bump, any news?
How does the interview process work? Do they automatically place you with the country coverage team if you're Italian, Spanish, Greek, etc., or do they assign you to industry groups for interviews based on your CV and industry exposure? or its completely random?
No dude you have to pick your desired internship, with its specified location, and your application is considered there. I think they give you the choice of 3 max internship & 3 max full time applications.
Got a friend who is doing off cycle in GCM. His process was: online assessment > hv > HR interview > technical/behavioural interview (more technical if you have experience) > AC
Ive heard the ACs are held in October, November and December
is the process the same for ibd? also, do you need to redo the tests for gcm if you've already done them for ibd?
also how is the ac? just several rounds of interviews or models, case studies etc..?
i have a TI coming up for GCM, assuming that is the HR interview then? no mention on the email
I got rejected a few days after the online assessment :(
Good luck to the rest of you
Were you US or UK?
UK
I got HV last week. Haven’t heard back since
HireVue? Interesting - I got max ratings on all 3 tests but no HV as yet
for ibd or gcm
IBD
Yo bro do you mind briefly sharing ur profile
Check PM
Hey can I PM as well
Any updates?
Unfortunately nothing since taking the online assessment last week. Hopefully they'll let us know by the end of this week.
Hi, what was your SJT result if you remember? When did you completed OA
Anyone got a invite to book a timeslot on application centre?
I heard people choosing their timeslots on the apps centre but there is no official HR confirmations on anything (time, interviewer etc)
IBD or GCM?
ibd OC offers out.
Ldn?
Damn that was quick. Can you pm me
Damn that was quick. Can you pm me
Damn - applied basically as soon as it came out, got seemingly the best test scores possible, have M&A deal experience, went to a semi target/target but no interview - tough market
jk bro lmao offers not out, not sure if 1st rounds are even out
brother you have the same profile along with 1000 more candidates, and for some reason off-cycle sweet spot is 30yo from EU doing 3yr master degrees and have 7 off-cycles (hate these mfkrs)
Hi, what about the OC GCM thanks!
if I took IBD OC tests do I need to retake them for the GCM Off-Cycle 2025 program, or the results can be transferred?
Any test you've taken for the past 6 months will be transferred
Bump
any news?
Status on portal changed from (will be in touch in due course) to (currently under review)
where does it say that
When you login on application center. Click on the status of the application you applied.
It must be written - thank you for completing the assessment. Your application will be reviewed on due course or Your application is currently under review.
Any updates?
anyone with interviews??
interviews have been out for at least a week now
to those who interviewed, was your interview assigned with a specific industry group or a generalist pool?
any updates? heard nothing upon completing the tests
Anyone with an update? I've heard many guys from GCM got their AC already booked next week but nothing in IB. Anyone?
Any updates on this?
Still waiting. Does it usually take this long?
what groups interview you for ibd oc? is it random or you are assigned to industry groups?
Hello. Have the ACs started? I had my last interview almost a week ago, no positive or negative email since then.
Is this recruitment process for IBD or GCM? if IBD, how are candidates selected for interviews in the first rounds, are they chosen by specific teams (e.g., tech, healthcare, etc.), or do interviews occur with random teams within IBD, with industry placements decided only after an offer is made.
Have the AC started? Any news?
I did the TI last week, any ideas if there is another TI after this or if its straight to AC? I have heard a bunch of different things.
Any updates?
Commenting to stay updated. TI last week and still haven’t heard back
Any news?
Any updates?
Is the AC in-person or online?
Invites out?
Any news?
I was told the process would take a couple of weeks. Still waiting...
Did hr say so?
Did you talk to hr?
No, just interviewer
Talked with both summer & off-cycle people and apparently nobody has heard back so far
what stage were you at?
First TI
The off-cycle people likely got dinged then, because I received an offer a couple weeks ago
seems weird as they had TIs up until last week afaik
Do you get a mail when you get dinged or do they just ghost you after TI?
Any updates? What is going on?
I’m also really curious about what’s going on. Apparently, there hasn’t been an assessment center yet, even though we’re already in mid-November. It’s quite strange if that’s the case.
Thats crazy, is that Info confirmed? Would be very strange, but sitting in the same boat bumb
How many places are there in IB?
Any updates?
No updates on my side. I find it weird.
I asked directly and they said they are still reviewing applications
Hr?
yeah
Any updates after 1st round? I noticed my application status changed to 'thank you for submitting your application' from 'thank you for submitting your video interview'. Anyone have the same?
start looking for flats in Canary Wharf
@finlander, did u already had the AC?
Any updates?
how's the ac?
any invites for ac this Friday?
Was there an invite sent out?
Not to me, just heard on similar threads that ac's are taking place every other friday
