Hey all, Decided to start this thread for all those recruiting for RBC SA 2021. Apps have been open since fall, but if the timeline is anything like last year IB recruiting will be soon. Also curious for timelines for other divisions.

No idea what the timeline will be in relation to last year, but last year was phone screens in March, virtual interviews in April, and superdays in early May.
Any Ideas for non IB roles? Such as CB/ Quant/ Credit / S&T, etc.
All I know is that the S&T timeline wasn't much later on and the rest came later probably in the early fall.
Muni finance had interviews in October
For SA 2021, even though apps opened in ~Oct and are due March 1st, I was told nothing would be happening until early March and the process is not rolling. So like the person above said I think phone screens/on campus first rounds starting in march sounds right. Besides RBC, what else have you guys seen open already?
Guggenheim
true.. I heard interviews this month? is that what you heard? They seem like they are going pretty early. IIRC Greenhill seemed to want to go earlier this spring this year too
Baird and HL are also open
what is HL?
Where would you apply to RBC on your schools career center or on Linkedn? I don't see anything on my target school's career center?
It was implied to me that you just apply on the website, and if you go to a core school your application will be specifically flagged when you selected your school in the drop-down box
Can you list the RBC "core" schools?
.
Anyone having issues applying?
I've been trying for a week and it keeps saying that they are having technical difficulties.
Are you a target?
Had a superday today (diversity), was just an extended an offer for SA 2021 in GIB and came from a completely non-target school.
GIB?
Global Investment Banking, just what they call their IB division
This sounds about right. They did their diversity process (very short) in March last year. And end of March was when they kicked off phone screens for everyone else.
Holy shit, congrats man. Super early.
Did you do it through SEO?
Just had a super day & not sure when we hear back for it.
If it's a superday and you are getting good news you will hear back that same day unless this was on a Friday afternoon in which case you'll get a call sometime on Monday.
Do banks usually reject candidates on the phone or by email?
The apps close March 16... this for 2021?
What do you mean? Application "closing" dates have never meant anything for any bank in at least the last several years. It's always rolling with some places moving faster than others.
Has anyone heard back from Friday’s super day?
i know a kid who got an offer as well as one who got straight up rejected.
From Friday as in yesterday? Seems way fast for a straight up rejection.
is it for yesterday super day
Has anyone heard back yet?
Have any non-targets been able to apply online? It keeps saying technical difficulties for me.
Yes
Does anyone know if the S&T super day already happened?
yesterday , S& T kids had a super day with us ib too
I had one yesterday as well—will you PM me?
Is the application rolling or do non-diversity kids apply any time before the 16th and only hear after? Also, is non-target applying working online?
When you say non-target, do you mean non-target for RBC or general school perception?
Both. Percieved as non-target and non-target for RBC as well. I fit into that category + non-diversity. Am thinking of applying 2 or 3 days prior to the 16th but just wanted to see if that is the best way to go
When do non-diversity interviews start?
Is RBC Equity Research not taking interns in SA 2021? I do not see an application for the role, while all others are still open.
Deleted.
when? an alumni told he they didnt hire last year non-diversity. He said if that changes this year would let me know and push me through. I never applied though.
Closed March 1

