London S&T recruiting 2026
Might be useful to make a thread of where people are in processes going forward, 17/9/25:
Goldman: Applied in Aug, expecting HV's out at the end of the month
MS: HV's out
Citi: Plum test
Deutsche: Online test
JPM: HV
UBS: HV
BOFA: HV
BNP: first rounds out
Nomura: Online test
Hsbc: Job sim
Citadel FIM: Maths test out
Capula: Applied in Aug, no response

For bofa, how did you specify what division you wanted. I don't think I made it explicitly clear in my motivational questions neither did they give us a drop-down menu
Is MS HV out ?
yes
Does networking play a big part for London roles like it does NYC? Also how do return offer rates compare?
From what I gathered London is more HR/CV based and less networking heavy
Return offers genuinely just depend on availability (esp in S+T) and performance. Networking helps to be specific but nowhere near as how relevant networking can be in other countries. In the UK knowing someone high up and trying to pull in favours might work against you (unless ofc the person asking for the favour is your Mum or Dad who is a client)
Doesn't necessarily help for undergrads entering the workforce, but does for postgrads finishing their course end of September. Unless you want to wait for entry following year, networking is your best bet in my opinion.
UBS AC invites are out
When did you get an invitation ?
sa or ft?
Did everyone get a survey for role preference for HSBC post job sim?
I just did
How long after job sim did you get asked?
is this a good sign?
Anyone know why Barclays isn’t opening?
I’m pretty sure Barclays only recruiting S&T NY this summer
Anyone know why Pretty weird for a bb not to recruit at all for a major division, no?
Does MS have HV for S&T SA? Or is it TI? Are they out?
Yes HV out - haven't heard of anyone getting TI yet for S&T SA but please correct if you have
TI out, first stream AC this Wednesday
Anyone's citi application get moved to recruiting review? what does this mean?
Have the same, no clue what it means
Don’t think it means much tbh probably just that you passed test and someone will look at your cv
Got an email this afternoon saying I was selected for GS HV
Are you based in mainland Europe?
Is this for SA in London?
Yes I also just got, UK based for SA
Yeah ficc and equities sa in london
Anyone know much about GS HV like how many questions, can you retake your responses etc ?
Not sure abt number of questions but no retakes
Are there any other threads for S/T in London Summer internships and off-cycles? pls lmk
Anyone else get an email from DB today that they’re application is being reviewed and they’ll hear back soon?
yeah, many ppl got it
Did anyone hear back from BNP after first round?
Did interview about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back since, have u?
i also did an interview abt 2 weeks back, havent head back
I’ve heard people received RBC and Nomura first rounds can anyone confirm
Out for Nomura pretty sure. Not 100% about rbc. Db ac out too apparently
DB AC out for FIC SA?
Yeah did one for RBC
Is it for sa or ft?
I did the rbc s&t telephone interview last wednesday

