There are already about 3 other CS threads for Summer 2019
bump
Superday last week and received offer on Monday to join IBCM group for New York office. Good luck!
Is this accelerated? I don't even see an option to apply..
No
target or non-target?
Got an offer relatively recently for IBCM 2019 summer in NYC. Not accelerated superdays began last week
Did you have a first round before that? Or was it straight to a super day invite
First round
For anyone who has already had the IBCM superday, how was it structured? From speaking to contacts in IBCM there is only one more round of interviews and I would love some insight. Thanks!
Where do you guys apply? There isn't even an option on the website? Someone please direct me to a link
The website is really confusing. The posting for front office 2019 SA positions is titled under "2019 Summer Internship". From there you can select location and then IB, CM, S&T etc. Hope that helps.
I've been scrutinizing the CS website for 3 hours and couldn't find the apply option, and you saved my life. Thank you. I was about to ask if I was crazy enough that I can't find an obvious apply option.
is it too late if we have just now applied?????
As mentioned above, it looks like there is only one more round of interviews. Definitely reach out to your contacts today.
spoke with an analyst a few days ago, was told there are two more rounds of interviews - mid august and mid september.
Has anyone heard about August interviews? Heard that they've already completed two - three rounds, but wondering when they're scheduling August screening interviews and superdays.
Next week
Source?
for those that completed the first round interview, was it mainly behavioral or technical? any advice is appreciated.
also wondering
do you have a first round coming up?
are first rounds like the hirevues or is it a video conversation with someone on the other end?
What to expect for first rounds?
deleted
Also interested in this response
CS interviews are usually very behavioral. Usually no technicals for the first round. but if you have a technical resume be prepared to talk very knowledgeably (is that a word?) about your experiences as they're likely to probe deep into the small technical aspects of the internships you put on your resume that unless you actually did what you said you did you wouldn't have known
Any non-target first round coming up? Thanks!
I believe from what I heard when recruiting with them was non-target and target are pooled together if interviews are off-campus, so no separate process for non-targets for this upcoming round.
Thanks! I've talked to two analysts there but they've been slow to respond. Do you think I still got any chance if I ping them now again to show interest in the interviews?
have first round tomorrow, any advice on what to expect?
Focus on fit, don't neglect technicals
So do I. Pm me
anyone have a first round yet? do you know when superday invites go out?
just had mine. dont know about superday invites. non target and first round was 50/50 fit and technical
Had mine earlier today. Purely fit for me
Just had a first round this afternoon. Expected behaviorals, but got almost all technicals. Messed up one or two little things but overall went well - we’ll see.
what did you mess up on and what where the hardest questions?
Just had mine yesterday. Purely fit and interest questions. Anyone receive a superday invite yet?
Seems like first rounds were all over the place in terms of percentage of fit and technicals
First round yesterday, purely fit for me too
When these superdays comin out??? Next week?
deleted
Bump anyone hear about superday invites for those that interviewed this week???
deleted
Next ibcm superday is August 22-23, and yes turnover is usually less than a week
deleted
did anyone do S&T first rounds?
anyone hear back about a superday invite for who had first rounds last week?
^bumb
Just heard back - invited to the August 23 superday at their NY office
anyone else hear back?
Just heard back for IBCM, August 23rd super day at NY office
Call or an email?
email

del
bump
bumb bumb
Yeah usually they go out at the same time. I mean the super day is on Wednesday so if they sent it out any later that'd be pretty messed up.
agree
wtf how can an ivy be non-target
idk dude
just got second round invite. is this a superday or an actual second round? One email says final round interview and the other says second round. Also, it shows the duration as 60 minutes and they are flying me out for it.
Just got it as well. It is the final round - Superday
Just got it as well for the september 7 round as well. Flying me out too.
do u guys think the 7th superday is for people they're flying out as opposed to the one on wednesday?
maybe, not sure. Very surprised they gave us a 2.5 weeks advance notice about the superday.
kk
Same, also for the 7th. Anyone know the difference between this superday and the one on 8/23?
I got switched into the Capital Markets pool.. don't know if that happened to anyone else but that could be it.
Same here, also for the 7th
deleted
Are these comments all for rising juniors? Does anyone know how this timeline corresponds to the sophomore SA IB diversify program? Any advice for someone trying to network with CS? I go to a top state school but we don’t haveOCR and i don’t know many current students at CS. Thanks!
Comments are for juniors. Sophomore interviews will be in November from what I've heard.
Got a superday for S&T on Friday 24th, they reached out via email day after first round.
Any ideas on asset management and research division?
Anyone hear back from today's superday?
Heard results would come out tomorrow earliest
I've heard CS can take a little bit longer to get back to candidates than other places do.
Heard the Superday is v technical.
Source?
Anyone hear back yet?
^
Anyone recieve an offer today?
Applied late-July for IBD and LevFin, no response yet apart from a confirmation that they had received my application...
Did just find that both are now under review, which is nice.
I received an offer at an earlier super day and know several others as well. The interviews can be technical or behavioural, it depends on different factors such as who you get and what is on your resume. My first round phone interview was fairly technical, but my super day was more behavioural. However, someone else at the same interview had a behavioural phone interview, but one of the interviews they had at the super day was very technical (We had the same interviewers at the super day, but the other person ended up getting much more technicals than I did from one of them). They got back to most people within a week. You either get an offer, deferred, or rejected. If you get deferred, don't give up hope because I know people this year that got deferred and was later given an offer.