RBC tech first rounds expected to start in a few weeks. 2 phone interviews and then superday.
Guys, I just want to confirm. Are applications for SA2021 for non-diversity, non-targets working? Please reply.
Have not been working for me either.
On the application is says under "Employment Type: Student or New Grad -** Campus Recruitment Only**" I'm assuming this means that if they didn't come to your school, you can't apply. Which means you have to network to get your resume in.
They didn’t come to my school and the application worked just fine for me
Deleted.
In the portal it said it worked but I didn’t get an email confirmation it seems . Need to recheck what happened
How much do they care about networking? Is it possible to get a first round without networking?
Based off of what I’ve heard through networking if you go to a RBC core school you don’t have to network to land an offer. If you don’t , consider yourself out if you don’t network. But even if you go to a core school having an internal push always helps.
Thanks for the comment. Mind if I ask what RBC's core schools are?
Bumping this thread to ask if anybody has heard back from them? Apparently 1st rounds were supposed to be yesterday according to some spreadsheet from my school's career center, but didn't hear back and nor did anybody I know
I would assume they're delaying because of covid
got a first round interview for april 6.
Target or not target? When did you submit the app?
Any other interviews sent out S&T IB?
How big are analyst classes usually for rbc?
Just received an offer.
diversity？
Yes. SEO
congrats!! Were you in WAP?
thanks. Not sure what is WAP?
Were you in WAP? Heard from my contact that I'm about to get my first round interview and have no idea what to expect...
Anybody accept thier offers yet?
Yep
What schools do you guys go to that have got first-round interviews set up? I go to a semi-target where I could not apply through my career center and we had no campus visits and nobody I know has heard anything back.
Pretty sure its been all diversity so far but I'm not positive? If not they likely haven't done much interviewing, I go to one of their primary target schools and don't know anyone so far who's gotten an interview.
Nah I also go to a primary RBC target and first rounds are this friday
Agree with this, believe rn the aim is to focus on placement for this summer, with rest of diversity and target/non target starting in 2 to 3 weeks
how were first round interviews? what kind of technicals?
Got a first round invite for S&T
Are you diversity
No
what was your first round like for s&t?
It's next week, However something really weird is that RBC seems to have less interview spots then people that get the invitation. Like they mentioned in the email to "sign up ASAP" and when I went to pick a spot almost everything was gone already... No doubt some people are already canned.
What should I expect for a 1st round? Have one tomorrow for tech IB.
URGENT were 1st round interviews face to face video or over the phone?
For S&T it's going to be phone
for some reason they said to let them know if I couldn't use zoom/skype for virtual 1st round?
-
when are first rounds for IB NYC?
How many people get first round for S&T? Only 2 in this thread....
did u or know anybody else?
Me and the "Prospect in Other" are the only 2 I know of
Anyone else having trouble submitting the applications to RBC LA SA
If you have not received anything about a first round interview (IB non diversity), is it pretty much over? (I go to a semi-target type).
Bump
Does RBC really have an IB division? Huh
Top 10 in League Tables in total Revenue, mostly financing deals, but wins a handful of M&A mandates ranging from $500mm - $2B.
Anybody hear back 1st rounds s&t?
Not over yet money got pushed back to tomorrow. Prob expect something end of the week.
damn yours got moved to tomorrow?
Heard it will Be a couple weeks
source?
I just got SF tech banking first round interviews last week, so looks like they might not be done with IB?
Same just got my invite for a first round for SF tech. How long did it take for you to hear back?
How have the first rounds gone in general? Have one for the SF office soon.
Has anyone had a first round for capital markets origination? Have one coming up and would love any insight
Had a phone screen interview last week for RBC CMO. Will this be your first interview, or have you already had the phone screen?

Has anyone heard anything about SF superday?

Bump - anyone heard back from first round for CMO?

Does anyone know if they are done recruiting for IB and S&T?
just about to wrap up
What about S&T
source?
has anyone heard anything about CMO other than the initial phone screen/first round?
i haven't
I haven’t yet either. When did you have your phone screen if you don’t mind me asking?
still haven't heard anything for cmo, almost been three weeks at this point so who knows
I did my phone screen 2 weeks ago and haven't heard
shit I’m lost, thought RBC SA 2022 was scheduled to kickoff in a month
As I'm sure many are studying for RBC technical interviews, you can have your Alexa or Google Home quiz you. I recently added some IB accounting and valuation quizzes that you can use and add to at Grillme (https://grillme.dev/</a">https://grillme.dev/). Video of it: https://youtu.be/vRdBhs-A9Do</a">
. Hope this is helpful for some.Any info on quant recruiting? App seems to have just closed
Any more first rounds for NY IB?
any updates on SF superday?
