Accepted an offer for WF NY IBD for Summer 2025. Does anyone have any insights into the group placement process and how to do well to get the group you want and are most interested in?
Hearing the process is different this year as they gave out offers specifically for a city, so that won't be something to worry about during placement.

Formerly with Wells - Be proactive and network with the Associates / Analysts (in order of importance) for the groups you're interested in. In the end, you will rank your top groups, each group will rank the interns, and then it's up to the staffers to allocate. Good luck
do you happen to know when group placement typically takes place (general timeline/month)?
Also an incoming NYC '25 intern. Do you have any insights on when we will hear anything from HR or hear anything in general in regards to group placement?
Haven't heard a single thing since I accepted the offer.
I have not heard anything either
I did a WF summer in 2022. Definitely network. The group I landed in was smaller and I talked with 50%+ of Analysts-VPs.
When do you think would be a good time to start networking? They said group placement is in “the fall.” Thanks
