anyone get updates after submitting pymetrics?
Nope, nothing yet. What were your results (most unique ones)?
learning, quantitative reasoning, and fairness! wbu?
There was pymetrics?
yeah I got it right after I applied. I think the pymetric invites are automatic
following
I never got one either. What should I do?
Any update for BNP process?
was told official process won't start til late summer / early fall. get networking in now
Anyone know if Pymetrics is important for BNP? I've heard at other banks like JPM it doesn't affect the application very much
Does anybody know the recruiting timeline for global markets?
Can confirm from 1st hand source that GM starts recruting in early August. Tho I do not know if they have an accelerated process for diversity etc. I highly doubt that tho
Deleted
are applications closed?
no deadline in sep 6
Got pymetrics invite half an hour ago. Anyone else? Took me like weeks to get it and applied first day they opened. Are there selective at all? Didn't network yet
I don't think they are selective. Applied late June and received Pymetrics within an hour.
Any update?
Bump, anyone hear back from anything IB related? Also does anyone know if we can interview for multiple? Thinking of targeting IB and FIC
did they start interviewing for snt?

Honestly just dead silence for now. I wonder when it starts going? Can anyone confirm timeline?

Anyone else just get a bunch of emails to complete Pymetrics? I already did all of them but my application looks like it won’t update.
yea I did too. I thought it wasnt working but for some reason BNP asks for more tests than JPM. I just finished the four tests that were not in the JPM one.
I can give u guys an update: recruiting will not start until after the September 6th deadline

Anyone hearing anything yet?
Anyone hear anything?
got the 1st round for its NY Global Markets Division
Has anyone heard from IBD recruiting?
Just had my first round with NY Global Markets Division.
Got a first-round interview for corporate coverage. Anyone have any insight into this particular group? Is it within the investment banking division?
Did you receive the link to sign up for the interview?

How did things go?

Anyone heard back from the S&T first round?

Are they still processing the first round? Haven't heard anyone get the superday
Does anyone know anything about their FT timelines this year?
Anyone know how long does it take to get feedback about next round?
^ anyone hears back from last week's first round?
Received a superday for NY Global Markets
Any suggestions for the superday?
Any idea on top groups/exits?
anyone heard back from corporate coverage?
Is corporate coverage considered ib?
Did anyone for Global Markets hear whether they would move on during their first round? I heard this was common and but didn't know if anyone actually experienced this.
I was told they are finishing first round interviews in the next 2 weeks
Really? I thought their last super day was in about two weeks?
Okay this is going to sound dumb but someone please help me out. What is "super day" ? Anyone know how many people will interview me and what type of people those are. Should I expect a lot of technical questions and how do I prepare for that. Any advice would be very appreciated. I feel very underprepared.
A superday is usually the final round of interviews. It’s called a superday because in most cases you’re doing many interviews back to back with a large number of bankers. In my experience this cycle they’re about 2-3 hours long with 5 or so interviews with 1 or 2 bankers each. There will be technicals, in my experience the same difficulty as first rounds but just more of them. Depending on the firm they may have 1 or 2 interviews dedicated solely to technicals or they’ll leave it up to each banker to do a little bit of technical questions at their discretion in each interview. Number of people depends heavily on the firm and how their recruiting work, it’s something out of your control and won’t play into whether you get the offer or not. Hope this helps.
Did anyone hear back from corporate coverage?
Also wondering this, haven't hear back yet
hr said will get back early this week, but haven't receive anything....:(
From first round or super day?

I just got my superday invite
Anyone else get an M&A superday
yes
Had one last year.
Know your technicals, and every part of the M&A stuff, and know wtf synergies are. I also got asked about PIK interest and a lot of shit about accounting so make sure you’re good with that. Standard valuation stuff nothing fancy.
Behaviorals are standard, just be sure to thank them after the email. Smile! Be friendly!
