Was wondering as well.. haven't heard anything. which track did you apply for?
IB. Had some trouble with my applications so I had to go back and forth with HR hope I wasn't dinged because of it.
What sort of trouble? I was having some as well..
What sort of trouble? I was having some as well..
it was on their end so I am not entirely sure why my application was messed up, but they said they fixed it
Had the same issue. They fixed my app literally 2 hours before deadline closed when I thought I completed my submission 2 months ago. No problems on my end after getting in touch with my network to double-check.
First wave of invites will be out in early March.
If you look at past threads you can see when people got phone calls and when invites started being sent out
Did you have a phone call with Barclays? If so when?
.
I got a hirevue for the springboard
Congrats! When was this? Am still waiting :/
This afternoon. I really thought I wasn’t going to hear back at all
Do you think it's sent out in waves? or should I officially give up hope? :((
no need to stress at this point, phone screens go out in waves based on recruiting (target/non target, ocr/hirevue)
Also just got an online video interview
did a phone screen on the 22nd
.
Does anyone know if theyll cover travel for this program? Got a hirevue
yeah they will
.
Was told some will hear back by next friday
What questions did you guys get on the HireVue portion?
Bump. Any insight on the Springboard Hirevue would be greatly appreciated. This will be my first hirevue.
Has anyone heard back from Barclays yet?
are there two different timelines for the different tracks? Some people just got hirevue ( I got mine a week ago) and some people already had interviews.
yes, core schools that get OCR had in-person interviews instead of hirevue
Did a phone interview with an alum last Tuesday and was invited last Thursday
Got the invite email this morning!
Congrats. Fingers crossed they kept some room for the schools they didn't do alumni phone calls for.
Thank you! I didn't get an alumni phone interview. They came on campus.
That being said, I'm pretty sure most spots are gonna be filled throughout this month like last year! Don't worry about it.
I am aware targets did their interviews a couple weeks ago and got decisions this week. I am a non-target and received a Hirevue last Friday.
shoot i’m at a target and i haven’t gotten anything yet... interviewed w them more than two weeks ago
..
IB! Keep me updated!
anyone hear back post-hirevue from a nontarget?
not yet. i was told we were supposed to hear by the end of last week.
como se dice this is ridiculous
does anyone that has been accepted want to start a groupme? we could do mock interviews and stuff
I'm down!
...
just got invite this morning—non target!!!!!! there is still hope if u haven't woken up yet lol
alright, you guys that have already put your attendance to the springboard next month on linkedin are cringe
Lol, I'm down for a groupme.
Sent you an inv
Are decisions rolling or all sent at once?
Def rolling
Great. A recruiter let me do my Hirevue a couple of days later than the deadline so hopefully they did not reject me
Does anyone know what the event is supposed to be like? How many kids are going to be there, and how many offers they will most likely hand out?
About 80 kids are invited. I've heard it's 60% Banking and 40% S&T kids split in the room. Day 1 is networking/panels/pillars of wall st training/trading simulation game. Day 2 is superday/interviews.
Also I'm not sure if this is school specific but an alumni told me there's no hard cap to how many offers they're willing to give per school at the springboard. They'll invite whoever they like to come work for them.
Can't confirm this number at all but I've also been told that previously roughly 1/4 of attendees have ended up with offers
Has anyone heard back yet? (Edit: for internship offers, did the Women’s Superday).
I imagine all invites have gone out by now.. the event is 12 days away.
Then again, I know some banks this cycle have been inviting people 3-4 days before the event so who knows
Anyone know what the superday is like?
Bump, has anyone heard back for internship offers? Thought we were getting decisions by the end of this week?
I've heard those of you at the first superday (women's day) won't get offers until the 2nd superday (april 24, diversity day). Decisions are made tho. I'm told everyone should know by May 1 as offers will take 3-5 days after the springboard day
Offers from the Women’s Program went out already on April 5th!
what was the superday like? technical heavy, or more leaning towards behavioral?
For future readers: The superday was three thirty minute interviews with MD's one on one. Conversational in nature and relatively relaxed, it was a good vibe and the interviewers were friendly.
It was a very fair mix of 1/3 behavioral (story, why barclays, tell me about a time) 1/3 markets (deals, what's going on, news, interest rates) and 1/3 technicals (typical m&i 400 nothing more) for me. Was told "decisions will be out in two weeks, but expect them in one week-- most likely less." for all attendees.
hi, for m&i 400 do you mean the ibd 400 questions
yeah it's online very easy to find as pdf
lol looks like some pussies are throwing MS at you because they didn't make it to springboard, thanks for the info homie
lol literally someone has been going through and MS'ing all of my comments twice a day
I think it depends on your interviewers. Mine were purely behavioral. I think in general, advice is to just be prepared to answer the basics.
Are you a business/finance major?
yup
Yeah it def depends on your interviewers but you should still be prepared for all three of the mix regardless
Has anyone heard back
Just wondering if anyone got an offer yet or heard back after the interview.
Has anyone heard back from the April 24th interview
.
I’m just assuming we all didn’t get it lol
Lol chill out, last year people didn't hear back for a week
Was told by recruiter we will hear back this coming week.
.
Are we expected to know decisions by Monday?
give it a week at the least and fuckin relax man
offers are going out today
.
got an offer for ib!
offer secured
Just got the call 20 min ago. Got an offer for IB! Plan to sign when the email comes in. Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those that also got offers.
For future readers potentially interested, Superday was on 4/24. Got the phone call today 4/29 around 2PM.
How was your super day?! I will be having mine as well on the 24th.
did you hear back yet? I had my superday on 24th for IB too
Anyone get a rejection call yet?
.
do we assume we didnt get the offer if we have not gotten a call?
Still no call?
No haven’t heard anything
Has anyone heard back for the 2020 program?
Yep
-
yeah me too, got the email yesterday
Got the invite today
phone screen or invitation to the program?
phone screen
anyone already have their phone screen and can share how it went/what was asked?
-
Have all invitations been sent?
for phone screens or official invites? don’t think any invites are sent at this time. but yeah phone screens should wrap up in the next week or so
Has anyone heard back from the Women's program yet?
I talked to my interviwer and told me that I should hear back week of 23rd. Does this mean I got dinged?
Feb 23 or March?
