Did they send all the first round invites out? I haven't heard back yet...
Bump
i received the first round interview, but haven't finished all of them. The first round are two phone calls.
Are you at a US target?
yes
btw I go to a non-target, top 5 LAC
Just wondering is the first round for hk pretty technical? Thanks!
Do you know anyone else that received the invitations? Any idea whether they send at different times depending on school/region?
sorry i didnt hear anyone in my school receive it yet. But i guess resumes not selected would automatically go through the regular recruitment?
I'm doing mine tmr. will come back and update afterwards.
Oh Good luck! Is it going to be phone call with analyst or senior people?
Good luck to you both! Hopefully I get an invitation soon (UK target)
My friend last year said MS HK ibd interviews were super technical...
Oh that's good to know. My first phone call is half half, but there is one coming up with very senior person. I am not sure if its going to be super technical as well. Good luck everyone!
are the technicals basic or more advanced?
Did you received the second round interview?
wait this is so weird. Is your friend native Chinese speaker?
Yeah, born and raised in China, came over to NA for his undergrad, and he still got destroyed lol
omg even in the first round? I do hear ppl saying they are asked to pitch an idea in Chinese.
i asked my first interviewer after the interview, and she said she wasn't sure...
mine said maybe next week.

Did anyone hear back?

Anyone in the U.S. has received the first round phone interview from MS HK IBD? (Cycle 2) (Originally Posted: 09/28/2016)
Anyone in the U.S. has received the first round phone interview from MS HK IBD? (Cycle 2)mind if i ask how long it took you to be interviewed after submitting application? i am from uk and still havent heard back, thanks!
I submitted in August
I study at a UK target too and haven't heard back. I think they are wrapping up the US candidates first
~
Depends on the team - mandarin is not a must have. Plenty of Koreans in the M&A team
Can confirm they are out.
Will more invitations be sent out? For Cycle 2? Will the candidates be considered for Cycle 3 as well?
Is this solely for US recruiting, or has the process commenced for asia-based applicants too?
More interviews will go out. The interviews are just scheduled by the assistants so it's a bit random in dates. There's a deadline by which they have to be done. The final round date is fixed however
Anyone heard back for the superday?
superday on October 2 in MS's NYC office. Anyone going?
got an offer after the superday. They just finished interviewing all US candidates.
