did everyone get hirevue for J.P. Morgan - applied pretty soon after it opened and didn't get one yet. should I reach out to my contact at the firm or wait it out? thanks
took a while for me to get i’d wait a day or two
ok - thanks. just stressed because I know people on here & at my school who already got it...
Can you DM me?
Did u network with Jpm?
Hi wanted to ask you for the JPM app, there’s like 3 applications that look very familiar on the website. Do you know which one it is?
All apps out this month you reckon?
Are you international
Did everyone get jp Morgan hirevues this year? Applied early yesterday; from a target with high gpa and did not get. Not sure how to proceed - will they send more out or are my JPM dreams dead?
i think the algorithm takes a bit. I know ppl that got it in 5 minutes and others that it took a day for. Wouldn’t worry if you’re at a target with a high gpa
did you end up getting the hirevue bro?
does kkr sponsor?
dont think so, wouldnt hurt to apply anyways
Anyone done their JPM HireVue yet? Dm me
dm i did it
Hey how was your JPM hirevue? what questions were you asked?
hey you did the jpm hirevue right?
how was the hirevue?
How was it for anyone who did it already
Absolutely no one. That one dumbass in the comments:
DiD yOu nETwork wItH jPm?
whats the issue mate
just the number of times you spammed it to the same people. not that deep tho lmao just a funny ass thing to see someone do. To answer your question no, no I didn't.
Made me chuckle well done mate
Did you network with JPM?
Quick question: anyone network with JPM?
heard Moelis opened (in 2025), is this true? couldn’t find it online
only opened for Houston for SA 2025
Houston Office
NYC is also open

for jpm, i have a 3.5 from a semi targetish, chances to gwt hirevue?
Rejected with no hirevue 3 days after submission? Anyone else?
JPM?
What was ur gpa
What ur gpa? Target? International?
have you got your hirevue now or still not yet?
Auto-rejected JPM. East coast semi-target, 4.0 GPA. I definitely fucked up the application smh
JPM doesn’t sponsor right? I got auto rejected and have a 3.9 GPA from a german university though.
I'm intl and got one
What did you answer to the questions „are you authorised to work in the US“ and „will you require sponsorship to work in the US“?
Non Target, 3.8 GPA, international Division1 student - athlete, got JPM hirevue same day of application. Also wrote that I can work under CPT/OPT
Do you know which ones sponsor? i saw a thread but it was for full-time

Is the UBS HireVue automatic after completing the tests? Or is it an actual next step?
Did UBS release SA applications?
Yes
Where’s the link?
wld it be fine to apply to JPM tomorrow?
What would change between today and tomorrow
Yes, it would be okay
Anyone complete markets HV?
interested in this
Bump
Anyone done the Suited online assessment yet? Need to do it for HL and looking for some guidance - thanks.
It’s super easy just do it and don’t overthink
Actually? Have you done it? From what I saw from others online, it was supposedly quite difficult.
What types of questions were there? - any help appreciated, thanks.
Is this for M&A or RX?
Both it’s the same lmfao
When did HL send out the assessments? Wtf?
I also did not get anything and have strong referrals
Applied earlier today and got one pretty instantly
it’s a behavioural test first and then a cognitive test ( think sequence, spotting mistakes in data, which date entries are similar). good luck! i found it challenging since i went in blind but hopefully this helps u
Can someone send ubs app link
I don't see UBS 2025 app link either

anyone know about sophomore summer analyst 2025 dropping too? does it drop in line with the regular summer analyst 2025?
Nah will open closer to summer and start of next school year
ty
Is there a different application for sophomore summer?
Isn’t it the same application for all?
usually btw march and dec aka march-dec 2024 for summer 2025
following
Wow how much earlier could they go? I didn’t even graduate that long ago and it’s gone from summer to spring and now winter recruiting lol. And I know it used to be solidly during junior year at some point.
it’ll go back to being standardized once they start only hiring shitty candidates because it’s too early for a critical mass of thoughtful people to have decided on banking as a career. We’re getting to that timeline, which i believe will be freshman summer. At that time, the talent pool is either really strong (people who have been studying for this stuff since high school) or really weak (everyone else). To fix this, we will likely go back to the old style of OCR and superdays, where it’s a standard timeline

Just curious does HL sponsor for OPT/CPT with stem extension?

Only RX
Anyone know from their contacts when RBC expected to roll out interviews. I’m yet to trouble my contact as the year has just started
"Soon"
Did any of your status on RBC change from “Application Received” to “Under Review?.” I know from the recruiters that’s when you know that the application has been picked up for initial screening
it was like mid feb last year
Anyone done JPM HV?
Yeah just did , PM me
what questions did they ask
Okay since I got like 45 messages and got accused of gatekeeping lmaoooo, I got asked three questions 1) Team work and 2 valuations technicals (pretty basic). Hope this helps
Ares, KKR, Blackstone all open
Don’t see blackstone
it's on a different workdays site for some reason try this
can we apply to multiple positions at Blackstone / ares? or just one
multiple

How fucked am I for 2025 recruiting?
Non-target undergrad and currently in non-target MSF
‘22 - F500 analyst internship
‘23 - graduated undergrad with no offers
‘24 - no interviews yet
Any advice?
doubt they are accepting msf students for most positions
Only 1 internship while you’re in your 5th year of college won’t sit well in this industry
Getting a SA might not be as feasible given firms are pretty particular about their candidate profile.
But, don't let that deter you. You can always manage to get an off cycle internship or even full time. Be very prepared (technicals, stock pitch, market news), respectful, and cast a wide net. Network more and consistently instead of timing cycles.
I managed to secure a referral from a CEO/President of an EB while in MSF with a prior engineering undergrad, and no experience in finance. All depends on your effort, your preparation, and how you present yourself.
Hi could you please PM me?
Thanks.
Totally fucked
Did anyone else have a difficult time on the Suited assessment? I did not feel too strongly about the essential competencies section.
yeah essential competencies was pretty difficult tbh - good thing is that you aren't expected to come close to finishing though
Did PWP close apps for good or is it temporarily closed?
App was only open for 5 or so hours. Assuming it will be up again soon
says it opens jan 8… as in yesterday so would check again in the next few days
is ares opening up LA office positions later??
PE is LA only and open now
Does someone have a tentative date for Lazard release
Bump
Jan 8th
I'm pretty sure they're opened already no?
It’s out
Is JPM sponsoring international students this year?
If yes, are there any locations that are international friendly?
Thanks.
they sponsor opt/cpt with stem, no H1B
Would it be okay to apply to JPM on the 10th? I'm overseas until then 😭
