Get a life dude. You've been commenting this on every single thread
Are you non-core?
got mine yesterday too
EVR (diversity), PWP, LAZ (SF), GH, HL all began first rounds. PJT, MoCo to start within next week and a half. Centerview mid-September
How do you apply to HL NY? There's no application on the website.
Don't think HL has started. I go to a target for HL + had 2-3 resume forwarded by multiple alumni and haven't heard anything. Last time I talked to HR they said mid to late August for apps.
Can confirm that HL RX's LA office had first rounds a week ago
is MoCo start for everyone or just core schools?
comment revoked
For PJT, is it M&A or RX and if RX, are they interviewing only Harvard and Wharton kids or everyone? Heard Harvard and Wharton kids get interviewed first and then the rest get interviewed later
Appreciate the updates for PJT/Centerview -- going a bit further, do you know what's the process for Centerview? I had a phone screen but not sure what the broader timeline looks like, my screener said one of their bankers would reach out within a week for another phone screen, but no more info other than that
Had a phone screen for one of Centerviews west coast offices, told they're still trying to figure out what the process is going to look like. Was yours for NY?
Evercore, Lazard and Moelis is done. (atleast for NYC)
Evercore opened apps last week???
Not true at all
Has anyone heard back from Evercore diversity superdays?
I go to a top target Undergrad B-School in the South and I have a superday Monday for EVR diversity SA. Not sure if they are done giving out Superdays, if you haven't heard back maybe you are still being considered. However, I do know a few kids that also heard back.
When did you hear back?
Did you get the notification today? Had my phone interview yesterday
Just made an account and can't send PM's yet. You generally need an offer in hand and during the two week period in which you have to decide, you can reach out to close personal contacts asking to be considered. I will say that you have to be super careful, because if it's something that isn't impressive you may blow your chance with the bank as they'll be like what is this shit.
this is highly dependent on wat school you attend. for my school, most of these banks have a set interview date on campus
Had a Guggenheim superday today
Are you core / noncore?
Two of these are not "elite" by literally any metric (deal flow/size/revenue/rankings)?
Guggenheim and Jefferies? Or perhaps HL
Boutique rankings are 1- LAZ, Evercore, Moelis , PJT 2- PWP,CENTERVIEW, Greenhill 3- HOULIHAN, Jefferies SHIT- Guggenheim
take my word for it
Does HR ever give a first round interview invite via phone? I'm not in the US right now so obviously my US number won't work. I figured that they only give first rounds through email.
Anyone hear back for first rounds from Lazard, Moelis, or Greenhill (non-target)?
i don't go to a non-target, I go to an undergrad b-school in the south (think Ross, Stern, McIntire). I had a first round with Greenhill I accelerated using another offer. I think they had a super low-key early deadline at my school for accelerated.
Do you think the normal Greenhill process hasn't started yet?
Does anyone have an idea of the incoming class sizes for these EB's? So far I've heard GHL is 16 and Moelis is anywhere from 25-30. Wondering what the numbers will roughly be for Lazard, PWP, and Evercore. (For the NYC location)
PWP is 15 in NY, EVR about 30-35 in NY (from my understanding)
Have you hear back from EVR?
Heard Gugg will be larger, something like ~40, but not sure yet.
Anyone hear from Qatalyst?
Yes, first round interviews currently happening
A couple of people (myself included) in my school applied mid to late July, I think they're rolling -- no idea what the timeline is after 1st round (they got back to us after the resume drop within a week for first round scheduling)
Waiting on third round interview to be scheduled. Friend told me that superday was planned for Aug 15, not sure if they pushed it back.
first superday was yesterday
any insight on laz?
Still waiting to hear back from them as well.
Superdays for Laz early are tomorrow and next Friday, at least for the Chicago office. I think theres a NY superday next Friday as well?
bumpp
What's the timeline looking like for PWP NYC?
Couple offers given out already.
superday for targets around early october
do you know how long they usually take to get back after 1st rounds?
Is Evercore even open? The website only mentions diversity programs...
They're coming to my campus for an information session at the end of September but it seems weird that I could not apply before then.
Open mid September I believe for targets
If my university is not a traditional 'target' but has an information session with Evercore (no resume drop though), what does that imply? The fact that they'd come to campus must mean they're interested, but it's weird that they wouldn't have a school-specific application center.
Update from a Target: Roughly half the banks have announced closed lists for OCR as of today; the other half will finish by next Friday.
Applied through OCR to HL and Macquarie Capital. Applied a while back to Moelis but never heard back. Probably not getting that, I'm guessing. Heard a few people were being grilled during Qatalyst interviews.
Is Jefferies done recruiting for their IB Summer Analyst Program?
Nope at least not for OCR
Status of HL NYC?
Any word on PJT's timeline? Also tried to reach out about Rothschild and haven't heard back, not sure when they really start their interviews.
PJT RX is done, I think PJT M&A has had superdays already but not sure if they're done.
Rothschild has already given out many offers to kids at my school.
East coast target?
can confirm that PJT has wrapped up both M&A and RSSG
I got a rejection email from Rothschild this week
My bad if this question is really foolish, but Rothschild does not recruit from my school and I am just wondering if the recruitment process for their program is high touch or low touch? Don't want to pester people unless necessary
