Baird Summer 2020
Hey everyone! So I'm getting ready for a phone interview (prescreen or 1st round maybe?) with Baird for 2020 SA position. From everything I've read on WSO and other forums Baird seems like a great place to start. Anyone else in the 2020 SA interview process? How are the questions/case study this year? Sorry if I'm beating a dead tree...
Applied when opened heard nothing yet. You at a target or applied through OCR or just online?
Non-target and applied online. Whats your app status on website?
Says "Candidate under consideration" I applied through my school's OCR too. Did you do a cover letter?
You will be getting a call soon. Best of luck. And yes, cover letter all day
Oh, I didn’t write a cover letter...just saw the resume drop and then applied online and did the same
Note taken lol
I had a phone screen last week, it was primarily behavioral questions and personal background. I have not heard back since the call, I assume there will be a wait until Superday invitations or denials are released.
Brief update: Had a behavioral and background chat. Spoke for 30 minutes and was told that canidates would here back about Superday. I guess Superday is in April, but didn't ask if it was April '19 or '20.
I really hope you’re kidding about that last sentence
Why?
Do you truly think they would have first rounds in Mar-18 then not have a super day until Apr-19?
Correction: Mar-19 and Apr-20
I mean I know Investment Banks start recruiting early but to have the entire process end an endure year prior to starting?...
*Entire...not endure lol
Dude what rock are you living under lol
Has anybody heard back following the phone screen?
No, not from either office I spoke with. I think it's a bit early still until they hand out next steps.
Just got invited to a second phone screen.
I believe 2nd screens are coming out currently -- I am scheduling one now.
which office did you hear back from?
No specific office yet, just general interviews
When did you have your 1st round? *edit (Disregard, I saw that you had one the week before the 20th of March)
Scheduling my 2nd round for next week. Anyone having theirs today, or having one tomorrow? I imagine this will be a technical interview...but could be wrong.
haven't heard anything back yet...
Maybe send a "touching base email"?
Just had my second phone screen, they said next steps (superday invite) will be shared next week, with superday date in late April
Niiice! How did it go for ya? What questions did they ask you?
Second one was exactly the same as the first! No technical questions, just asked me if I had any prior finance knowledge
For those that had 2 screens, did you preference the other office in the 1st screen? Seems odd that they would run 2 screens and have both be the same behavioral interview unless it was office specific.
When they asked, I told them that I didn't have a preference regarding office location. Just had my second phone screen and can confirm that Baird is REALLY focusing on Culture fit with these phone interviews. Resume run through and why MM, why Baird and why IB.
The two screens aren't for different offices, they're just to make sure you really are a good fit w/ Baird. Superday offers are made based on the notes of the two phone screens + resume etc.
Are all second phone screens out? If superday invites are coming out next week, is it safe to say no invite to a second screen by now is a ding?
Anyone hear back on the superday yet?
Radio silence on my end, any updates from others?
Heard decisions would be released halfway through this week from my last phone screen
Nothing at all so far. Hopefully some time soon!!!
Have heard nothing as well and never had a second screen but didn't speak with general Milwaukee office...
Did anyone get anything today...reject or superday?
just silence
Nothing yet, hopefully tomorrow!
Just got the Super Day invite!
Was that for Chicago or Milwaukee office? Haven't heard anything yet :(
x
Yes. I called Baird Travel, and the individual on the other end hooked it up in a matter of minutes. Flying out tonight and arriving around midnight so I won't make the dinner, unfortunately.
Milwaukee office...and yes, I believe we are expected to fly out today. Just booked my flight and Hotel reservation!
Huh, I only interviewed w Chicago associates, so would that mean there's a separate Chicago superday?
Not sure. I interviewed with both offices and when asked I didn't have a preference. Have you sent any emails? Communicate with your interviewers and touch base with them even if its to see where you can improve. Who knows, this could just be an early super day, they could have one later on after summer 2019 but I truly don't know. Keep the head held high though. You got this far...
I only interviewed with the specific offices as well and got nothing. Applied through campus recruiting portal. Have no idea what's going on, emailed the interviewer week back and got nothing...
dinged
Anyone get an invite to a Chicago superday?
Just heard from my interviewer that Chicago superday decisions haven't been finalized yet
Do you know when they are?
No clue but I'll lyk
Friend of mine got an offer from Baird after going to the last minute superday two days ago
What school did you friend go to
Non-target
Are Superday decisions out?
Do you guys know if the superdays were the only ones happening? I applied a few days ago and want to know if it is worth following up with contacts or bail.
Chicago superday is still coming up but I'm not sure if they are still doing first rounds
First Chicago superday happened last Friday and last (I believe) is this Friday
Forget it.
I applied to IB yesterday and got the rejection today.
Was that for the DC position?
Probably because you applied too late. I had my first round w/ DC yesterday
I have mine with DC today. Any tips on Q's they asked?
Has anyone heard back from the Chicago office?
Not from the Superday
Offers for Milwaukee office have been handed out and accepted to my knowledge ;)
Just heard about superday on 4/25
Nah I heard last Thursday that they were still reviewing and that they had had some issues on their end
What'd you hear?
Has anyone checked in with the Chicago office? Last thing I heard they were still considering candidates but that was last Thursday
Chicago offers went out yesterday
Anyone hear about super day invites for DC? Haven't heard back for 2 weeks
Baird DC superday is on May 30, invites went out today
Yeah those beaners gave me my 22nd rejection
