Submitted FT app two days ago which recently opened. Have not heard back yet. Will update.
I think it opened like a month and a half ago
I think the SA app did. But the FT app opened recently, although it may not have been two days ago. I check careers pages every day and it's easy to forget which one opened what day.
Talked to my friend at Moelis and he said people won't hear back until return offers for SA's have been given. Then it'll be a 1-2 week sped up, informal process that's only one round to quickly fill the openings. Also, your application won't get you an interview there for FT, you have to know someone and have them tell the office to interview you
Do you know anything about SA apps/process?
All I know is that SA apps are open and details from my process with them last year. Moelis's process is very tough to get into. You have to know somebody at the office to even be considered and their first round interviews aren't really interviews if you go to a target. They interviewed 10 people at my school and showed up knowing who they were going to move to the next round and tried to convince those kids why Moelis is the best firm. The other kids who they already decided weren't going to move on had a legitimate interview, but no matter how well they did it didn't mean anything
Can confirm what Hoosier is saying. That's how Moelis recruits at my school as well.
Thanks for the info. In the process of finding someone to speak with now.
Nice, Did you connect with anyone yet?
An MD is supposedly helping me out so hopefully there is a slimmer of opportunity for me coming from complete non target.
coming from a non-target with a personal connection gives you a better chance than coming from a target school with alumni at the firm. Coming from a target you'd be competing against other kids at your school who have the same connections as everybody else. I was told by my mentor to focus on off-campus processes because there will be way less competition with kids at your same school, and that's how I got my summer offer
off campus processes as in?
which office?
NY
I've talked to people there including analysts and HR. They are only reading applications after the deadline to apply has passed.
From HR, re: Summer Analyst recruiting:
They're going to start looking at non-core (non-target) applicants July 5th and will start interviews at the end of August (via videoconference)
SB's plz
and What about for FT
They won't do anything for FT until they know the return rate of the current SA's, so everybody will probably hear back in early August
Confirming this*
FT first rounds are this week, Super next week
Invites out yet?
yeah
Refer to the master excel 2018 IB SA tracking document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19fBzOhbCBWz13mg5V1wA8TL8_1ewPP_…
You little fuckers are crafty. Props to whoever thought this up.
Bump, any updates on interviews?
Nothing, I think the next couple of weeks we should hear back
How many offices/locations can we apply to?
Has anyone heard back from Moelis second round for NY?
