Any word on Citi FT start date? We were originally scheduled to start 7/7 but haven't received any updates yet. No emails regarding virtual training or background checks either.
Anyone have any insight??

nada
Nada my friend. thought we’d have done background checks at least. Drug tests?... Maybe closer to the start date...Maybe not at all. Who knows if they’ll consider something like that necessary during a pandemic.
My gut instinct tells me the July start will not change due to training for certifications/exams. It just seems like it would be too much work to change that from their end when we can just have instruction over zoom. I hope I’m wrong because I actually wouldn’t mind a delayed start
So if the July start stays intact it's definitely going to be virtual right? Any chance we'll be in the office physically in July?
Spoke with HR a few days ago. Once everything regarding SA has been sorted out they will tell us what to do next. He told me to not get a lease and to stay put. He said that updates will come closer to the date but for now to do nothing.
If you're told to stay put then they're most likely considering making at least the 1st month of work virtual. Probably won't be in the office until mid-August to September seems like.
it will be work from until after August. Training will be virtual and who knows wtf we will do until after August.
I would also like to know when we are going to receive a background check and drug test info?
From what I hear, all of you analysts might be delayed a little bit - but you will all be fine, dont worry
delayed start or same start time but make it virtual?
So no update yet?
also interested, wish hr can provide more info but understand that they're busy during a time like this. New York seems to be reopening up by regions / areas though Manhattan is not anywhere close.
yeah i'm mainly concerned with delaying start date since i'm broke and needa start making money by july lol
August 10th start date per HR email. Assuming this means training will start August 10th. What do you guys think?
pretty annoying we’re not getting paid till then
did HR say we're not getting paid according to original start date? also is there a way we can get signing bonus earlier than 8/10?
Has the virtual format for training also been confirmed, along with the training start date delay?
Emailed HR about this and they confirmed
We can actually assume that this is when training will begin, right?
Hr says yes
can't believe citi's not paying analysts according to original start date. seems like only JPM is doing that.
step the fuck up citi!!!
Has anyone not received the study material for SIE?
i didnt eihter but got email saying we bout to receive it soon or some shit like that
Thought that was just me. Thanks bro!
