Did a hirevue and got asked to fill a form of my 5 interests. I spoke to a recruiter and was told within the next month or so.
got the form aswell; still waiting to hear back from any.
Bump but for ft
Filled out form with preferences. Waiting on what's next.
Gotcha, same here. Didn’t get confirmation or anything after you sent in the form right?
I did not receive a confirmation. the page just turned blank.
Anyone get a superday invite?
For FT or SA?
For SA. Received an invite today for one later this week, structured debt vertical.
Nothing yet after pref form...
What is the current view on SMBC in the US? In terms of exit opps, comp, etc.
If you look at LinkedIn its mainly laterals to BB/MM/EB
Was told that invitations for interviews should be all sent by Friday the latest
Anyone hear back after SD?
I had a superday on Friday 10/15, SA M&A vertical, haven’t heard back yet
Hey, do you mind sharing what questions were asked? I have a superday for lev fin October 25th
Fairly standard behaviorals, why Ib/resume walkthrough, why SMBC. No weird questions. Interviews 1 2 and 3 were mostly behavioral focused with a few basic technicals. 4 5 and 6 were heavy on accounting and valuation technicals, my last interview was almost all technicals with conceptual and numerical questions
Same here, HR said to expect to hear back early this week so hopefully that’s today or tomorrow.
did you hear back? if so how long did it take?
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know how strong their LevFin division is? Do they have a FS group that models or do they actually model? I am specifically interested in their London office but I guess there's not much difference from the US. It sounds like an interesting place to be after their acquisition of GE Capital's EMEA leveraged finance portfolio
.
So I’m assuming nothing else is coming today. Anyone hearing anything back from the 10/15 SD or are we all doomed to a lifetime of pumping gas lol?
Lookin like a lifetime of pumping gas atm lol
F in chat for all of us
Applied for Structured Debt didn't hear anything back yet
.
Received offer for structured debt this morning.
Congrats, Fulltime? or SA
Thanks! Nope, SA. I think their full time recruiting doesn’t really kick off till this is done so I imagine offers won’t go out till November/December.
Did HR call you for offer or just an email? I had my superday two weeks ago. Missed HR's call on Friday, hope that's a good sign
HR called and then sent an email immediately after with the actual offer. Probably a good sign!
A friend who SDed 2 weeks ago told me he got a rejection call Friday from HR. I believe he SDed for Lev Fin and Acquisition.
Did all the Structured Debt teams have their superday for SA or just some?
.
Did you hear back yet?
.
Anyone from 10/21 hear back yet?
had my super day today for lev fin. When should I hear back?
Did you interview for SA or full-time?
SA
A lot of times for superdays they'll give out an offer within a day or two. Because of the virtual interview environment though, I think they're doing interviews throughout the week instead of all in one day so it might take longer to hear back (at least from what I've heard).
I heard back on the same day
This probably doesn’t add much but had FT super day for FIG (about a week or so ago) and haven’t heard anything yet.
Had FT interview for the LevFin group last week as well and haven't heard back either
I've been told they take 1-2 weeks to get back to people.
This is comment OP. Got call and did not get it ( >1 week since SD).
following
I talked to my contact in a group and I got rejected. They only took one intern and the person participated in a prior program/internship with them. Good luck everyone in other groups tho.
What group?
DCM
Did anyone have a SD last week and hear back?
Got an email today with invitation to SD scheduled for November 2. Corporate and IB coverage group. Anyone know what kind of questions to expect?
Standard behaviorals, why SMBC/this group
Any update on SA for lev fin??
Got invited to SD for Project Finance without having applied to that division in the first place. Anyone on the same boat as me/know what to expect from the conversations
I got the offer for PF LATAM, not sure if anyone else here did as well?
I got the superday email for syndicated loans on Friday and my superday is on monday. Is anyone else in the same boat as me? What can I expect during the superday?
Damn only 3 days to prep? That’s fucked. I had mine for lev fin so don’t know if my advice will help.
Def know your story, why the division, be able to talk about your experiences, and get ready for a few accounting and valuation questions
yep got an email for syndicated loans superday on friday with the same superday on monday. don't know what to expect but looking for more insight
Does syndicated loans at smbc fall under DCM or another part of the bank?
Just got a rejection call from HR. Fuck SMBC. Process was so disorganized
What group? FT/SA?
SA - lev fin. I asked for all of you, expect calls This week
Same just got a rejection call this morning as well
When did you SD?
According to a contact, they focused on their targets (Fordham, Baruch, stern, etc) and disability candidates. Best of luck guys!
Got a rejection from them on Monday as well. Recruited for full time in their Leveraged Finance group.
Just wondering, has anyone actually gotten an offer from them? I seems like everyone who heard back from this week didn't get in.
They had 75 spots for interns and most offers were extended. I was on the waitlist until the candidate accepted.
coveraged lending sd what to expect???
Behaviorals mostly and why IB why SMBC be sure to emphasize your interest in IB. Also if its in Houston, make sure to know a little about the O&G industry and be able to name drop some companies: Things they have been doing well and not so well.
Was it not bombardment of technicals?
do you have any info on the lending management group under CIBC? idk if it is even IB anymore
Got my offer for SA last week, same day as SD. Accepted 3 days later.
Congrats!
What is the current view on SMBC in terms of reputation, exit opps, etc? Thank you!
Bump
I had a super day on 11/01 for sales and trading. Anyone else hear back or had their super day on that day?
I had mine 10/21 and heard back within hours. What division of S&T? And FT or SA?
