Can I ask when you applied? I know the waves of hirevues were generally sent out every two weeks or so
haha same
Is anyone applying for S&T? Want to get some insight about the recruitment process for that.
I also applied, haven't heard back yet
also applied, pls let me know if you hear back anything
I also applied, haven't heard back yet
thats what I applied to. Did it for all BB banks and the hirevues are surprisingly all easy. My prop firm interviews have been 10x harder
Hate to be "that guy" but someone had to do it. Anyone who has done the hirevue and want to share the BAML 2020 questions?
Ok yeah, shit thing to ask but lets be honest this site is about providing info to help people break into IB. So if you're a superstar that aced the hirevue, sharing the questions isn't going to hurt your chances, you already got the superday. And hate to say it, but if you went in having not prepped and shit the bed, your chances are over (for BAML) and sharing will not harm you either. So to whoever out there has done it and is confident in their fate, be a homie to the rest of us and spill the questions
-
cashewking is right. If you are struggling with a hirevue you most definitely will not survive the superday. Btw pm me when you get the hirevue questions.
Haha you'd be surprised, doing in person interviews is actually much easier and more natural than getting a question prompt on a computer screen and talking to a camera for 2 min, so I actually think I'll be fine for superday (plus I know technicals like the back of my hand). Also, theres for sure people that DO know the hirevue and I will have to compete the likes of them and their pre prepped answers, so I'll take every advantage I can get rn
Hi, I'm a bit late but applications in the Middle east start Sep, can you PM if you managed to get the hirvue questions please
Recruiter for my school said that the Sophomore timeline will be running later than the regular SA timeline, and that the process will move forward in September.
For those who got Hirevue, is this for IBD New York? Are they doing waves or is it one Hirevue group similar to Goldman's process last week?
Don't know about anyone else but my apps all say "application received" and not "under review" (I applied IB New York, IB LatAm New York, and GWIM New York), so I think that for those divisions at least nothing has moved yet unless you were accelerated/diversity or part of some other special process
So sophomore hirevues haven't come out then? Just for junior
Nope, wouldn't expect anything to happen until August at the earliest.
Anyone do the hirevue yet? Not asking for questions, just curious as to how its structured. When I did JPM a couple weeks ago it was 4 roughly 2 min questions with 30 seconds to prep and 1 retry per question...I'm wondering if its similar for BAML? Particularly, are you allowed a retry or is it one attempt only?
-

I know hirevues are sent in waves, but is everyone guaranteed to get the hirevue eventually (like JPM)? Or is it selective
Selective
anyone have any insight on the hirevue questions? Basic behavs?
Target, 3.93 GPA, TA and RA on campus, hedge fund intern, networked with 4 analysts, including one very influential one in recruiting, and visited their office for a selective event. Applied the day it was open and still no hirevue? explanations . . .
just how it be in this cruel bitch of a world
Oh wow ur a TA and an RA, I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t just make you an MD right out....
hardo is looking for the wrong type of MD if he's flexing a 3.93 lol
Network with bankers higher than an analyst
Not meant to be an offense, but just because you "networked" doesn't mean that they will give you an offer. Talking to analysts isn't simply checking a box next to each person you talk to. They have personally told me that when talking they judge candidates based on their personality, intelligence of questions, and gauge their interests in the bank and its groups. I obviously have no clue what your conversations were like, but if they were 15 minutes and you ran through the questions on guides to informational interviews, odds are they may have picked the kid who seemed genuinely interested and talked for 25-35 minutes per convo. Hope this helps, again not meant to attack you just offering one possible explanation because from what you said you are more than qualified

