Equity Research SA 2020 Thread
Wanted to create a thread for ER recruiting. If you guys could send updates on apps and interviews that would help everyone. From what I know:
-Citi is done -Baird is almost done
I know there are also a couple of apps open: -MS -Lazard -CS
Yeah Citi is definitely done. I got dinged after the first round but I know they gave offers. CS has been open for a while though, no? I have no idea where they are in the cycle. I think UBS is also open.
How did you even get a first round already?
Oddly enough, online application with no networking. Got the invite about a month after I applied.
I had a superday there, but didn't get the offer. I couldn't find the UBS app, I found the asset management app.
I asume you are all talking about US right? In relation to London, I guess apps will open in July-Sept, is this correct?
This is correct. Especially with ER in London, it opens later than IB so no rush
Any updates now?
I have not gotten any updates for any first rounds. Has anyone else?
I received mine today. Have you had a chance to do it, how many questions are there? Any technical question?
What groups are you guys mentioning you want to cover in interviews?
I’m referring to ER from Baird! I got an online interview today, and I have 7 days to Complete.
So it's a Hirevue right?
For MS, did anyone get an online assessment after the HireVue? I few of my friends who applied to MS IB got an online assessment after the HireVue.
For MS I don't think there is any assessment for ER. Also heard from an employee that they aren't gonna start looking at apps for another two weeks.
Thanks for the update!
Did anyone give the JP Morgan HireVue for ER yet? Would really appreciate it if someone could share the questions. Thanks!
I think Barclays is just about done, with most people getting offers in mid-May.
From talking to an employee, most of their diversity apps have been sent out in May (only for the sophomore diversity day), but ER recruiting hasn't even started for non-diversity.
I know 3+ non-diversity candidates that have accepted offers for ER 2020 SA position. They might not be done but recruiting has definitely already started.
Anyone who accepted Barclays PM me-I'll be there
What about Barclays NY S&T? Any offers sent out already?
anyone here going to evercore ISI sophomore program tomorrow?
No. Was that posted on the careers website? Also, how was the event? Do you have any info about their recruiting process, timeline, etc.
Just got an invite to a phone interview today from Baird
same
---------------------------
Best places to apply that have not opened yet?
Evercore ISI!
Does anyone know when they open up their apps?
Does anyone know if JPM has opened up their Buy-side ER apps i.e. Asset Management arm?
Yeah, its the Asset Management Products program
Thank you
any updates?
I am hearing a common theme of most banks looking at apps in August and then interviews/superdays in Aug-Sept
Contact at CS said they'll start looking at resumes in august
Does anyone have an idea about Cowen, WB, Piper Jaffray Wells Fargo ER? I applied to Wells as their app was only open from July 12-15th but there was no option to select that I am interested in ER, it was just a common application for all of the CIB. Some of these are top 10 so I was curious if anyone had info about why they don't have ER apps (i.e. Cowen, WB and Piper)?
Cowen doesnt take interns. Piper opens august 1. No idea on WB. And side note: That's absolutely ridiculous that WF is only open for 4 days, what a bunch of pricks...
Yup, apparently last year WF was only open for a day.
Anyone know about the timeline for nomura er?
Has Nomura NY opened applications for ER and S&T?
Anyone know if research falls under https://nomuracampus.tal.net/vx/lang-en-GB/mobile-0/appcentre-1/brand-4…</a">this? They mention it once in the title but don't talk about equity research at all anywhere else.
For those who have accepted ER 2020 offers could you drop a reply below with when you did and for what bank if you are comfortable considering no one knows your username. Also what school or if you are target/non-target would be helpful. Just so everyone gets an idea if those banks have started recruiting.
Any updates?
Have a Baird phone interview a week from today, anyone have any idea as to what I should expect?
Couple brain teasers, some M&I 400, and a stock pitch along with a a couple personals
Does everyone get the written/analytical test afterward? Or does that mean I did half-decent...
Any non-diversity candidates hear anything from Goldman GIR?
Yes, got the hirevue last week
got superday a few days ago
Target school?
Got the Raymond James hirevue, if anyone was wondering. Also, got WF first round next week, heard first a couple days ago.
My Baird app says "Status: Contacted - 07-Oct-2019". Anyone know what this means? Am I out I guess? Has Baird discovered time travel...
Edit, now its back to the actual last contact date. Maybe a glitch or something?
Any updates?
Does anyone know whether Deutsche Bank is having an ER internship for 2020 at all? Thanks!
I have been told DB and UBS arent doing ER internships for undergrads this year.
That makes sense. Thank you!
I just had an ER superday with DB yesterday. Waiting to hear back by end of week.
Just had an ER superday with DB today, so can confirm they are. Not sure about UBS
Did anyone get an online assessment test from Credit Suisse? Does anyone know what the test entails? Thanks!
I just got it too, but I would like to know if anyone has info on this too.
I just got it but can't seem to open the portal bc my taleo isn't working
Are you able to access the assessment right now?
I'm trying to access it, but it says "The Career section you are trying to access is not available for the moment. The system may be under maintenance."
