Pretty sure there isn't pymetrics.
there are no pymetrics
there is hireview
Based on last year, I've heard it's hirevue-> superday. No phone calls or interviews in between. However, the hirevues screening is pretty selective and not everyone gets them. It's not like MS who gives a hirevue to anyone with a heart beat that has above a 3.0 GPA.
Do you know how long they typically take for Hirevue? And about what % makes superday?
It's rolling so it will depend on when you apply. They do it in pools based on date of application received and what school you go to. Unfortunately, I don't know the % of people that get superdays given that they got the hirevue.
I would apply as soon as you can given rolling apps. From my experience last year, I recieved hirevue about 4 weeks after applying and received superday around 4 weeks after hirevue. You get 2 tries on the hirevue like most banks and if you use the 2nd try can take as much time as you like to prep for the questions
I guess that varies. Last year I also got a hirevue like 3/4wks after applying but got a super day like a week after hirevue... it probably varies by school and office. Although this year it will probably be different
U mean like pausing the hirevue recording from the first try right?
Yeah you can take as much time as you'd like between try 1 and try 2 on each hirevue question
London was Hirevue -> Phone Call with alumni -> Assessment Centre.
What was the AC like? Was the case study difficult?
Does sophomore run on the same timeline as junior?
If you apply to both IB and S&T, can you only get a superday for one?
no you can apply for up to three positions. For me, last year i got the hire view for both S&T and IB
I guess BAML isn't opening apps tomorrow
What makes you say that?
HR sent out an email
Can you apply to more than one location for the same position? If so, do you only get interviewed for one location?
Anyone know why they aren't opening their application tomorrow? Really sucks because I have an offer somewhere else and probably gonna have to accept that one with no hope for BAML.
How do you know they’re not?
HR sent email for kids who have had OCR
HR just sent an email to let us know that the app will be “opening later in the summer”. looks like it’ll be while before they finish up
How did you subscribe to receive that email?
My school is a target for BAML and they did an on campus event before COVID that I attended
Are u a target? I didn’t see an email but I don’t think I’m subscribed
I am at a target and am definitely on their email list for my school, and I (and others) did not receive an email.
target here. got the email.
looks like ur not on the mailing list bud
I like how you act as if being on an email list is a big enough deal to justify being condescending.
also a target for BAML but no email
Might just depend, but I'd previously emailed the head of HR for my target about an issue, so maybe they just picked the kids that have been to events/from programs/have had contact with?
I am at a target, have been to all of my school's BofA events, have networked with several bankers across multiple offices and divisions, received their emails before, and have been in contact with my school's HR rep, but I got no fucking email smh.
My guess is as good as any, but I assume HR reps are emailing their individual schools on their own time.
The Bank of America website also mentions it but is vague, just saying "Applications for 2021 programs will open later this summer – check back soon."
Can confirm the delay at my target, not sure why I got updated when it seems like others didn't but rest assured it is not opening today (7/1).
any non-targets who got that email about the delay?
yeah
I can confirm that the app is going to be delayed from a pretty inside source
x2
Thank you for the confirmation. Was starting to doubt the actual website but I’m very glad your inside source cleared my doubts.
When you say pretty inside source, how pretty are we talking? Rate them on a scale of 1-10.
Damn
Early August is the estimate
Did you hear this from HR?
MD
does Bofa sponsor this year?
yes
following
Current NY IB SA here... this is purely speculative and 100% my opinion but I wouldn't expect apps to open before July 24th, which is the (likely) last day of our internship. Recruiters are very heavily involved in running our program so they probably don't have time to deal with the process for next summer yet.
Again, no evidence for this, just my opinion.
so apparently, BoA got delayed? checked a few times today but they are not still open;;
following
If anyone gets a solid date as to when they will open back up, please post that info. Gonna be excruciating having to check up on this every few days...
BoA delayed
Emailed HR for my school after the email on June 30. Heard back that apps will open "on/around August 1."
can also confirm head of recruitment told me that apps are opening on august 1st!!
LOL this comment is funny cuz it was the same day the apps opened.
Anyone in the diversity programs? Mine said they'd do interviews and everything before general SA IBD recruiting.
just got an email applications for GCIB internships are opening July 9th at 5pm ET
Same from target (HYP)
Holy fuck, stop commenting on every single thread that you go to a "target (hyp)", nobody gives a shit lmao
Same
Same
same
GCM as well.
anyone know if its rolling?
