Hi guys - heard from a few sources that GS for London 2021 has given out offers, but are still deciding headcount for the New Year and therefore have many post superday candidates on hold (i.e. not yet rejected, offered or waitlisted).
Can anyone confirm? Are people likely to receive decisions this week or more likely the New Year?

have a few friends who did Superday more than month ago - HCM said they are still making decisions - my bets on waiting until New Year for hearing back
They made some offers to candidates with no downsides, everyone else has been pooled it seems
Any news as of?
I did my final round on 15th December and still waiting. Nobody in my interview’s group heard back yet. Was yours IBD?
What nationality was your AC for?
Italian, what about you?
Yessir IBD. Mine were first week of Dec
What’s your nationality, if I can ask?
I completed my Hirevue in November and still have not heard back. (IBD)
My application status is: Hirevue Completed
Did an AC first week of Dec-20; GS invited me to another AC two weeks later, which should take place this month (Jan-21)
Is this IBD?
What’s your nationality?
When you say another AC, do you mean additional 30 min interview? Happened to me as well
Does anyone know if headcount have filled up for the British hires? (SA or FT GS IBD London)
For IBD SA London I doubt it has filled up yet. Though I know loads of people who have done the AC and are waiting for responses (so once they all hear back it might get filled up).
Makes sense - and the people you know that have done the AC are British?
Just trying to work out if it's actually done by nationality and trying to gauge my chances
German nationals done as well?
Had mine end of November. Didn’t hear anything since. What about you?
You mean AC or HV?
Did HV roughly 2 months ago
AC
-
What do you mean on hold?
-
Anyone asked to have a call scheduled with HR?
Not me
Did you have one?
Seems like IBD SA haven't filled up yet, I know a French mate whose AC is scheduled tomorrow
Has anyone who interviewed back in December heard any news from HR?
But why are they taking so long??
The reason the process takes so long is quite intuitive - there are a ton of applicants for limited spaces per nationality. You are competing solely for 5-10 roles per nationality in the whole of classic (could be slightly fewer depending on where you're from). Also some people who interview with a certain region get put in UK/ ROW so they are constantly reshuffling to my understanding. Offers should filter through till end of Jan. PM me if you want any advice for the final interview!
Do you know how many people in the intern class are English/french/Italian/German?
Total probs between 5-10 for each, maybe nearer 20 for UK unis (which does not in any way mean just British necessarily btw)
Cannot dm you as you are anonymous, can you please reach out for final round tips?
Just got the offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Massive congrats! Well done mate. May I know what your nationality is/ when your AC was?
Any news for people waiting post ac?
still waiting
What is your nationality/ which country is your university in?
Anyone have any updates? I heard they should get back to us early this week, perhaps even today?
No news on my side yet
following
They told me they’d back to me within 2 weeks. How accurate has that been for everyone else?
Very far from accurante, it’s been more than a month for me and I’m still waiting
Wow that’s disappointing. What division did you apply for? And did they give you a timeline, for when you’d hear back, after your AC?
I had my AC in mid November, I was told I would get an answer within 2 days, finally got the offer 12 days later. (I am a French student who applied for IBD SA in London)
So you received your offer in November or just now? (ie January)
bump any updates this week?
Nope... Emailed them last week but no answer. Did anyone email and actually got a response when we should hear back?
Same here... is your status on the application portal ‘additional interviews’?
Rejections coming through guys
Others got replies too? Nothing yet for me...
Oh, may I ask when did you do your AC? What nationality?
Email or phone?
Has anyone here had an assessment centre for the Merchant Banking Division? If so feel free to PM me I'd love to hear about it
A friend of mine got accepted for SA there. No AC from what he told me, only interviews.
Anyone got an update?
Nothing for me (IBD)
According to a friend, still a few vacant places left for Scandinavians (in both, IBD & Markets)
I’m seeing a few people receive offers today on LinkedIn
Did you happen to notice any trends in the nationality of the people who posted?
Did you happen to notice any trends in the nationality of the people who posted?
They were British
But I’ve also been seeing a lot of Americans over the past week receiving offers
Any idea what divisions? Classic IB or Financing or both?
I’ve seen mostly middle office roles, but I’ve quite a few Global Markets offers
Great thanks very much!
Did you see any IBD offers?
Any action?
Still no update for me
Do you think it’s fair to assume that we have been rejected as most people have been waiting for months now?
Yes, would have assumed so a while ago. Not sure why they haven't gotten back to candidates yet
