Is This the Week?
Isn’t this the week that banks have to inform both interns and full timers as to whether or not internships and full-time training are going to be in person or not? It’s going to be May 1 this week, which means we’re within 30 to 60 days of having to rent a place in a particular city… They have to let us know this week… right?
Incoming summer associate at an EB. Expecting to hear an answer this week. We recently were told to expect "a full update before the week of May 3rd". (That email was sent to all interns, not just summer associates)
Yeah, I wonder if they’re going to choose one over the other — interns in person, FT training virtual, or other way around.
Following. I've been really annoyed with HR because they first confirmed virtual and are now saying potentially in-person. I just want a final decision please
just a heads up for barclays interns: HR won't tell you if you're in-person or virtual until about 2 weeks after the internship starts
Find some roommates or use June Homes (used them last year) and get a place in the city now. Worst case scenario you are down 6k while having to work out of an overpriced room. Finding a place closer to your start date will be tougher, more expensive, or even unattainable – rent requirements in NYC are no joke.
Additionally, make sure to reach out to your team members. My team is planning to do a bunch of stuff with the interns that are in NYC (bias aside, this will probably give them a leg up – the ones that don't fuck up, that is). The way I see it, moving to NYC during the summer has an unlimited upside and a merely financial downside (6k is nothing compared to the certainty of receiving a return offer).
If everyone is online, things change a bit. But if you have the flexibility to relocate, even if optional, I suggest you do so. Interpersonal interactions, even when limited, can make up for the small mistakes that you will potentially make during your internship.
I work at a well-known EB - the word is we are planning to have interns in person this year.
Is this for London if I may ask?
Nice. Hope it's part of a trend.
Barclays is supposed to be telling FTs about our start "in a few weeks", that was a couple weeks ago, so hopefully this week.
