What's the GS/MS/JPM lateral process
I'm currently preparing for group-specific lateral interviews with a top BB (GS/MS/JPM). How long does the typical process take from interviewing to getting an offer? Will there be a superday just like SA and FT recruiting? Will the interviews be conducted over Zoom or in-person?
Just did a laterals 2 months ago, my experience may be different to yours, differs greatly across teams, its more FT imo:
JP: submit CV - 20 days - Interview 1 - 1.5 weeks - Interview 2 - 2 days - Interview 3 - next day - "Superday" - Next day - Interview 4- next day - Offer, total days: around a month and a half
JP another position: Submit CV - 4 days - Interview 1 - 1 week - Rejected
GS: submit CV - 30 days - Phone Interview 1 - 3 days - Interview 2 - 2 weeks - Interview 3 - next day - "Case study" - 3 weeks - Interview 4 - 1 week - Offer
GS: submit CV - 15 days - Interview 1 - 2 days - Phone interview 2 - 3 days - Rejected
Didn't apply to MS
Edit: all were virtual, as I lived in a different city.
very helpful! Thank you
Modeling test or case study at any parts of the process? Also, I'm assuming interviews were mix of heavy technicals, deal experience and behavioral?
OP: Most of the interviews were Behavioural, light technicals, light deal experience, case study/superday no modelling test, but heavy technicals.
When you were rejected, did they tell you?
Applied to JPM.
Submit resume: 30 days - Interviews 1 - 5 took place over the following week or so before getting the offer. Was mainly behavior. Friends had similar experiences except if you weren't told someone else was going to reach out soon, you weren't moving on. All virtual (zooms)
Did you interview with more senior bankes (VP, ED, MD) or junior (Analysts/Associates)?
I interviewed for a specific subsector and the entire team interviewed me (analysts-group head)
Did you do any networking?

May I ask what the nature of the case study was? I have not gone through a lateral process yet but I am about to, at MS Tech group. Thank you!
