Barclays Global Markets Boot Camp - 2014

Heard back from S&T today, interviews this week

For S&T? Not exactly sure, but I'd assume from what they told me is that it is a chance to get to know us more on an individual basis and tell us about the program. So honestly, questions like why are you interested in finance, specifically sales & trading, ect. best of luck. what day is your interview?

Heard back from IB today, interviews this week/next I think. Have you heard back yet?

how did you hear back? what do you mean by interviews? in-person interview or phone interview? I received an email from the IB analyst saying "Congratulations on making it past the initial screening." He asks for my availability to talk over the phone.

Did you guys only apply for the boot camp or the scholarship as well?

John Jones, I had the same thing, phone interview tomorrow morning. Chimp, I applied for both.

Have either of you guys had your phone conversation with them yet?

apoligies, girl as well*

I haven't heard back yet. I applied for both as well. However, I applied the day of the deadline... did you guys apply well before then? Also, did any of you have relevant experience when applying?

Also, best of luck with the interview tomorrow morning!!

Sorry, didn't see you had both written back. Same emails you both got. Had my phone call today, I think it went well. Nothing technical. Good luck! Let me know how yours goes.

I didn't actually apply for the scholarship initially btw, but then I got in email like, "we noticed you left this blank, are you sure?" so I did it. Did either of you get a similar email? lol

@Financegirl113 I had the same thing happen for the scholarship email as well. Mine is in 10 minutes.

Chimp, I applied on the 27th I believe. I have informal experience with investment write ups and simply following the market and making trading strategies based on current events.

I'll post after the phone call how it went.

Cheers

I'll echo what financegirl said. Nothing technical, and overall went smoothly.

Best of luck to the other applicants

Phone interview is entirely behavioral? No technical questions? wow!

Anyone heard back yet? Today was supposed to be the notification date.

I applied to IB, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

I find it hard to believe that the notification date was today, as I was offered a phone interview time slot for yesterday, today, or next Tuesday. Where did you get this notification date info from?

Does this mean they may still be handing out interviews next week?

From what I understood for the S&T program at least, interviews were last week, but I was told that we would find out by October 17th the final word. This might hint that there are still interviews going on this week, but I was only given interview options of Tuesday to Friday of last week.

Screenings are still happening for IB through to the middle of next week. I imagine people will be notified if they advance by the end of the week.

omg everyone is getting interview now..panic..

I think analysts were supposed to submit their feedback by tomorrow

IMBMonkey890, where did you get that information?

So is it still possible to get an email this week?

I heard it from my interviewer but I guess it's different for different schools

damn i missed this..

Stupid question here, but for those who applied, was it just the general "IB application" and when you sign in it takes you to a general status that says Appication Submitted and chosen role: IBD. Or was it a specific application for the program or something?

I had my interview today. Most of my interview was mainly technical questions. If you have any questions just PM. Also, are there similar programs from other banks? Thanks!

That's weird that your interview was mainly technical, as I wasn't asked anything other than behavioral. People should post when they hear back! Good luck everyone.

So when exactly do we hear back?

I think it's become blatantly obvious from all the comments here that no one knows. So I think we should all just assume we're rejected once people start posting their joyous acceptances on here.

Interviewed last Thursday for S&T. Was told I would hear back this week.

Was told we'd hear back on the 17th.

When is the bootcamp itself?

From what I remember, it is nov 5-7th

I know for sure that interviewers had to submit their recs today.

Today is supposedly the day - anyone hear back yet?

I too was told we'd hear this week but given that it's 5pm EST, It'll probably be next week.

So no one heard back?

Could tell us the structure of the boot camp? Is it like a whole day thing for each of the 3 days? How hectic is it and how many interviews do you have for the last day?

Secondly, to those who received offers, how much time were you given to make your decision?

Notifications sent out

They sent them out last night around 10pm. Mine was in a spam box. You have to attend for all 3days 11/5~7. Probably around 2~3 interviews on the last day.

anyone hear back yet?

I think everyone will hear by the end of this week. I wouldn't be worried about not hearing anything yet. My buddy and I applied and heard back at different times (both via phone screens) and were told that we would hear back from HR on acceptances in the coming week. The process might be different based on target/non target school

did they already send out all notifications for IB?

Probably. The deadline to RSVP is 10/20 at 12pm EST. There could be a waitlist, I guess.

I haven't received anything???

Haven't heard anything for S&T at this point, so I would assume dinged, but we'll see.

Received acceptance around an hour ago for S&T.

anyone applying for IB received notification?

Do you guys think not getting into this program would affect the chance of getting an internship later on?

Applied for IB, haven't heard back.. the interviewer directly told me he's gonna recommend me though.. I guess that didn't work out....

Not entirely sure how common my issue was, but I received last week, but did not see it, nor was it in my spam. I was contacted via phone about an hour ago with the information regarding the boot camp and was told to RSVP. So if anyone hasn't heard back yet, perhaps look at your spam email as I understand it was a common occurrence during this process.

Anyone who had an interview for IB hear back yet? I had my interview on Thursday of last week, so I wasn't really expecting a response soon. Thanks.

I haven't heard back for IB either and all of this talk about spam folders/calls about it is making me paranoid... :/

Okay so regarding my spam folder. I double checked and found the original email in my spam and it was sent on Monday the 20th at about 1 PM, then received the follow up phone call today from HR asking if I was to RSVP or not.

IBD people, have you heard back yet?

If you havent heard back by now, it is very likely that you didn't make the cut. I reached out directly to HR because I hadnt heard back and was told it was because of my lack of diversity. This could very well be the case for some of you.

Thanks I just emailed the campus recruiter. But if it was about diversity, why did we get a phone interview?

What's the name of the campus recruiter you contacted?

I almost missed the extended RSVP deadline since all my notifications were marked as spam... For those of you who RSVPed over email (hotel, attached photo, etc.), did you guys get any confirmation that your RSVP was received? I'm a bit paranoid they somehow didn't get my email (sent it very late last night).

Thanks so much!

Have those admitted received contact from the travel team for setting up flights yet?

I reached out to my school's campus recruiter today and she confirmed that Barclays has received my RSVP. I suppose they have a lot of arrangements to work out so have not yet gotten around to sending anyone additional information after the RSVP.
