GS, MS, JPM Summer 2021 Recruiting

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with an accelerated interview with any of these banks (or other firms that recruit in the summer/fall) due to an exploding offer?

I'm a current sophomore that is trying to figure out how to navigate this staggering recruiting season.

Thanks!

GS/JPM will not accelerate you not matter what. There is strict company policy stemming from seniors and I know for a fact that the recruiting teams have met to discuss this issue. I faced the same dilemma when I recruited, as it was even more staggered than it was now. You either risk it and wait, or you play it safe and sign the first offer you get. There really is no "strategy" here to navigate the recruiting season. It is what it is.

What about diversity recruiting / Goldman's spring undergraduate camp participants

 

Is JP and GS going to be doing on campus recruiting, or they done with that?

 

ms will open apps in spring but recruit in summer/fall, gs/jpm will recruit in fall

 

info sessions yes. first rounds no.

first round at GS is literally a hirevue.

 

It's important to know everything about the industry try getting a subscription with the economist here is a link economist.com/ev5 that will get you the first 12 weeks for $12 and another link for economist.com/TNEV5 a 51 week digital subscription.

 

July 1 is when they open the application but would advise to fill out ASAP afterwards

Summer 2021 is already filled up for GS/MS/JPM.

You were a bit late with your post.

 

Good chance that 2020 summer's will do their internship onsite for 2021. So the slots are already filled.

 

I had experience with this when I was recruiting for my SA position-

I got an exploding offer from a top MM shop (HL/Blair/Baird/etc) as I was interviewing with MS. I got a super day invite from MS but it was after my MM offer expired. I explained the situation to my MS interviewer (he followed up with me after I got the superday invite, I mentioned the offer), and he said he would try to figure it out with HR. However, he told me a few days later there was nothing HR could do because they didn't have superdays set up, so my options were either accept the MM offer or turn it down and hope for MS. I'm a risk averse person, so I accepted the MM offer.

I got the return offer from my MM and intended on at least shopping it a little for FT recruiting, but once again the deadlines were pretty quick. The return offer was exploding and MS (and other places) process didn't move fast enough, so I took the MM offer.

Now here I am as an analyst considering trying to lateral out of the same MM, so interpret this story as you will. On one hand, I might have 'settled', in that I probably had a good chance at a more prestigious bank (either as an SA or during FT recruiting). On the other hand, my lateral situation is looking pretty good and I think I'll be able to get a 'better' position if I decide I want one, and I have a banking job that I like at a solid firm. In my opinion, the current situation (feeling like I settled) is about a million times better than potentially ending up with no offer, and I would forever regret turning down the offer I had if I tried to recruit to go for MS and failed.

A final note- absolutely never renege. I've heard too many stories from kids at my school and others in the industry of horror stories. The risk just isn't worth it.

 

Can you share why you're looking to lateral when you're already at a top MM? I've heard normally heard positive things about the top MMs in term of culture, compensation, and deal flow.

 

Tried to accelerate the first two, but didn't work for MS and I think they're against reneging, GS called to tell me they wouldn't mind me recruiting for SA even after I've accepted the offer (aka renege) and JPM also probably doesn't care

 

MS is open but apps will not be reviewed until after July 27 (non-rolling). Have given out offers to accelerated already (can't confirm if this is still ongoing tbh) JPM is open and has an accelerated process – the accelerated process has superdays in July (can confirm as I'm in it), not sure about regular but I assume in August as that was the case last year and they told me accelerated candidates have supers in July. Either way, I would still apply ASAP. GS opens July 1. Some other threads say that they've received an accelerated process, which is new this year.