Im getting the same error, but theres a 24 hour technical support line you could try to contact. I think I might just wait till tomorrow morning to do it.
Anyone know when this expires? Not seeing any deadline for some reason...
Anyone done the assessment yet?
Both the verbal and numerical sections are graph/reading comprehension. The situational judgement test is also pretty straightforward. All in all, it wasn't anything worth stressing over.
Did anyone hear back from Barclays as yet? Thanks!
Anybody hear anything from Baird? It has been a while
.
Did anyone else's application to Bernstein bounce back with a rejection notice? My GPA and test scores are both fine (3.9+, 99th percentile), so I'm kinda confused what I did to trigger an automatic rejection. Their portal just opened, so I doubt they've filled the spots already. Are they filtering out all non-targets?
I'm at a nontarget and didn't get that from Bernstein, but I applied two weeks ago
Damn. Must've missed the boat. Most of these guys have been keeping their portals open for months, so I thought I'd be safe waiting a couple weeks...
Does anyone have any details on Nomura Instinet or BMO? Are they hiring interns this year?
I’ve heard that BMO is referral based recruiting, but also heard that apps open in September. Not sure which one it is.
Anyone have any updates?
Just had my Baird first round today. Has anyone gotten a superday there?
Got notified for a Jefferies phone screen today. Anyone have any experience with this?
Applied to them a few weeks ago. Haven’t heard back since.
Any updates about JPM, BAML, MS, or CS?
Got a rejection email from JPM last week; nothing on BAML or MS though. Anyone else have any updates on them?
I've got a response from MS, but nothing from BAML (already done interviews)
Had an interview with Barclays this week do they usually tell you if you dont make the cut for superday?
Been recruiting myself and know at least a dozen others recruiting for ER too. For all who care, this is what I've heard: JPM & Goldman haven't done anything yet. BAML & Barclays have both already had multiple superdays, might have one or two more. Morgan Stanley, Evercore, Jefferies, Baird have mostly finished first rounds, but haven't done super days yet. Credit Suisse & Keybanc are currently doing first rounds. RBC, Citi, and Wells Fargo are done.
The associate I spoke to at Jefferies said they will be doing superdays anytime from mid-October to early November.
Had my Jefferies first round 9/16. Superday this Friday
jpm and goldman have done stuff already i think
I think they may have done target stuff. I don't think they've done anything for non-targets (which seems to be most of the ppl in this thread, myself included). There was a dude from my school who was a JPM ER Summer analyst last year and his super day wasn't until mid-October, so it seems like they just have a pretty slow timeline.
Does anybody know about baml research superday
There were two last Friday.
How long would you typically receive sday after submitting hirevue?
Can confirm this. I got the invite but was auto-dinged since i took an offer in another baml division
Has anyone done/has a Evercore first round/superday? Also, does anyone know how their interviews are, in terms of technicals/fit/markets based?
I wonder when ISI app is on - looked at the apps over the summer but haven't noticed it. is it closed already
when you applied, how did you find out about the interview? did someone email you?
A VP emailed me. I wanna say it was around 2-3 weeks after I applied online. They reached out and scheduled a call for relatively soon after that a few days probably.
its already closed, and i've heard they have actual analysts email u
I am curious as to how the interviews are if anyone has any insight on this.
Anybody know what to expect from an MS superday?
Stock pitch, what's going on in the markets, why MS, why ER, basic behaviorals
Many thanks! More insight is always appreciated.
Did you heard back from the super day?
Anyone know what to expect for Barclays Credit Research Superday? 3 30 min interviews is the structure.
Hello!
Does anyone know the status on Goldman's GIR division?
Any updates?
done
Anyone heard back from Jefferies 9/27 superday?
apparently some offers came out this afternoon.
Hello!
Any updates? Also, does anyone know which banks are more or less done with recruiting at the moment?
Thanks!
Pretty sure all of the MMs and BBs are either finished or in the closing stages. At this point, I think only the boutiques are still accepting application & giving interviews.
I think MS, JPM, CS still have superdays coming up. I don’t know what’s happening with Barclays, Evercore is done. I think William Blair just started first rounds, RayJay is still recruiting too. These are the ones I know about. Feel free to correct me if any of these are wrong.
Yeah, that makes sense. Last week, my contact at JPM told me that they haven't had a superday for research yet.
I can confirm that Barclays is more or less done.
Did you hear back from CS yet (after doing the assessment)? One of my friends heard back from CS last week.
Thanks!
Any one have an idea of when offers would come out for MS 10/11 super day?
Had an MS super day 10/03. Still haven't heard back. Am also curious about the timeline.
Just committed - if anyone needs any help for MS/BAML/JP/Jefferies superday PM me
I just PM’d you!!
Just had my superday for JPM markets research today
Do you know when we will hear back?
No clue
Hey! Does anyone know what the reputation of Stifel's Equity Research is like? I think they are still in the recruiting process and I wanted to get some outside opinions.
I interviewed on campus with Stifel ER a week ago. From what the MD told me they are finishing up on campus interviews at other campuses this week.
KBW (owned by stifel and focusing on fig) has a stellar rep
Does anyone know if GS GIR is done recruiting?