Was your superday on 8.23 ?
No it was earlier.
were you notified via phone call or email?
And how many days did it take for you to hear back?
It is a phone call. For the 2 different offers I received, I received phone calls for both.
Similar experience to Mollyf26 - I had a very technical first round, mostly behavioral superday, and I received an offer two days after my final round. I have a more technically sophisticated resume, so I expect that contributed to the technical-heavy first round.
Anyone else get an email just now saying they were still evaluating your candidacy and would have an update by mid-september? is this a waitlist?
got the same as well, think it's a waitlist
Same...
Have any of you guys heard anything since getting the waitlist email?
Yes, but like I said before I know someone that was on the waitlist this year and got an offer.
Do you know roughly how long it took your friend to get off the waitlist?
A few weeks, it was a little before this latest superday.
So no one from the AUG 23rd superday has received an offer yet?
Seems like waitlist emails were sent out. This thread has a pretty small sample size of people from the aug 23 superday, so offers may have been given out to some people.
Offers definitely have been given out since it's been a week...
My question is have they sent out rejections, or are they putting everyone on the waitlist?
CS is done, no? Especially if you have not heard back yet regarding a 1st round?
1 more superday on the 7th, after that it's closed
Anyone have any advice for Friday superday?
Looking for the same info
had first round for sales and trading today, anyone know how soon i’ll hear about what is next?
bump on advice
I am assuming if it still says "application under review" that its a denial, correct? Just seems "late" at this point because the process was pushed forward so much... Or maybe waitlist if that's a thing?
^ bump. I still see under review for Toronto and Calgary locations
Anyone have any idea when results from Friday superday will come out?
^ Wondering this as well. HR said 2 weeks but I imagine that it would be shorter than that as it sounds like most people hear back the same day.
they all meet up afterwords and discuss the interviews so i imagine either tonight or monday/tuesday
dele
Did anyone hear back yet from superday?
Nah
So you'll think that the results will come out monday or tuesday?
Does anyone know how much BBs max pay for the flight to superday? Im studying abroad this semester and worried that they won't fully cover my flight
has anyone heard yet?
wondering as well
No word yet either
No one received an offer?
Did you?
I did not either. Hopefully there is some news tomorrow.
So I got an invitation for first round interview for equity research. Anybody know what kind of questions are there gonna be? (behavioral or technical) Also it says it's "Virtual via WebEx" so I would assume it's a video interview?
For IB it was solely dependent on the interviewer. Often times it depends on your resume and your technical background. For the most part first rounds are more behavioral but be prepared for anything.
Also still waiting on hearing back for IB superday on sept. 7th
Just wondering how does the virtual interview works? Have not received any instruction yet so I'm confused.
Anyone hear?
Has anyone spoken with a banker or HR that said anything about response times?
Haven't spoken to HR and haven't heard back either
I just received a call from HR with an offer. I wish you all the best of luck!
anyone else receive an offer?
Haven’t heard either
havent heard back yet
Have not heard back either
raybands was your offer for "Investment Banking Analyst Summer Internship Program" or "Global Markets Leverage Finance Capital Markets Analyst Summer Internship Program"? Thanks bud!
Mine was for Capital Markets, which is strange because I interviewed for IB. Happy none the less. Anyone know if lev fin is under capital markets at CS?
Anyone hear back for S&T?
I have a superday on the 14th, anyone elsE?
Nope not yet, you?
Spoke with a banker yesterday, said that offers will be sent out by the end of the week. This was for Investment Banking Summer Analyst specifically. Not sure if Capital Markets is different.
How senior was the banker if you don't mind me asking?
Anyone hear yet from Superday on 7th for IB?
No Not yet
Not yet either
Little late to the party - but me neither. Talked to a banker who said it could take a couple weeks even to hear back
Does that mean we are on the waitlist? How does it take couple weeks for superday decisions
I will chime in here and suggest that offers will likely go out tomorrow; all else is waitlist.
Good luck
Anyone heard back yet?
Nope
Neither have I
Good things come to those who wait? Lol
n/a
IBD or Capital Markets?
n/a
pudge1058-. Did you receive your offer via email as well or just a call as of now?
Anyone else just get a waitlist email?
Yes. Anyone have any insight on this?
I got one - I interviewed at the August 23rd superday
Got a waitlist email. Does everyone who did not get accepted get this email? or were there rejection calls as well?
Hardcore_Noncore mobile1234567 @wsjfanatic" MonkeyMans Do you guys have any insight on the waitlist? Likelihood of receiving an offer, what the hold up is, stuff along those lines.
I think it’s like any other waitlist process... cross your fingers and hope that people turn down their offers/ spaces open up
Donald Trump, pass that second tax cut so deal activity can pick up
@Hardcore_Noncore @mobile1234567 @wsjfanatic @MonkeyMans @ibguy12345 Who are all non-target? That might be it
superday for S&T on 9/7. No word and no email about a waitlist. Should I just assume I got rejected? Anyone have insight on this?
I just got a rejection call from CS, so if you don't get that you're possibly still in the running. Good luck to everyone else though on this thread!
yeah i haven't heard back either so i think its a rejection
