Barclays Springboard 2020
Haven't seen a thread yet for this, but wanted to get one going since things should start to pick up later this month with the process depending on where everyone is located (target, non, etc). Applied the day of the deadline and now the waiting begins haha
Just spoke to HR. They said they wouldnt be able to send out offers this week. They "hope" for early next week.
for people waiting for decisions from last 2 superdays... was catching up with someone in my network who was somewhat active in the springboard process, they were told information would be coming to us mid-week
I got my offer today!
Lol nope, I keep refreshing this page every six minutes like most of us on here.
since other people who interviewed from 4/17 nyc ib have heard back and i havent, does this mean im out?
There is no point in reaching out to HR or your interviewers... all previous candidates waited around 10 days to hear back so that is what you should use for reference, therefore wait till at least Wednesday of next week to reach out.
I interviewed 4/17 for IB, heard back the 30th and recruiter said that I was waitlisted as they were still trying to figure out how many interns they are to hire, idk if that helps. Said final decisions would come out mid-late May
I got an offer this afternoon. Interviewed 4/24
Everyone here should take this with a grain of salt, but my friend at Barclays told me that Springboard and other diversity programs have quotas for each diversity group. As in, take this many women, this many minorities, and it makes it difficult for them to categorize you if you don't clearly fit into one of the typical diversity groups. So there's actually a good amount of more qualified applicants in a certain diversity group that aren't taken because there's not enough room for their proposed quotas for the program, and other applicants who they weren't sure which diversity they fell under since there wasn't exactly an area to pick which diversity group they fell under on the Springboard application (ex/ a white male who is low income and considered that as diversity and went ahead and applied).
You all know the drill. If you hear anything this week, reply below. If I hear back, I will do the same.
