:) IB, target school
omg!! does anyone know how this program works or has done it in the past? Please PM me if so!!!!!! 3 or let mee knoww:)
I think you're basically matched with an employee at Citi who works in the line of business you applied for (e.g. IB) and he becomes your mentor -- you have a few phone calls, he gives you advice about how to prep for interviews, etc. and you guys form a relationship etc. Then at the end of the program, you get to interview and hopefully get an offer -- basically a way to get diversity candidates "hooked" lol
omgggg awesomeee!!!!! thanks for the info :)
Just got a call for private banking
a calll!!!?? OMG u already got SA 19 interview ?
No LOL they invited me to this program’s private banking track through a call
hahah ohh!! you got called?? woww I didn't!!!
so if we didn't get an email by now we didn't get in?
The email says "we do have a waitlist so we ask you to confirm by the deadline" and the deadline is next Tuesday. So perhaps you can be pulled off the waitlist. Also, it might depend on the line of business you applied for --e.g. mine is for IB, so if yours is for smth else, you might get yours later
i applied cmo so i don't know if that is gonna change the timeline, i had a phone call about it just two days ago with an analyst in cmo so fingers crossed i didn't get dropped right after that
i wonder if they sent out rejection emails to those not on the waitlist or not. i hate programs that say if you are emailed then you're in but if you hear nothing then you're out...its pretty annoying to constantly comb through your inbox
Yea, I hate that too -- like you don't know when to give up waiting and how much you should focus on other alternatives, etc. I doubt they sent out the rejections yet though, they usually take a while to send rejections and hm interesting, I didn't have a phone call for mine at all
Just got invited for the Markets and Securities Services: Markets Track, my first choice was IB, but being from a non-target with a handful of alumni at Citi (4 or 5) I'm excited nonetheless!
Congrats to all of you! I hope that your time in the program is beneficial on both sides! If there are Citi specific questions, I might know someone that can help - PM me.
How many of you guys are from non-targets?
I’m from a non target in the Midwest (no OCR-only handful of scattered alumni) doing the markets and securities service track, but I did get denied from the IB track which was my first choice
I'm non target and got IB
Got an offer from Quantitative Analysis
Has anyone heard back from the Pride Program? The application still says 'pending'.
i applied to pride and the womens program and haven't heard back from either, we are supposed to hear back by the end of this week for sure
Haven't heard back either, was told we would know by Friday
Hey guys, I got accepted to Markets track!! I was wondering if the program guarantees an interview for every student who goes through the program or is it only for those who do well?
From what I have heard expect it to be dependent on your mentors impression of you - so no guaranteed interview, and I believe it’s track dependent so it’s possible to have to do a phone screen first and then super-day. Source: some people who did it before
Just got an email said that they expect to have all communications on my application next week. Does that imply rejection tho..? Looks like people who are invited already received the invitations...
Also got that email for the Pride program
i got the same email, applied womens and pride
did they specify which program in email? or just general application?
I also got that email and I applied for women's program
Hi guys, just some update for you. I received offer from pride for investment banking. And the recruiter told us that if your status shows “recommended for different program” that means you are in. And also, anyone who’s also investment banking track want to form a chat group so we can prepare together? Recruiting this year is coming so early, I guess the easiest way is to do well on this program and also the coming interview. My phone number is+13109232232, DM me
if our status still says "application review" does that mean we are rejected?
BUMP
hey, I'm in the IB track and would love to prepare together
Hey, I'm also in the IB track and would love to be added to a group chat if there is one!
Just shot me a message! My phone number is up there. I can create a chat group
did anyone hear back today who hadn't already? anyone heard back regarding pride?
For all the people got into this program, do you guys want to create a group chat or so to keep each other updated?
Sure! How do we do that?
How bout group chat
Anyone know what this kick-off call today is about ?
I guess it’s like some big dial in conference call with everyone who got accepted to kick us off, and get a better understanding of the next couple weeks
so anyone who didnt hear back is rejected at this point (aka has the "application review" status???)
Considering the welcome dial in is tonight, I wouldn't hold my breath for this, sorry
I can't join the call bc it only allows 200 participants. Anyone have the same problem? And how is the call for those of you participating?
I just emailed them because I'm having the same issue. They just told me that they are working on fixing the error and will provide an update soon.
we haven't started
Any of u guys heard back from your mentor?
Yeah my mentor is an alum; he took 3-4 days to respond, and he said he's been super busy recently, but we scheduled a call for later this week. I wouldn't worry if you've not heard back, from my experience with Citi analysts, they respond fairly slowly (some other banks respond in 2-5 mins). Maybe follow up if you haven't heard by Thu/Fri
I reached out last week, have a phone call with mine tmr morning
thanks deshaw1 - used to getting a response within the hour, so glad it's not just my issue. so far have reached out to mine twice (several days apart) and nothing they said the calls are supposed to be about an hour each week, trying to decide what to even talk about beyond basic coffee chat stuff?
My mentor and I chatted on Monday and he said: "I'm going to teach you how to get this offer". So we're going over interview questions, he's listened to my pitches and "story" already, and we've gone over what I think are my weak points and set goals for what I'm going to do next week. VERY cool program so far, I'm excited to continue working with him.
@ntnyc awesome!! what division are you in the program for?? is he an analyst also!!
He asked me a bunch of interview questions. Quite intimidating to be honest. Also assigned me some research to do
Lol what kind of research?
Bumping this.. how is it going for everyone?
Good so far. Does anyone know how it works to get into the accelerated process? I’ve heard it’s just your mentor giving the okay to HR, but I’m not positive. Ultimately, my mentor was transparent that it seems interview / offer will based on one’s commitment and preparation, and to just keep doing what I’m doing.
I'm getting big to-do lists. My mentor and I kind of use the guidelines very loosely. I've had superdays and formal interviews for internships before, so we skipped ahead a lot. We started on "story" the first phone call.
How are you guys keeping up with the seminars? I had such a busy week and missed one of mine.
Anyone have any idea what the offer rate will be for Early ID participants doing IB?
Have you heard anything about the accelerated process at all?
no. have people been hearing back?
I'm 98% sure my mentor is referring me. He told me when the phone screening is, but that's all I've heard.
so do we all have to do phone screens then? idk what the point of that it is because we have been talking to someone in the firm and division we are wanting to interview for
anyone know any info?
bump...
It really seems redundant to do a phone screen.
Interview invites are out!
hey what do you mean interview invites are already out?? Didn't they just send out a generic email about decisions will be made?
Did you already get a interview invite for superday or phone interview?
THanks.
Got a phone interview invite this morning for S&T. The timeline could be different for IB.
Well looks like I didn’t get into the markets accelerated process, but good luck everyone !
did u mentor send you that email?
Same for S&T. I scheduled my time for my phone interview just now.

IB has just been released. PM for info.
Got the email for a phone interview for Corporate Banking, anyone else doing CB?
Citi S&T vs JPM S&T, opinions?
Going through the process with both just gotta say I think this is a tricky one, I’ve gotten close with people at both and I’m wondering the same. Side note: an MD I talked to said JPM is moving their trading floor to a whole new building in a few years.
Citi is also renovating the entire building and I saw the renderings, it'll be pretty nice
Hey taking this early program has many people attending, is the regular process gonna be later? Wanna submit my app but think it would be useless if it is not rolling. Thanks!
This is only for a very small number of spots, the majority of the class is filled with regular process
how do you know this
Hi, is there something similar for people in the UK? Thanks
Just got the invite for the 5-14 super day (markets).
Same here
