So what was the point of saying that everyone would get offers back in April? Just a PR move? I guess they had a strong economic outlook for 2021 so they basically meant 99% of people would get it as long as you didn't screw up.

What would be a reason for someone not getting an offer?

they always had a disclaimer saying "if they meet minimum requirements". just the media or readers selectively read the 100% part.

 

Sheesh. It'd be devastating for HR to say the reason you didn't get an offer was because you missed some meetings because you didn't wake up on time or thought you could play a game of warzone.

 

Exactly. How dumb do you have to be do miss a meeting on purpose? Wonder what the situation was -- did intern oversleep one day, and lose job because of that? Did intern have excusable absence, but firm/HR was still and unreasonably punitive about it? Or was an intern just a dope for not playing it safe and thinking they could miss a meeting with no repercussions?

You'd think that people would be conscious of the fact that they can track attendance lol. Interns had a half a semester on Zoom or whatever platform and professors were still able to see if you joined the live lecture, viewed the prerecorded lecture, signed onto BlackBoard/Canvas, etc... If schools can do it what makes them think that banks wont do it too.

 

lol only 1 person didn't get an offer. and i know people who missed meetings cause of the storm etc, hr was very reasonable about it. if they didn't get it it's because they didn't meet the minimum requirements and honestly the requirements were terribly minimal. even other offices like sf/boston had 100% return so people should lay down their pitchforks lol

 

Every intern, undergrad and MBA, got return offers in my group. Citi was extremely generous with offers this year so anyone who didn't get one must have done something seriously wrong.

 

Everyone in my group got offers too. Will not be doing FT recruiting for Analysts, may take an Associate. US group

 

Return offer for Singapore office is pretty bad though. I have friends already received no offer call from HR. Heard from them that the offer rate across the business is around 70%

 
  • Good idea to continue as placement analyst? Asume it is the same as an extended summer internship (salary, offer rate etc)?

  • Also, could one ask if possible (if one received the offer to extend the internship to placement, as one might have requested this due to graduation already) to start as a FT next Summer instead of the direct placement starting in Sep for instance (for students that have graduated already)?

Thx.
