Wells Fargo 2021 IBD SA
Starting this thread for Wells Fargo Summer Analyst program which opened its application today, June 8th.
Feel free to provide updates for interviews, questions, etc. about WF on this thread.
same is happening for me
Maybe the app isn't up yet? I have no idea tbh
the application was a pain to access, took me 10 mins just to find it
The whole wf careers system is awful, my least favorite by far

Okay I got it,
go to https://www.wellsfargo.com/about/careers/ and search the Job ID: 5542739
Good luck
Anyone know which groups are in each office?
These are the ones I know in Charlotte:
LevFin, MM M&A, Real Estate, FIG, Healthcare, Power Utilities & Renewables, C&R, Industrials, DCM.
I’m sure there’s more in Charlotte. No clue about NYC
Industrials - CLT and NYC Lev Fin - CLT and maybe 1 analyst in SF E & P - CLT, HOU Consumer and retail - CLT and NYC Regional IB - CLT, NYC, LA and others M & A - CLT and NYC Financial Sponsors - NYC Corporate Finance - NYC Healthcare - CLT, NYC, SF FIG - CLT, NYC TMT - CLT, NYC, SF ECM - NYC DCM - CLT
I think that’s accurate to the best of my knowledge. Not 100%. As you can see most groups have a presence in multiple cities with only a few exceptions.
no levfin in NYC?
Can you apply to a specific office or is location placement a seperate process?
It.'s separate
Google "A warning on Wells Fargo, wso" and read the first thread that pops up.
Read my post here before you consider an offer from Wells: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/a-warning-on-the-wells-fargo-sec…
i read it! I was curious if that was still how they did things since it was posted 3 years ago and I can't imagine they got positive feedback about their recruitment and selection process
I go to a school with OCR for WF E&P group in Houston. My interview and current internship position was only ever for Energy in Houston. After reading that post I can tell you that the recruiting is much different now.
My brother goes to a school with OCR, and apparently they are making them apply during June26-29th. Not sure how they do recruiting tbh.
My school also does OCR and have a later application date
WF target schools the same as Ivy League?
I don't think so. Go to one and haven't heard anything about separate recruiting for them.
Kinda + lots of representation from the South (UNC, Duke, Vandy)
The only ivy league target school for them is UPenn
Worst career site, they made me open three bank accounts before I could even apply...
Does anyone know if they have a soph specific app or not? I applied regardless
Love their site. You have to enter your university, but I go to a Canadian school and they have zero Canadian schools listed. Guess they're keeping us weirdos up north out of there.
lol.... I go to a top LAC in the US and they didn't even have that on their list.
Did you find a solution?
wells fargo doesnt sponsor dude
Got dual-citizenship luckily
Anyone know if it's regular or temporary and full-time or part-time?
You're not getting a return offer if you only work 20 hours a week...
WF IBD analyst here - noncore school process is 6/8-6/12, core school is 6/26/-6/29. First round followed by superday.
This is entirely incorrect. The APPLICATION dates are 6/8-6/12 and 6/26-6/29. Actual interview dates are after.
That’s what he means you dip
god ur a moron lmfao
thanks a lot
I attend a WF target, and submitted an application 2 days ago. I realize the target dates are Jun 26-29, so is it worth it to withdraw and try to resubmit later? Thanks!
That's a question for campus recruiting as we're not clued in about that stuff, sorry!
can anyone speak to the strength of WF Sponsors, M&A, or TMT? any insight whatsoever on any of these groups would be greatly appreciated
M&A/sponsors very strong, TMT not as much butstill better than for example UBS, the worst BB in TMT
appreciate the insight man - will look into sponsors/m&a groups
TMT gaining momentum - some strong mandates this year
Does anyone know when interviews will begin for non-target schools?
What’s the latest here?
The way it works is that they do OCR and then non target recruiting separately.
However, in the case of Wells Fargo, there targets are the top southern schools (Vanderbilt, Duke, UVA, Davidson, Wake Forest, etc), while a lot of the non target kids come from top northeast school kids. In other words, the non target kids are still typically target school kids at other banks.
For OCR, I believe it’s just on campus interviewing and then on offer. For the non target kids applying online now, it usually is a phone interview then a non target superday.
Obviously, things may be different this year given the circumstances.
for non targets it’ll be mid July first round via zoom followed shortly after by super day also via zoom
What is OCR?
OCR= On Campus Recruiting
Does anyone know if networking helps heavily for Wells?
bump
Yes it definitely helps!
Already applied but curious at what level/how many people you think is necessary to stand out/does networking matter at all now before interviews come out if I already applied? Background: Non-target, high gpa, prior intern at Wells in middle/back office finance role, and have 2 other brand name and more relevant internships. Had an associate referral & convos with ~7-8 analysts.
WF IBD analyst here - yes
Anyone know how to change the min pay? I realized it was not mandatory but cannot get rid of it or make it hourly.
lol u think they're gonna pay u based on that box?
Can you apply to 2 internship positions at Wells Fargo and will it look bad to the recruiters if I applied to more than 1? I was thinking about applying to Investment Banking and Financial Analyst Program (apps open in september for this, applying mainly coz there is a sizable amount of alumni from my target school in FAP).
Have to make the decision by like tonight. What do you guys think about this? Thanks!
youll know IB result by then
anyone know when decisions are being made?
I heard that interviews/superdays are in July with the big group placement thing in September. Source: MD

