BAML SA 2021: Is anyone participating in BAML GCIB Step Ahead Diversity and Inclusion Program?
Just received this email. As an update to our Step Ahead NYC program – we will begin our final round interview process this week. Business representatives from your assigned track will be reaching out over the next few weeks to schedule final round phone calls for our summer 2021 GCIB internship programs. Please feel free to coordinate with them directly to find a time that works for you both.
Wondering if anyone knows how this will work, typical acceptance rates, etc.

Received the email too. was confused if the Superday is a phone call?
superday is a phone call. just not sure how many phone calls will it be and when, but yeah it’s a phone call
When did yu get into this program?
I’m confused about whether the superday will be calls also. Do you know how many interviews it is? I thought it wouldn’t happen until mid June, not sure what to expect.
@Lmogfg pm me
@helpagirloutnow" reached my daily limit of PMs, will try tomorrow.
I am on the GCM track and from my understanding the first phone call is more of a "mentorship" call where the professional you are paired with will help you prep for the interview. However, I would be prepared for that call (at least come knowledgeable and have your "Whys" ready) bc chances are they will be vetting you during the call even if it has the label of a "mentorship/ check in call."
PM me I’m GCM as well. A lot of people seem to be IB
I received the same email yesterday in IB. Additionally, I got an email last night scheduling a phone call. Not sure if it is a mentorship/check-in call because I already received a mentor about a month ago through the program. Also, when I scheduled the phone call, the calendar invite from the person who reached out titled it as an interview. I’m gonna assume it’s an interview.
let us know if it’s an interview or a check in call because I thought interviews wont start until june
My email says its a final round interview and its a 30 minute phone call
wow just 1?!?! how can a superday just be 1 30’ phone call haha
I wonder how long it will take to hear back. It seems like they are moving quick with just one phone call.
so when is your interview? this week?
That’s weird. My mentor just reached out to me 2 days ago to walk me through the process. it might vary based on which group you’re interviewing for? not sure
i didnt even get a mentor just interveiw request. its 30 min. let us know when you speak w/ your mentor if its just 1 30 minute call and thats it. ive never heard of such a short superday on only a phone call, but maybe theyre doing it diff now
have you asked HR if its actually just 1 30min interview and then hear back
How technical should we expect the interview to be since it is only 1 call?
Has anyone had their 30-min final round call and heard back about offer/next steps?
I had my call already but I haven't heard back anything after. And Im not positive on whether its supposed to be just the one call or if there will be more.
How did your call go? How technical should we expect it to be
Is anyone having interview today abd has anyone heard back from interviews?
I had mine today and there was only one technical, have not heard back yet but very easy process with friendly interviewers.
Have you heard anything about how many interviews it will be? And was your interview for IB?
@sarascott0727" you had more than 1 interviewer? i had 1, 30-min call today not sure when my next will be and im assuming they woont get back to us till we complete all the interviews
Last week I had a call with my mentor which was super technical, not sure if that was part of the screening process. I had one interview today that was not technical at all, just a conversation and I also have another tomorrow. Really don't know what's going on, but I would say just be prepared for whatever whether it's just a mentor call or an interview.
was the conversation just basic behavioral?
No, literally a conversation. he was waiting for me to ask questions and we talked about random stuff.
I literally had the same experience on my end haha
so its 2 interviews???? was it clear which calls were mentor calls and which were interviews? i got an email yesterday that doesn't sound like an interview so it could be my mentor since i never got one...
Did you hear back yet since ur done interviewing?
Not yet, they said that I would hear back once the whole process wraps up in a few weeks
Has anyone been reached out to about scheduling a second interview? I have not, but was just curious.
I have not.
Your interview was technical?!
Hey, does anyone have further insight into this process? Whether it'll just be 1 phone call, multiple phone calls and interviews, and when decisions/ offers will be given? The last panel took place today, and I have only had 1 interview thus far- so I am wondering if that is it
was your interview technical at all?
anyone heard of any updates?
Am curious to know when they will be wrapping up the interview process, especially since they started them earlier than expected
Does everyone in step ahead get an offer
Anyone have any updates / had their second round call yet?
I don’t think it’s a second round call I think every interviewer gets 2 no matter what. I still don’t have a second call it depends on your interviewer to reach out
did anyone on the IB track have phone calls with analysts/associates for the interview? or just directors and above?
Has anyone heard back after their 2 interviews?
Has anyone been reached out to for a second interview yet?
Yes, had it last week
Interesting. I heard from HR that they would be reaching out for the second interview some time this week.
Did you get an offer?
Hi everyone,
I did both interviews a few days ago. Everyone will get two interviews regardless of how well they do in the first one. Also, I am not sure if we'll be hearing back for a while. I spoke to a recruiter who said that they're going to interview everyone first and also that they're waiting for approvals to start giving out decisions ( not sure what exactly this means tho).
What track did you hear this for? I think they’re finishing interviews up this week.
IBD. Omg really? That's good to hear! I've been feeling super anxious lol
Hi, did you reach out to get your interviews? I’ve only spoken to my assigned mentor but haven’t had a single interview yet
Hey no. I didn't reach out. HR can be pretty slow so I wouldn't worry. You should reach out if you don't hear by the end of the week?