Does anyone know know what stage Barclays and DB grad roles are at? Anyone been moved forward/rejected?
Some people saying DB has done 1st rounds and ACs are next week. Also Barclays have started 1st rounds too. For me haven’t heard back since both tests idk if other forums are lying tbf
Barclays doesn't have a 1st round; it's straight to AC. Last year, I had one mid/late October.
Has anyone heard back from Citi after Plum?
Nope nothing
Anyone heard from Capula or Balyasny macro/commodities ?
did you?
Are AC or TI out for BoFa or JP?
I went to a campus event for JP markets and they said ac’s out in mid-late October. Idk about bofa
BoFa is currently reviewing HV's. Got rejected a few days ago while others got a holding email
Can confirm just got the holding email
Anyone heard back from Citi after plum?
are the ACs for MS or Goldman out yet?
Did Telephone interview for them on 25th Sept still haven’t heard back yet. Bristol tracker status update seems to be wrong. Still says HV so maybe most are on HV?
maybe, but not sure bristol tracker works on updating very well - still says HV for gic when im p sure the offers are out (saw someone accept theirs)
Barclays still not ended up opening s&t?
heard they filled in all the slots through spring week participants (and allegedly they werent even that great), so wont be opening it up at all
(okay - apparently not true, which is not surprising since it was hearsay)
That’s crazy for Barclays if true. Surely a bad idea to basically restrict your entire sa class to 2nd year home students, just look at Lazard haha
This is false, according to Barclays HR.
anyone know about the process for Citadel FIM? I got invited for a hackerrank today but I belive there was a maths test as well that I didn’t get invited for so don’t know what to make of it
What's the process for GS/MS/JPM full time?
Update on Barclays S&T apps: They just opened for anyone interested
MS offers out
for s&t? mind me asking when they had the AC?
what do you mean offers out? how is it possible so early?
anyone have any news about:
I applied to JPM on the first day and immediately did the HV. No news since then
HSBC hasn't reached out since the job simulation like 3 weeks ago. They only sent a short survey to ask which sector within S/T I'm interested in
BofA no news since applying and doing the HV. Only biweekly emails that confirm my application is still under consideration. Apparently some people already had TIs
Hope this helps
I know some rejections have come out since plum for Citi
For Citi, some people received initial screening emails asking for their degrees info
For Citi I got an email asking for my final mark from high school
edit: it's for Bofa not for citi
So are you cooked if you didn’t get an email ?
RBC ACs out
Did they come out Today?
Anyone else get BofA preference form?
Yea I got one as well. Does everyone get this email?
Anyone heard back after filling out the preference form? I went back to look at the job description and noticed they asked applicants to specify their preferences in question 1 of the application form.
HSBC off cycle offers are out
what firms do we know at the moment have passed the hire vue stage and sent out invites for interviews, telephone interviews, etc.?
you said TIs are out for bofa? SA or Offcycle?
sa
Anyone have any news on DB FICC summers?
Anyone had an update on HSBC internship after job assessment?
Or Bank of America after hirevue ?
And has anyone had any progression after doing Plum for citi?
Barclays S&T after online assessments ?
Standard chartered after hirevue for financial markets ?
Be great to keep up to date with people’s progression or if anyone knows timelines based on last year?
Let me know below.
Best of luck!
Someone in the tracker gc was asking about citi s&t interview
What did they ask?
Are ACs out for UBS Grad?
Has anyone done nomura AC for markets or know anyone that’s done it
Did you get invited to it?
-
Anyone heard from Goldman post HV ? Ac out for ibd it seems
not yet, also applied to AM and ER and havent heard back on those either
Yes, received AC
When did you get the invite?
Received an email today from Bofa asking for my preferences across sales/trading/structuring. Good sign or is it auto?
I did as well, I’m assuming it’s a good sign
Fingers crossed anyway. Seems quite a few got it though, maybe someone who got Bofa ac previously can opine
think they sent it to many ppl - but i heard they alr did TIs? anyone know about that?
You got the form too? I thought Bofa is Hv-ac for s&t no interview between
yup, apparently some people already had TIs last week and two weeks ago
Any news from HSBC since doing the job simulation and sector preference survey 1 month ago?
Also any news from MUFG, Mizuho, Nomura?
-
did you get a hirevue for mizuho?
Anyone done BNP ac?
They’re out now
Have you done the ac? Any tips/ insights
Hi,
Anyone got the AC for GS ? If i did not receive it yet, am i cooked ? HV passed 3 weeks ago

yeah have AC tomorrow
Did anyone do Capital Group on-campus interview and heard back after it?
Has anybody heard back from Santander CIB Global Markets grad programme? I'm not sure when we're expected to be called in for 1st round interviews :,)
these people called me for a first round, then didnt show up, then i emailed them and they didnt even reply. honestly not working for if they cant show up to an interview
Omg when was this?

When did you do the TI?
A week ago
Did anyone hear from BNP grad post OA? Is it a hv and do they auto reject post test
Has anyone heard back from MS after the hirevue?
I had the phone interview a week ago but haven't heard back
Hi, what types of questions did you get in TI?
b, did this week, nothing yet
Had AC three weeks ago
have you heard news re outcome? and any insight into when next batch are - assume they’re running more, if sending out TIs still
Are BofA HV's automatic? And was last year HV -> AC directly or was a TI involved in between
Has anyone heard back from MS after doing the phone interview?
Had AC 3 weeks ago - got it around a week after TI
For S&T?
Hey, what types of questions did you get for TI?
Got rejected
Have anyone received an invite for AC with Bofa or JPM yet?
JPM should be out very soon (if not already), I know someone who did the AC last year at the end of october. Personally havent heard from bofa after the preference form
Do you know if those who received the form will get the AC? Don’t know if it’s selective :,)
not for s&t - but i got ac (spd) for jpm for a different division
Heard they ran ACs this week for IBD, expect that if you got something to hear in the next couple of weeks