Username...........hardo alert
Bump.
Its an absolute atrocity that you have not yet been offered a full time position let alone an SA
Got a Hirevue yesterday, due wednesday 17th, applied to Palo Alto, SF, New York
IB I assume?
ya...will venmo for hirevue questions dm me
Anyone know when we will hear back after hirevues are submitted?
Superday is August 14th so I'd assume within the next couple of weeks
Nah I think you usually hear back after the superday
Anyone heard anything from GCM?
^?
Anyone hear anything from the Houston location?
"End of August" for superday
Anyone get a Hirevue for Houston yet?
Palo Alto, anyone?
Is the superday for all groups on August 14th? Or just IB? Hoping to know about GCM's superday, please reply or pm if you have any info.
First superday is august 14th...theres three different ones for IB the other two are towards the end of august
When is the first GCM superday?
Any idea how long between submitting the video interview and hearing back about the superday?
2 director level contacts flagging resume and still no hirevue. Applied day apps opened. Is that a sign I got dinged somehow?
In a similar boat and wondering the same thing. Surprised no hirevue yet.
Similar situation - kind of giving up hope on it unfortunately. I've pretty much spoken with an entire analyst class in a group and a director, yet no HireVue. Thinking its time to move on for me
I know at BAML analysts have little to no pull in regards to recruitment.
I spoke to one analyst at baml and got a hirevue, but spoke to 7 analysts and a vp in recruiting at GS and didn't get one there..seems like a crapshoot
Talked to VP in charge of recruiting and two analysts in group and it went very well, still no Hirvue.
Did everyone who's gotten Hirevue's apply right when applications came out? I applied 1-2 weeks later and was wondering if I should hope for a Hirevue in the next few days or if it means I'm already axed.
I applied Saturday the 6th
Thanks. When did you receive the Hirevue? I'm trying to figure out if it's rolling or if it was all at once
I submitted my application on the 9th. Still haven't gotten a HireVue.I spoke with an associate alum (not involved with recruiting), and he said that he heard nothing is set in absolute stone about the process yet. Started moving with the process, but slow.

Anyone gotten any updates for the sophomore program? Mine still shows application received in the portal.
Last year I got my HireVue in November and did my Superday in January for the sophomore program. I think they are prioritizing SA interviews right now.
A recruiter from my target school says Hirevue for sophomores coming out late July/August so coming really soon
I just met with an MD (one kind of removed from the recruiting process FYI) and he mentioned that HireVues are going to be given out on a school by school basis. I'm a non-target, so keep that in mind, but he did say that I can expect one as a few analysts and himself shot my resume through - just wanted to give you all an update on the process. I submitted on July 1, so I guess there is still hope for those of us who have not gotten one yet
thanks for the update
Yup, and the videos are watched by the school team
Is this true? HireVue's are watched by the school's team? So do they decide who gets a Superday?
do people know when we'll hear back for superdays?
no clue still waiting as well
not sure if you posted above but when did you complete your hirevue?
I go to a target school, and was worried that I hadn’t received one yet so I emailed the recruiter at my school and asked a question about my application. She got back to me today. 2 hours later I received a hirevue. Could be a coincidence, but I think it’s worth noting
Also networked VERY heavily, so she already knew my name. Definitely could’ve also impacted it but figured I’d give all the info I could give
What did you ask?
Actually first superday is next week. Submitted somewhat 3 days earlier than apps opened, not sure if it's early recruiting
Diversity maybe?
Did you hear back on the superday yet? I was at the same superday but have not heard anything from them yet.
Is hirevue for BAML Houston out?
Have not received one yet. From what I understand, the HOU timeline is less accelerated than NYC.
Same bro, what Texas school do you go to?
Anyone know what's going on with the LA office?
Have either of you heard back from LA regarding superday? I had a technical round back last month
Hi guys, does anyone know when applications for London IBD will open up?
Has anyone heard back after Hirevue?
Just Received a hire-view request. I applied on July 15th. I spoke with a campus recruiter on Friday, could be a coincidence.
Out of curiosity, how did you approach talking to your campus recruiter? I'm thinking of doing the same but I feel like it's a little forward to straight up ask them "when can I expect a hirevue"
"What's the recruiting timeline" is a better way of going around that I think
