I attended the webinar and applied straight after. I applied for GCM and IBD. A few others such as Research and Sales and Trading were on offer. Did you apply?

Same haha. It looks like there will be an initial call with HR before so make sure your phone is on loud!

Do you think different divisions will hear back at different times? I'm hoping no news is good news at the moment

realestatew, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Yeah I reckon so. It seems like the two divisions will get back to you separately and run their own separate interview process

Just an update: I spoke with HR for IBD. You basically get considered for your 1st preference initially and if you don't make the shortcut, they put you through the process for your 2nd preference.

I applied before the webinar and got an email for the HR call three days ago. We had the call yesterday and the HR recruiter mentioned that I will get an email if I make the shortlist for the next stage.

Same preferences as me. Seems like it's only been IBD and Research that have started calling candidates

Haven't heard anything following initial call from IBD

I've asked people that I know have applied to other divisions and radio silence from MS too. Hopefully next week they start communicating with candidates.

On the webinar they mentioned that March will be the interview month so fingers crossed the ball starts rolling

One more question - does anyone how many Associates were hired last year in July? I saw a comment somewhere that only 2 were hired from the MSEPP 2022 program. This sounded like a ridiculously low number.

realestatew, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I think I've come across 3 that where hired last year. 2 of which were on the webinar and 1 that was used as an example to apply for marketing the program. There are 4/5 business units applying so I hope that it's not only one candidate per BU.

londonsciinspt, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I'm pretty sure they mentioned on the webinar at some point that they were looking to hire 20 but maybe I misheard? They definitely said that they wanted to hire more than they did last year. In any case, there are 5 divisions on offer so I would assume a bare minimum of 5.

I heard they hired like 20 but don't remember they mentioned anything about this year

Anyone get an automated email saying your app is in review and you'll hear back in mid-March?

Yes got same today… don't know what that means. Will probably take it as a reject lol 😂

londonsciinspt, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Ahh I hope not! You'd think they'd just reject if they already have a shortlist

No I didn't, just refreshed and checked. Maybe it's for S&T candidates?

Yeah. It means that your CV is not good enough for your first choice as screening and HV has already started (they are doing it on rolling basis), but you are being considered for your 2nd choice and other opportunities within firm. Hopefully you make it

If it helps, I also received this automated email a week after I submitted hirevue. It said completed HireVue video has been received and is under review alongside my application(Research), and expect to receive an update by mid- March, which is next week, isn't it. Fingers crossed for everyone!

ivned, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Anyone had the initial screening call and not heard back? I had the call on 1 March.

My choices were GCM and Research. Woke up to the screening call at midnight (time dif) so wasn't particularly articulate, I was hoping it was just a formality to check I was still interested and able to start in July! Did anyone talk to HR about whether there was another cut before HV

FellowSc, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I wouldn't worry too much if you sounded nervous, the recruiter will forward your cv to the hiring manager of your first choice. If your cv matches what they are looking for then you should receive a hirevue link, but if not successful then you'll be considered for your second choice. The recruiter told me that it usually takes the hiring manager 1-2 weeks to check your application, depending on how busy they are. So if you haven't heard back by Wednesday/Friday, maybe contact the recruiter to get an update on your application?

SuperUser001, what's your opinion? Comment below:

I contacted the recruiter late last week and he said I should expect feedback in 2 weeks. So this week or early next week. I'm starting to be a bit pessimistic. Please let us know what your recruiter says.

Ps - my first choice was IB. Anyone received HV for IB?

Ibma_, what's your opinion? Comment below:

No, I think people who applied for IB also received the automated email. My first preference was IB and second was GCM, I got the email last week. I just followed up with the recruiting team today, I'll keep this group posted when I hear from them.

What did the recruiting team say?

Ibma_, what's your opinion? Comment below:

They simply sent the same automated response to my follow up email. The one that says we will get an update on the application by mid March.

SuperUser001, what's your opinion? Comment below:

At this point, I think we will just have to wait. I did not receive the email and my choices were IBD, GCM and Research in this order.
Funny thing, I just logged into their portal and it shows IBD was updated on 12th Mar, GCM 8th Mar and 3rrd Feb.

Christos88, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Did you get a call or an HV invite first?

8d 
Nulli_S, what's your opinion? Comment below:

If they are still sending out HV invites now I imagine they will wait until have all been completed before they send out interviews to the superday. So my guess is that we'll hear next steps on Friday at the earliest. 

8d 
realestatew, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Yeah I agree. However I reckon they'll wait until the different business units review their respective HVs before issuing out interviews for superdays to cut down numbers, but I might be wrong.

hey, Is the superday confirmed? I thought the next step is an in person interview

Just completed to HV - 3 simple questions.

Amazing! Anyone here heard yet for S&T? I'm wondering if maybe they've decided not to participate in the program or something!

Nice, good luck! How many days do they give to complete the hirevue?

Pelcuriousquant, what's your opinion? Comment below:

no, I am just asked the same question in a different thread. I assumed they would let us know this week or next week.

Has anyone heard back yet? I applied to IM and still nothing. Doesn't seem that many people here applied for that!

I applied and my last update online is from end of Feb. I too got the automated email. Not sure what that means

CREbbg, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Did this person do the HV / initial screening or did they just go from hearing nothing to ding?

realestatew, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Heard nothing at all then ding.

londonsciinspt, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Interested too - what divisions did they apply for? 
I have also heard nothing aside from the automated email, and last updated end February.

I just checked my portal and the date was updated as 16/03/2023 (Thurs) from end of Feb (the day I got my hirevue), but I haven't received anything...

SuperUser001, what's your opinion? Comment below:

IB was my first choice and at this stage I am now expecting a regret. On 1 March the recruiter asked me to email them responses to some 3 questions and I have not heard from them since. Anyone else asked to email responses for IB?

3d 
realestatew, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Yes I did get asked the 3 questions. I didn't get a response from the recruiter until I asked for an update.