Nope, I didn't reach out either. Should be fine since it sounds like interviews are still happening
did any interviewer reach out to you yet? i also havent done a single interview so far, and it’s thursday already..
Do y’all think we’ll heat back by Friday
i've heard people say everything from the end of this week to a couple weeks, so i'm prepared to wait for a while :/
has anyone on the Sales and Trading track still not heard back about the next steps/ when their interview is going to be/ who their mentor is?
I’m on the S&T track too and they’ve been silent and don’t respond to any emails
Okay good to hear it isn't just me, I'm going to keep reaching out to HR. Let me know if you hear anything.
Spoke to HR yesterday and she mentioned that they were not making decisions until regular recruiting. Was anyone else told the same?
Yes SAME. I don't get why they're doing this
would that be in July?
When I spoke to HR a week ago, they said a couple weeks, not a couple months?
Does anybody have more info on this ^^?
For those who have had both interviews, was the second one technical at all or still behavioral?
Both depend on tour interviewer in my experiences mine were both behavioral mainly
Has anyone received any updates?
Heard that same quote on conservative estimate is August, but was told by an interviewer that they wanted to let us know in the next week or so but not sure
Same here, spoke w HR yesterday to say I had competing offer, but was told they still were not likely to get back to people anytime soon unless something changes
It’s gonna be so bad if results are out in August... how could they remember what we said in the interview 2 months ago? that doesnt make sense.
agreed. i wonder why they are doing this and if they'll maybe surprise us sooner than expected with calls... cannot imagine waiting till august
Totally! Been feeling so anxious about this. Other banks seem to be going on with recruiting normally ( and even wrapping up the process pretty quickly)
has anyone on the S&T track heard back yet at all?
Nope, nothing in a few weeks and no responses
Anyone have updates on when decisions will be out for IB?
Same as what everyone's said above :(
Do you think we’ll hear back this week by any chance?
no. Results are out mid July at the earliest, can be until August. I just spoke to HR in charge of this 5 mins ago
Where regular recruiting? Do you know why this is like why July
Do you guys think that they haven't made decisions at all OR that they've made decisions but don't want to let us know just yet. Either way this is annoying
Just finished up the second interview earlier this week for IB. Have most people had their second interview?
Yes. What did they say in terms of offers and when we can hear back? I think they’re caught up bc their SA program started 2 days ago.
Didn’t have the chance to ask my interviewer. HR said they would keep me updated on their end.
.
was your second interview mostly behavioral too?
Yes. Did you participate through the step ahead diversity program also? ###
Anyone have anymor updates from HR? Have another offer expiring in 2 weeks and have no repsonse from HR on email yet
Haven’t heard anything. When did you send the email?
On Wednesday. Also emailed one of my interviewers zero response
I had an offer expiring and HR told me to either take the risk if I want BAML or let them know what I decide so that they can remove me from the process.
that’s awful
what did you end up deciding? I'm afraid that could end up being me lol
is any of you guys still hasnt had the second interview? I had my first interview and havent heard back for a while already..
I think if HR spoke with you in phone about hearing back later summer it means they want you just can’t extend offers yet.
I feel like that's what they told everyone so not sure about what you're saying. Did anyone get rejected after their interviews?
Has any one on the trading track heard anything about interview in the past few weeks?
No, not yet. They were supposed to arrange interviews this week, but hopefully next week they'll send us an email.
Are you saying that this week we should be hearing back about when our first round interviews are? Just wondering because HR still hasn't gotten back to me yet.
is it possible that our decisions are being delayed because trading's interviews are so late? I'm thinking it's the other way around, that trading's interviews are late because they decided to get back to us a lot later, but I'm not sure
I’m in IB and still havent had a second interview so.. we just have to wait until july-aug
bump
Has anyone with an exploding offer been able to get more information out of HR?
Nope they'll just tell you to take the offer if you want OR take the risk and wait for them to get back to you ( and that can take as long as july/August)
update for s&t ppl: a recruiter just told me they would send us emails about scheduling interviews next week; interviews will be in july
Sweet, it’s been like a month since we heard from them. Are they final rounds?
Yep.
This is for just our inclusion/diversity program right, not regular apps?
Yeah, for the early program
Have you heard anything yet?
Not yet. I'm not sure what's going on
Should we apply when applications open tomorrow? or do we not need to since we did this program
Just got an email from my BAML campus recruiter that regular recruiting will open "later this summer". I'm at an Ivy.
same
Do you think we need to apply regularly even if we are in Step Ahead S&T? I would assume no but I'm still waiting to hear back about interviews.
HR said that we can. Diversity decisions will be made before regular recruiting
Are decisions going to come before regular applications for S&T or for the entire Step Ahead Program?
So I know they said July/ august for IB/ Capital Markets, but is there any update when in July this would be
anyone hear back about IB offer??
No hbu
anyone in S&T heard back about interviews? Weren't we supposed to hear back last week about scheduling them/meeting our mentor?
That’s why Hr said but still haven’t heard anything
Is anyone here in GCM?
Just got called today with an offer
Got a call last Friday from the MD interviewed me saying that I was accepted as a generalist (there will be events following to determine the group). He said I will probably revieve the official offer via email on the same day and I have until this Firday to decide whether to take it or not. But I haven't get anything formal yet so maybe the call was a mistake lol.
u go to a target?
it's a target for BAML but not for most other banks
