Career Resources
Seems like only texas IB opened. A lot of those will go to the local target schools. Last year they opened other positions later so we will see.
? All are open
My bad, when I checked it there was only Houston,
Don't they mostly recruit from their SA class anyway?
yep, only for the open positions after some SAs leave to lateral to PE/CVP/EVR

FT Partners (140K Base)
Anyone know what 'Not Retained' means as opposed to 'Application Turndown'.. is this a new way of rejecting or what?
Nevermind, it auto withdraws your fifth application. Only 4 allowed.
Share your profile/background and office location to get a sense of the competition
I don't think anyone is up for that.

Any update folks ?

The current postings are not gonna be looked at until August when they have an idea of if they even want to recruit FT or not.
The people that constantly say “bump” or “following” on this must not have internships in banking. If you have an internship in banking rn the only focus is on getting a return offer- then you recruit. They don’t want you if you don’t have that return offer in your hand
That’s probably why it says FT, because they don’t have an internship…………….
Ye its gonna be rough if they dont already have an internship. Its hard enough for the MM SAs to upgrade to GS
If you don’t even have an internship why the fuck r u applying to GS FT
Can fresh analysts at other banks (ie starting this summer) apply? Too early to apply for lateral positions, but I dont mind ”dropping” a year considering that my bank has a 3y program
Nah wait a year. Doing this might even get u fired from your current bank lo
But how will they find out?
Do we know how long it took for them to get back to applicants in the previous years?
August. Usually straight to superday
No hirevue?
.
don't add a cover letter nobody reads them
ldn is still on hiring freeze or no
Bump also curious.

Spoke to a VP - FT is definitely happening
Spoke to an MD and said that most spots are taken up by SAs. Got a referral from him and haven't heard anything yet.
It’s too soon for ft interviews
what group?
Tech
Tech
What is the status of your applications? and has anyone heard back abt Hirevue/ timelines?
"under consideration"
what's yours? is everyones labeled as "under consideration" or "under review"?
None of this doesnt matter. It is literally just there so they have your resume in the system for HR. While its possible for them to sift through this pile if none of the shortlisted candidate pan out, not sure if it is something you want to bet on. You need to network for this and each group does their own hiring. Process will be straight to spd that will happen either next week or the week after.
Source: spoke to a BUM of a group that is planning to hire FT.
Would you suggest cold emailing/linkedin messaging?
hc team is recruiting for the new analyst program or no?
Reach out to the BUM lol. None of us here will know
anyone heard back?
Will happen either later this week or early next week.
Is it the time to send out an invitation or the time for superday?
good luck to all
that's for NY or London?
Are applications closed? Ngl I didn't even think about this until locking in the return. Anyone know if it's too late to get in the mix?
There is always a chance but its gonna be tough
NYC Superdays just went out.
Which group
What kinds of questions do they typically ask for a Superday for a full-time role?
Are there anymore coming out?
Get to rank preference. Had a referral so potentially they will send more out at a later date.
Does anyone have an idea of when we can expect next steps for the London office?
bump
Anyone else got super day?
when is yours?
Is this for IBD classic?
Has anyone heard back or is this the same guy trynna stir shit up
Super day invites have in fact gone out
London or NY?
Which groups were available?
Relax dude
calling strong cap on the superdays.
they are tomorrow, HC/C&R and some other groups.
Thoughts Thursday was the only day?
Superday for NYC has been out. Thursday, August 15th (group ranking is across classic and financing and includes all groups). Just because you can rank the group doesn’t mean they have full time spots.
Email states: Please note this is the only day we are currently holding interviews.
Damn no more coping
I’m still waiting for my zoom links tho
g
Anyone know how many SD went out and about how many spots they're looking to fill?
They don’t know. It’s from HCM not the groups themselves
Anyone heard about AWM
Bump
Believe it depends on what in AWM but at least for real estate I've heard there's no process going on right now
Anyone have any leads as to when results are gonna come out for today’s IBD Classic Superday?
Head count dependent. This one is organized by HCM and they made all the groups participate regardless of situation. If a group has spot and they liked you from the SPD you will get notified.
How’s your SD go
Anyone hear back from yesterday’s Superday?
nope
nope
Any hope if we applied yesterday? Internships just ended last week, surprised there was a superday as soon as yesterday, if true. Do ya'll just not have IB internships?
Lots of ppl tryna uptier + PE internship with low conversion rates needing a back up.
Thanks. Any chance you think they’ll do more interviews or it’s all finished now? Surprised GS would move so fast instead of giving at least a few weeks to avoid missing out on any top talent that waited for internships to end/get return offers
anyone have any color on S&T or ER, or if they're hiring at all?
any insights for London office?
Anyone heard back from Thursday superday?
Bump. Would love to know
No
Offers are out. Know a buddy who got it.
Which group?
Calling cap
Just got rejected
Was it by email or by phone call?
Did ur status in the GS portal change?
Is there no HireVue for London?
Offers should be out within a week, so Thursday. Heavily headcount and group dependent.
what groups are hiring
Don’t think anyone really knows unfortunately.
Believe Healthcare hired. Maybe C&R did as well but not sure
if we applied last wednesday are we fucked? haven't heard anything back yet
Depends. They may have another spd if more groups have availability. Don’t think anyone really knows.
Wait for the rate cut in September my friend
Bump - anyone gotten an offer?
Rejected. Think offers went out to HC and C&R for non-SAs
any updates for ldn?