delete
DId this application close on the 12th? Was it really only open for 4 days?
Yes. Ridiculous. I agree.
I believe targets and non targets have different dates so app should be open again
Any updates on when first rounds come out?
I heard that late June July was when interviews were supposed to start
Brother (vandy/duke/uva) said he got an email saying first rounds will be in July and the superday is already set at a particular date in September
I just got a first round. And superday in late august if I pass the first round. core target school
So which schools are considered core for WF?
Does anyone know anything about the Black & Hispanic Leadership Summit? I received an invite for this but I am not sure if this leads to an interview or how selective the program is.
Bump
I did their diverse pathways summit which was followed up with a superday for everyone who participated. It consisted of 2 two-on-one interviews the day after the summit. Received an offer three days later.
Are you target? I'm in their diversity program, superday is 7/30, but I need to pick top 5 "preferred" groups. Which ones did you pick/get placed in? Also, what should I expect in the interviews? I started preparing now, got two technicals in the first round. TIA
Curious as well, recieved the invite yesterday, but it doesn't seem like were guaranteed any interviews
Bump... has anyone heard anything about first rounds?
applied a few days ago but haven't
I got an interview specially for the asset backed group next week
anyone of the diversity candidates want to share how their interviews went? standard questions?
Pretty basic IB interview questions. My interviewer went in pretty deep on the capital stack but overall pretty average... Big on culture though and fit
Got email on monday, first round on Tuesday with two MD's ECM and Public Fin. Eight behavioral/fit "tell me about a time.." and two technicals "which two statements would you use" & "What do you look for in SCF" Just got invited to superday for next week.
Since your username started with "slee," I thought this was going to be another @sleekerman post lmfao.
anyone know if we can change resume after submitting
If you get an interview, just let the person interviewing you know that you have an updated resume and and attach it to your reply.
Anyone know when first rounds will start rolling out? I networked a lot of WF people and was told they would happen throughout July with a superday in August
jut received a first round. core target school.
okay cool - recruiter just told me late july/august so I guess that's bc I'm not at a core target
for most banks including WF, do they typically roll out interviews to targets first and then non-targets?

Has anyone who is a non target received a first round ?
Yea I had mine last week, they are scheduling a second round soon.
for IBD or S&T?
No, I was told they'd happen late July/Early August
how do you find the application or have they closed already?
Been closed for over a month
got s&t first round; target
does anyone know the recruiters email address for Wells SA program?
Anyone else get a first round for S&T next week? Said that the superday will be August 20th.
yep, got the email thursday
Yep, are you interviewing with someone from clt or NYC
Two from NY and Charlotte
Does anyone know if you can interview for both IB and S&T or if IB is already done for? Got a first round for S&T but also interested in IB(applied to both but haven't heard from IB yet). Thanks.
Yes
Are you a target or non-target?
Traditionally a target at most banks, but technically a "non-target" specifically for Wells Fargo.
Has IB started first rounds yet?
havent heard back - IB - anyone got a first round? also, no hirevue for WF right?
no its a phone call then superday i believe
DM me if you want the first round questions in exchange for a $3 donation to ASPCA ( American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
Anybody who was in the Black and LatinX Summit get a first round yesterday or today for IBD?
yes I did; any insight on questions or split between technicals and behavioral?
I did too I’d love insight as well
When did you guys get the email for first round?
Anybody have an idea on the SA class size and what return offers rates look like for both IB and S&T? I've heard Wells has fairly lean classes.
Following. Had first round interview with ABF and Securitization and second round is scheduled for later this week.
are you diversity or target ib? before my 1st round recruiter said superdays will be late august
No. But I opted to do ABF track instead of traditional IB. The ABF recruitment is "faster" than the other SA positions. Hope that helps?
non diversity here, they said they wont be doing superdays til late august so wouldnt expect to hear back soon
Just did S&T first round
How was it?
not bad honestly, it seemed like they were impressed. Hopefully will hear back about the superday soon
just got an email for first round interview, phone call for the CIB Sales and Trading position. any tips?
Any non-target/non-core & non-diversity kids get a first round yet? I was told late July/early August, but just asking to make sure.
Edit (for IBD, specifically)
Non-target and non-diversity here. Did a second round for the ABF group and first round for S&T today. My understanding is that the regular IB recruiting starts late July with first rounds, then August for superdays and September for the group placement thing. S&T superday is August 20th.
How was the S&T interview?Casual?
I appreciate it !
Has anyone who already did a first round heard back yet?
My first round interviewer for the S&T position said we'd hear back around August 3rd about the Superday.
.
Anyone get an IBD interview yet?
In a diversity process and just did one yesterday. They told us super day would be on 7/30 if we move forward so assuming that non-diversity process won't start until after.
Just had a first round IBD interview. 30 minutes with 2 bankers on the line – literally 99% behavioral. Make sure you can speak on every line of your resume. Had only 2 technical questions at the very end.
Did they ask about something very particular in one fo your bullets or were there a lot of follow ups.
After the resume walk through they zeroed in on a couple of finance related orgs I have been involved in and sort of lead into the typical "tell me about a time when" from there. It was more about having a concise explanation for your involvement in all of your listed activities to make sure it's not BS lol.
Are you diversity?
nope. Just networked with an alum but nothing super serious.
This was true for both of my interviews, really only had two or three technicals that were very high level with a lot more focused on situational and behavioral questions.
has anyone who did the 1st round phone interview heard back yet?
Literally spoke with 7 analysts/associates at Wells Fargo and most of them went pretty well. I’m at a non-target but was told by most analysts/associates that I spoke with that I had a great resume. Still didn’t hear anything about a first round.
Are you diversity? I think this round was for diversity particularly people that went for the black and Latino summit. Don’t lose hope!!
Not diversity, thanks that helps.
same! ughhh
Yeah dude same, a recruiter told me they'd come late July/Early August
Same boat as you brother. One of the people I reached out to was a VP and after I applied, he said that he internally ref'd my application.
i participated in black/latinx summit and did my first round phone call on tuesday but havent heard anything :( is anyone else in the same boat? or have they given some superday offers?
