London SA 2023 Timeline

Does anyone know when we can expect summer analyst applications to pop up for London? Do some firms ever recruit around the spring?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Not important at all but important for firms like CVP/PJT. Big EBs and BBs; it won't help you land things.

 

That's for the US. The UK has very structured online recruiting with tests, hirevues etc. It doesn't really help move the needle at most places. Again, in the US, its different.

 

When people say network what do they mean? Get a refferal 100% after contacting one Vicepresident or something? People use the term so vague

 

Point72 opened a little while ago but can confirm they've given out a few London offers already. I think they tend to do about 5 and they've given at least 3-4 so far. They said they want their program to be hybrid with interns around the world flying over to NYC for a portion of the summer.

 

The only tests they've sent thus far are pymetrics which are fairly simple. i don't know about the interviews though

 

GS and JP should open on Friday, do you think there is any actual advantage to applying as soon as applications open? (read in some forums that for IBD GS last year made first offers end of July, is this true?)

 

Is it for London? On the website, it is shown that EMEA is closed still but US/APAC is open. If you found otherwise that London is open, can you please specify the source?

 

Got invited to a first-round interview for infra. As far as I'm aware it is a typical rejection email or an invitation after pymetrics.

 

have you done pymetrics video interview? or did u get first round straight after the games?

 

Has anyone else gotten the pymetrics interview for BX SA? I applied 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back after the pymetric games.

 

Blackstone have given out interviews, Point72 has given some offers. Thats private equity and hedge funds though, banks haven't given out interviews/offers outside of spring converts.

 

Anyone heard back from Blackstone after pymetrics games for PE/RE teams?

 

Hey Emixolinof, I am recruiting for Blackstone and got an email for a GMAT and CF test for BX? Can you please maybe PM or share your experience with it and how to prep? Thank you so much!

 

Got 3A* but I don't currently attend a UK/EU uni. Do you recommend listing the A-level results at the expense of one work experience in my resume?

 

Anyone applied to the Jefferies IB off-cycles in London out of interest? They keep posting Sept start ones but I never hear back after assessment tests (appreciate this is slightly off-topic)

 

Which firms (apart from BofA) hold ACs on weekends, or in January (apart from Barclays and JPM)? Doing an off-cycle at a European bank until christmas, but still want to recruit for SA. Gathered info on BofA, Barclays and JPM from last year's thread, so might not be relevant for this year anyway

 

Does JPM really take that long? When have the other banks assesments? Heard that some have already sent out interviews but have not received one yet. Bit scarred not gonna lie

 

Anybody knows the status of BX Strategic Partners and if they started interviewing yet? I applied and got the Pymetrics games and interview (couple of days later), but so far no update.

 

Replying to my self - got a first round today for anybody that is interested.

Went through last year's thread. Posting some of the info I found below. In general, it seems that most banks open up in late August/early September. However, a bunch of banks that opened at the beginning of August last year have not done so this year (MS, JPM, and RBC)

GS: Post on August 17 claiming that Hirevues are out

JPM: Seems to have opened on August 1. Several posts on August 4 confirming Hirevue

MS: Several posts on August 9 from people who have done the Hirevue, AC out on September 10

BoA: Unclear when opened, but people asking about Hirevue's on September 1

Citi: People completed tests on September 7

UBS: September 1

DB: People completed tests on September 9

BNP: Seems that people applied around September 1

RTH: Seems to have opened around September 1

EVR: Opened on August 23

PWP: Post stating that applications are open on August 20

Moelis: People did tests on September 3

HSBC: Post stating that applications are open on August 19

RBC: Applications opened on August 4 or earlier

HL: Open on August 31

Greenhill: Open on September 6

Macquarie: Open on September 1
