Yeah I was rejected. I'm not bragging, but just to demonstrate how competitive this program was I had a 4.0 GPA at a target school with previous experience in finance and I still did not get an interview.
tell me about it...i feel so fked by this market..ihave a 3.95 gpa, previous wrk experience at an IB and at blackrock but go to a non-target. not even a first round interview...i really feel the "discouraged worker effect" lol
I also had experience at an investment bank last summer, a 3.7 (maybe it's not that great), and I'm at a nontarget
I haven't even received any notification from Goldman Sachs, JPM, MS, or Citi on their rotational programs. Not to mention the slew of other banks that I applied to
yea bro...market really is fked up. i interviewed with JPM honors last week but my contacts there told me that they were looking for s&t hires now bc ib and er positions are already filled; thus, that fked me up bc i wanted ib.
and i havent heard from gs, citi, or ms either; I'll probably get rejections from there as well. does anyone when F500 companies interview or when they update ur status regarding finance internships?
if you don't get into a sophomore rotational program it's not the end of the world - I didn't get into the Morgan Stanley sophomore program and did back office/operations at Bear Stearns. Junior year I got interviews several BB and boutique banks and a couple offers. Most people are who get banking internships their junior year have don't have any experience in banking so a few of your who already posted have a leg up already. If you're at a target school for junior year IB programs you should be in good shape. My 2 cents.
Networking is very difficult in this environment. Most people are unwilling to network at the moment as their own jobs are on the line. Non-target school kids will have to wait till the market recovers I guess and HR is also being very particular this year about who should get interviews and who shouldn't.
i hope i get a sophomore rotational gig.....those would be as close to front office as possible and it would be a big move up from middle office where i worked last year

I got an interview from Goldman's sophomore investment banking spring program, but didn't get one for this UBS thing.
Why are you fuckin idiots trying to get jobs at banks?

what if you arent at a target but have experience at a notable IB
Then network. If you are able to show someone that you are smart and interested, they will help the best they can.
i have done that, but no dice....places are in a "hiring freeze"

i'm guessing in general if an interviewer says good luck, that's a ding? oh boy, fuck
what are you guys planning on doing for the summer? have a few superdays, but not banking on anything considering how competitive it will be
its not always a ding. they might say good luck because they aren't the only one making a decision.
or maybe cuz they banged your sister so hard that they wanted to wish her luck through you
that would be quite some girl-on-girl action
