They have to send back their SB with interest & they write letter of recs. Know someone who was an incoming
an intern?
Bruh...with interest????? Hate that. 20 year old broke college kids shouldn't have to bite the bullet for SVB's lack of discipline.
Edit: Whoops, the joke went over my head. Hope SVB hedged against interest rate risk on those Revocable Sign-On Bonus receivables (;
That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read. Asking for signing bonus back is whatever. But interest? For something that was 100% their fault?
This is a joke. Compensation is compensation. Granted since it might be contingent on actually starting full time then I actually have no clue. But doubt
Current incoming analyst at SVB (for now) and this is false
I was messing around dude they wouldn’t ask for interest
Time to start applying for internships…
They’ll have to find a new internship/job, good luck mate
Just sit tight, you guys will get auctioned off in the bankruptcy.
No credits to give silver banana, but got to say HA!
.
The worst thing you can do right now is reach out to anyone but HR. Just have to sit tight and interview other places for now. This could be for the better or worse.
But if you email an MD or VP, will look real bad.
Can you elaborate on why I can't reach out to anyone else? I've already messaged a few bankers (not MDs) I have relationships with there.
Yikes, these dudes just lost their bonus, career projectory in a bad economy. Many of them probably were tied up to firms close to SVB and know that whole segment is dead.
Just hope they auto deleted your email.
You seriously think the CEO sat down last night as Peter Thiels firms are calling one by one to withdraw all their funds. Said forget all that lets focus on the intern class.
You hope that David salmon buys you and give you a private DJ concert
Time to band together and create a UCC for the BK lads lmao
any incoming interns, full timers.....there IS NO FIRM anymore.
they probably wont even contact you to let you know. Assume the role is gone at the moment.
What haooens here? The bank stops operating right? Can the MDs leave to other shops, or does their contract mean they have to stay put even in this kind of situation? Obviously they can’t win deals right now
It has stopped operating.
SVB really doesnt exist anymore. its now " DEPOSIT INSURANCE NATIONAL BANK OF SANTA CLARA" (the FDIC entity just formed that now controls all deposits)
I dont think SVB can even pay their own employees right now at the IB arm
Just ridiculous. Some crappy over-levered bank fails and the markets tank. Traders looking for an excuse to panic.
Your incoming internship will be at FDIC.
Definitely start applying again, like ASAP.
the bank will declare bankruptcy and any deposits over $250,000 will not be paid.
