HR EMAIL TEXT:

All:

We hope you’re staying healthy and well and making the most of your virtual semesters.

While our top priority is your health, safety and well-being, we remain committed to running a fulfilling and successful internship program. To that end, we have decided to delay the start of the 2020 internship program. This summer’s program will now run for a total of 5 weeks, from Monday, July 6 through Friday, August 7.

Even though we don’t have complete details for the program as of yet, we hope this sets you on the right path to start planning accordingly for the summer.

We will continue to update you with additional details in the coming weeks.

Given the changes above, please keep a look out for an updated version of your offer letter to reflect the new program dates. We ask that you please sign and return the letter as soon as you’re able. If you do not have access to a printer and scanner, please take a photo of the signature page and email that back to us.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Thank you!,

 

Did they change the pay? Curious as to why they are extending a different offer letter.

 

Changing offer letter would seem to indicate that they're changing the terms -- instead of being paid for 10 weeks, it's now only going to be for 5. Unless they're going to surprise with a new offer letter that says we're offering you FT job.

 

I wonder if previous firms that did extend FT offers included that information in their initial email to SAs. Or if there was initial vague email, followed by one with more details.

 

Think for moelis and Citi it was one email detailing everything. That being said because the email sent yesterday had relatively little information, I was wondering if the majority of their potential implements are still being considered

 

Has anyone spoken with HR/analysts at the firm that can give insight on potential developments (hiring rates, program setup, pay, etc.) since HR has pretty much been quiet on everything? Was wondering if people were able to get information/speculation from analysts..

 

Have not heard, what are your sources? Spoke with HR in the last couple of days and they said they're still trying to figure out the logistics.

 

Return rates will be higher virtually... almost positive... there will be very little to assess on... my guess is internships across the street will essentially be non-existent... and that most everyone will receive FT

 

how low do you think they'll fall? Gugg's historical FT rate has been 90%+ though not sure if they tend to overhire or not.

 

They could just as easily be waiting to announce bad news until after SA 2021 accepts their offers.

 

Just to clarify, did the email actually state the internship is 100% virtual?

We hope that you and your families continue to stay healthy and well.

As an update to the email you received on April 15th, please see additional changes to the 2020 IB Internship Program below. - In an effort to provide the class with a more fulsome experience, we have extended the programs dates and will now run for 6 weeks. The program will start on Monday, June 29th and end on Friday, August 7th. - As we continue to prioritize the health and well-being of our current employees and our 2020 hires, we are developing the program to run completely virtually for those 6 weeks.

We will continue to be in touch around first day details and more in depth information around the day to day programming of the internship.

As a reminder, an addendum to your offer letter to reflect the new program dates will be emailed to you this week. Please read it carefully and send it back in a timely manner.

If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

As always, we hope you’re staying safe.

 

Bronzbomba, can you please let us know where you're getting this information? Seems like nobody else has received an email yet, so obviously just wondering where you're getting this information.

 

Can confirm 6 weeks, virtual, with only 6 weeks of pay with signing bonus. No mention of full-time offers. Very surprised Guggenheim, known for high comp in the industry, would not keep original comp like the other EB’s. Disappointed.

 

I agree, surprising. You'd think that, even if they didn't want to do it, they'd bite the bullet and see it as an investment in future recruiting.
