Did you get the pre recorded interview ?
Yeah, did you? When did you apply?
I applied right when they opened. Did you do the interview yet?
Bump
Has anyone done the Hirevue? Are they really just trying to get to know you?
Anyone get a group preference email?
I haven’t. Have you?
Nope.
I got one from someone in campus recruiting yesterday because apparently I had been selected to have a superday for multiple teams, but you are only allowed to do it with one group.
Bump - anyone hear back after doing the pre-recorded interview?
No. Most roles will close at the end of Sep so probably by then.
Anyone - is SMBC your last hope for this recruiting cycle? Be honest
Have an offer from a BB in their S&T but I wanna do IBD.
Probs
When did y’all apply? Like did you apply back in august and just hear back now. Is process rolling basis?
I applied about a week ago. Not sure if the process is on a rolling basis. But the Analyst program is.
Anyone get invited to do the prerecorded video and hear back?
Got the invite, have yet to record. Just take it day by day man.
Good luck buddy!
Are Superdays virtual?
I heard they are virtual. I got an email to provide them with my personal info. But not about choosing survive line.
When did you get the email?
I did not attend any events, applied to a few diff roles, got the form as well a day or two later to submit my info
3.0 GPA here at a non target, got the follow up email to provide “contact info” as mentioned already, for those with the same email as me, given my stats it prolly doesn’t mean much as others are getting virtual 1 way interviews
Yeah I think everyone got it that was in there database. I don’t think it means anything. They probably just want to update there data base with graduation dates and GPA. Did you get the pre-recorded interview yet?
Hey, I didn’t get anything else.
Did anyone get technical questions in their first round?
received an email saying “thx for completing our Pre-Recorded Video Interivew. Our team is currently in the process of reviewing your submission and will reach out when a decision has been reached”
Yo were they technical or behavioral like walk me thru your cv and why smbc division

Yo were they technical or behavioral like walk me thru your cv and why smbc division
What variation (Technical/Behavioral) of Qs were asked during the pre-recorded video round?
Bump
Last year the video interview asked questions including, Why SMBC? Why are you the best candidate for the role? What are your strengths and how will you best utilize them for this internship?
Those were the exact questions
Does anyone have any updates on their application? All I got was an email confirming my pre-recorded video was received.
I didn't even get an email saying my video was received 0_o
Did anyone hear back from the Resume Workshop?
First rounds out yet? It’s been about 2 weeks since I submitted Hirevue.
Haven’t heard anything yet but I don’t think there is a first round just a super day. The hirevue acts as a first round
I got a superday invite this afternoon. The first round interview was the pre-recorded video.
I got Fund Finance spd. Just curious what group you have
Anyone get superday for coverage?
Also has anyone gotten multiple emails saying they’ve received my video submission? I’m guessing this is bc I applied to multiple groups?
Same, but haven’t received superday invite. Guessing didn’t make the cut
Can anyone offer any insight if this is the case?
I think all the superdays that went out are from the applications that closed sep 17th…next window was sep 24th so maybe thats why but dont know
has anyone gotten a spd for banking&capital markets?
Offers are starting to come out
I heard some SD offers came out yesterday. Are offers for all groups out?
What groups?
Has anyone heard from LevFin or the Coverage group?
Nope
How much time after the HireVue did you receive a SPD request? I received a confirmation on Thursday, but no follow-up from SMBC which is quite disappointing.
I got the superday invite a bit more than a week after I sent in my video interview.
Good luck this week everyone
Just curious if it’s possible to get multiple Superday
I don't think so. I had to choose between a few groups and was told I could only have a superday for one.
I applied to sponsors, coverage and lev fin and haven’t heard about a SPD. Did anyone else get something from those groups?
I applied to sponsors coverage and lev fin and haven’t heard about a SPD. Did anyone else get something from those groups?

What group?
Is it rip if I haven't gotten spd invite still? Lev fin and banking & capital markets.
I don’t know if B&CM has sent out SD invites yet. I know LevFin and Coverage have though.
Can confirm LevFin sent out SPDs.. Have completed several segments
Finished my SPD - whats the turnaround guys?
How was it? Technical heavy? Behavioral heavy?
Combination of both; I found all of the questions to be rather straightforward, but was well-prepared since this is one of the last IB processes.
Could be different from group to group, but I heard back with an offer two days after my superday
which group?
Anyone heard anything for FT?
Full time superdays are done after the intern superdays, expect maybe later in the month but more likely November. Source: work there
..
No hbu
So if I haven’t heard from coverage, am I out?
Did u have suprday?
Nope, just did video interview
Summer analyst program? If yes I'm also just through the video interview haha
Does anyone know how many FT analyst SMBC is hiring for each team? Feel like it is way harder to get FT than SA.
