Check the jpm job portal. They’re always hiring and have gotten several interviews earlier on from applying to various groups
Thx bro. I saw. Was primarily looking to lateral to citi’s corporate bank
Yes, still a hiring freeze. Even internal candidates are frozen that got verbal offers
Happy to answer any CB questions you have
Source: CB analyst at Citi
Appreciate you. I’m a CB analyst as well. Was wondering if you could tell me the culture/hours across various groups. And strongest groups in NY please
tech and diversified industrials are sweatiest. diversified industrials pitches a bit since one of the MDs comes from an IB background. that role is almost closer to IB than CB
other industrials groups aren’t that bad from what I heard
Comms isn’t sweaty
energy in TX works a lot and have heard from friends culture isn’t great
Does this mean it’s not looking good for summer interns? Would it be a risk to not get a return offer or be first on the chopping block if this continues?
No. Citi is currently reducing headcount so they aren’t hiring unless it’s extremely needed, and even then those teams are having a tough time hiring people
No risk to summer interns, Citi still aims to convert as many as possible. Citi is not hiring outside of its usual pipelines, i.e., internships.
So should I apply to their 2025 summer position or is there a chance that will be cancelled since they also got rid of their sophomore internship this year?
