Did you get asked to fill up a tax credit form before receiving the email? I got an email a little over a week ago to submit the form since I was being considered for the role but haven't heard anything since lol

 

I had Citi (tech Palo Alto) last Friday. I got a ton of accounting/valuation technical's during the first round, and then randomly drilled about it during the superday. But it was fairly repetitive. If the "Why Citi?" question comes up, make sure to indirectly talk about how you want to work on global transactions, and why that's so important. The office was relatively dry, so I put the jokes on the back burner and kept a straight face for six hours. But I don't know if it's the same in Houston. Good luck man.

Westfald- This is for Citi's commodities trading group in Houston, not banking. That being said, any advice or was your interview with banking?

mlibrett- My credentials are pretty strong. If you've got a 3.0 GPA (from your profile) and are from Northeastern (from your profile) you are going to have a pretty hard time getting looks at commodity trading shops in Houston.

That being said, anyone have any input as to what type of stuff I need to know?

Guenter,

Were you interviewing for the commodity rotational analyst position? If so, I interviewed as well except over the phone. I have not heard anything back yet. The guy told me it could be as long as 2 weeks. Do you live in Houston? Did you actually go in the office? Good luck brother.

 

If you've progressed through the first-round, chances are they see that you aren't socially inept, so less fit from here on out. Search this, discussed ad nauseum.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

For IBD? How was your first round?

My first round was entirely technical but I'm a nontarget and I guess they wanted to make sure I'm not an idiot. Second round was entirely walking through a transaction I worked on (did M&A internship).

It really depends on your interviewer and your background. I'm assuming that if I was target I would've gotten more fit but who knows-be prepared for both and good luck.

 

Be prepared for technical (accounting and finance) questions. Also for fit questions. You will be meeting with a lot of different interviewers, some of them (most likely the younger guys) might ask you technical stuff, while the older guys will probably ask fit questions and get a feel for whether or not you are a douchebag.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
 

like makers mark, im also from a nontarget and my first round interview was highly technical, working through one large problem. they definitely wanted to make sure you knew something about the business before taking you in for a super day. makers mark-- how long between 1st round and notification of 2nd round? are there any other non-target jp people out there? how long before i should start to get nervous. im s&t by the way

 

As already pointed out, second round questions depend on your background and previous experience. Expect technical questions from the junior bankers and more personal fit focused interviews with the senior guys. Good luck.
