I have been told that they are already on second phone interviews and some ACs. One of my friends, who actually has less experience than me and a less good profile has been invited to phone interviews. They are also not going to offer off-cycle internships and are reducing FT offers (this was told by an internal analyst in Citi London).

Overall, we are really fucked.

 

Well I did the Citi tests like 2 weeks ago or more, and yesterday received the confirmation email that they were going to revise my tests... and I used a referral of an analyst in the department (note that the referral of an analyst is actually not that good, but you know, it's something else to add...)

Even with that and my referral pushing my CV, I'm in the same situation as you guys. HR is really fucked up and you need to be or a target or have very good network in the office (for the Covid19 era).

 

I just did my first round interview over zoom and my app still says Business Review, but the process might be different for me as I am applying for a FT HR Analyst. Only got the in-person because I attended literally all the webinar sessions for my function and connected with every analyst I could talk to.

 

Status changed from business review to application review... normally business review is the final stage before you get invited to first round or a rejection, right? Does anybody know what this application review status means, is this the next step after business review or their way to say "you didn't pass the business review"?
