glad you included all the accents man. attention to detail at its finest right there
Just want to say if you're doing IB at Soc Gen, the only group with solid deal flow and exit opps is Lev Finance. They were doing really well in the MM space. For everything else, they're not doing that great.. However, you're still getting paid generously, working decent hours, and have 30 vacation days as an analyst.
Getting paid generously as the same compared to the street?
Base is street, bonus will be not be that bad but lower compared to BB bonuses. At least you'll have work life balance.
By the way, this is objectively not true. Their top group is Natural Resources and are consistently at the top of the league tables for project finance.
Anyone know when they open London up?
Does anyone know if SocGen has West Coast presence? It seems like they have a pretty decent sized shop in New York.
There’s an office in Chicago idk about West Coast.
when do apps open?
Any info about their S&T group? How does it compare to other banks?
Anybody know any info about project finance teams? Are they across the pond?
When do apps open????
I heard they open in August
isn't this like john deere? you gonna dcf a combine harvester?
Anybody know about the process for NY?
bump
They came onto campus in October last year at my target, seems like it's going to be late this year as well.
Anyone know if S&T apps are out? or if they even have a S&T program
required gpa?
Was given this by the HR.
The Summer Analyst Program general timeline is as follows:
Ø End of July: 2021 Summer Analyst Application opens.
Ø Early October: 2021 Summer Analyst Application closes.
Ø Early – Mid October: First round phone interviews begin.
Ø Mid – Late October: Superday’s: in-person/virtual interviews in a speed networking format. Each candidate typically has 3 interviews.
Ø Early June 2021: 2021 Summer Analyst Program begins.
Protect this man at all costs. This is so helpful thank you
Can confirm an analyst said this to me in Apr
After submission, confirmation email says if you don't hear back in 3 weeks, to assume you've been dinged? does this apply to us?
Anyone know how many apps we can submit?? max 1?
I applied to 2 and it went through fine i think
has anyone heard anything from them?
nope
Applied in summer but just got an email saying my application is under review.
i just got that email sent to my inbox today too...i guess it's a sign that interview invites may be extended soon
This the email regarding the changes to their system? Not sure what to make of it--maybe those who did not dinged got the email?
Any updates?
nope
Have a friend in the LevFin team in London, happy to answer any questions
from nyc- question i have is whats soc gen most known for and how is their structure in terms in industry groups
PM me
Anyone know if "under consideration" is promising at all?
Just got a second email re emphasizing that my application is under review (received the first one October 9)
same
does this mean anything or nah
same here as well...it looks like the same email verbatim
I didn't get another email, I wonder if that means I got dinged :/
i got an email saying they are revewing it
Same. Got the first email but not the second one
any new updates?
None for me
Nope
reached out to an analyst and seems like HR is just really really slow with the application reviews...hopefully, they reach out by the end of this month.
following
received first round inv today, super days will be nov 4th (said in the email).
Did your app move from "under consideration" to "processing" or did you get a second email a couple of days ago about them reviewing your application?
they sent an email about them reviewing, and the app said "under consideration" and checked couple days after "processing" an week and two later got inv
no one i know who applied has heard back yet. I guess they might be sending invites throughout this week.
Do you know anyone who heard back?
seems like one guy in this thread was invited to interview and his application changed to "processing"
For everyone, it still says "Under Consideration" right?
Has anyone else been contacted about interviews? My app still says "Application Received"
i have, and apps now say " processing"
Sophomore here, can confirm Prospect in IB-M&A up above. Was also notified of screening calls being next 2 weeks and final round being 11/4
yup, just curios i thought the internship was for juniors
Saw in an older forum post (~2013) that they took sophs. Decided to throw my hat in the ring not knowing if that still holds true (ended up getting to screening round so maybe?)
anyone else hear back?
have not heard a thing back and I networked extensively with the bank.
4 people at my school got a 1st round (non target)
Under Consideration. My contact says they are still giving out first rounds.
Under Consideration. My contact says they are still giving out first rounds.
nov 4 is when superdays are happening
Does that mean first round interviews were already held, and people are getting invited in Nov 4?
I applied Oct 14. I have been networking with alum and getting vouched for, but my question is did I submit the application before the deadline?
i think deadline was earlier, can you PM me, I will pm you
PM me. I am not sure how to private message anyone. I am still new to this forum.
Hi. The deadline was October 7th.
You think i’m screwed?
I got an invite for a 1st round phone interview today. I go to a southern target (Duke/Vandy/UVA) and did not network that much with the firm. Had to decline the invite because I've already accepted another SA offer
help me answer why sg :)
great culture, lean deal teams, strong analyst experience, and professional development opportunities for juniors.
Does SG have multiple waves or just single?
Got an invite for the first round on Monday and scheduled for this Friday. I hope to make it to Superday
got it keep us updated had my first round today
how was the first round?
behavioral, some markets, basic technical
My first round happened this morning. Does anyone know when we gonna hear back from SocGen for the Superday?

Anyone receive superday for Division of Finance Summer Analyst Program, just got email about it today
I had my phone interview last week but no follow-up as of now
I just had my superday for Division of Finance Summer Analyst Program this morning. Was a pretty difficult interview with technical questions that made zero sense. Thought they were brain teasers but apparently they were looking for specific answers. Regardless, other interviewers were pretty lax and fit questions weren't too difficult. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything back.
Really what type of techs. It was all behavioral for me and was not difficult at all
I heard back about a DFIN offer on Friday