Yeah it’s rolling
Anyone know when ER opens?
It's shit like this that makes me absolutely hate this site (and shows why it's such a nuisance). How one kid can say "I spoke with the hEaD oF rEcRuiTiNg and they said August 1st" and how others can say "I go to HYP and they emailed and said 5 PM today" makes no fucking sense. Thanks Patrick Curtis for starting this absolute shit show
Depends on the division. Lot of divisions aren't out yet.
Is their sophomore program on the same app?
Heard S&T up or no??
Nevermind. It isn't up yet.
All I see is rates and currencies
Is there a sophomore program this year?
.
You are so stupid and insecure lol
IB is open.
Does anyone know if you can still apply even if you did a superday through diversity and haven't heard back at all?
You should reach out to your school's recruiter or the diversity recruiter and ask.
when was your interview? 2 weeks ago?
It was the first week of June
IB, CB, LATAM, GCM, rates & currencies all up (analyst/associate)
No standard S&T?
Not up yet
I don’t see anything under Global Markets. I assume S&T isn’t up then ?
GCM in the sense of ECM/DCM/origination is up. S&T is not up
why do they put some up and not others
anyone know how many programs we can apply to (eg IB and GCM?)
3 total applications for US
where does it say that (sorry just checking)
IB and GCM are the same app for BofA
Website frozen/not working for anyone else?
on the "experience" tab, are we actually supposed to list only 2 experiences?
I mean it said max of two, but like if you put three I doubt they'd fuck you over lol
Does the application require a cover letter?
no, not even a place to upload one
If someone at the bank said they would push my resume to the recruiting team, does this mean I can pick "Employee Referral"?
ye
Are spots for the LATAM Sophomore Summer Analyst Program filled? The websites showing me that the program is open but that its "closed to applications."
An associate told me that sophomore apps open August 1st, but that the junior ones opened yesterday.
S&T still not open?
yeah anyone have insight?
bump
Anyone know anything about Equity Research apps? Don't see one available.
bump

Is anyone sure that there isn't an assessment we have to do? The confirmation email I got told me thanks for completing the first part of my app and that I'll receive an email shortly on another step I have to complete. That makes it sound like we have to do some sort of test or questionnaire otherwise wouldn't they just say "if you are good fit, we will reach out to you"? I know it's an automated message either way, but it still sounds like there's something else that everyone who submits an app has to do.
I had the same thought lol. If you go to the career center and look at the status though, it says they'll reach out if they think there is a fit. I am pretty sure BofA doesn't do an assessment test.
Yeah based on last year's thread, I don't think they do either. Just confusing why they had their automated email like that. I guess it's a possibility they added in a test this year to whittle down the pool, but maybe it was just unintentionally ambiguous.
is there a maximum number of applications for BA? Do pre-internship programs count towards the maximum?
Anyone know if we can use our .edu emails as the primary one in the app
bump
You can if you want - don't think it matters even though it lists .edu as a secondary
does anyone know when hirevues are going to be sent out?
Bump
Bump - Any insight into when they come out?
Is SF IB taking interns this year?
they better be
where do I find the junior application or is it part of the global market? also do they not have any abroad programs for 2021?
Can you go through the process for multiple locations in IB. I applied with NY as my first choice but have had recent networking success in Palo Alto, which was my 2nd choice. Am I out of the process for Palo Alto or do I still have a chance? I know for some banks you're only considered for one location.
I’ve heard conflicting information. One analyst told me they’ll only consider you for you top choice, but another told me they consider you for all.
as long as u network with a location, they will give you an interview
How do you know that?
anyone following? Was wondering if you can interview for 2 offices.
following
BAML apps open Aug 1, heard directly from senior banker.
the apps are open already.
the website won’t let me log into my account/create one. anyone else run into this issue? advice?
anyone got a hirevue?
Is the IB app rolling or does it have a deadline?
Don't think there is any additional assessment, I think they will take some time to review apps as mentioned they seemed to thankfully push things back this summer. FWIW I heard the SF IB recruiting has kind of been winding down outside of the formalized process, but I am not sure if this applies to all groups.
Anyone know what the employee referral process is at BofA? I know someone who's willing to refer me but is disconnected with recruiting. I go to a non-core so we don't have recruiting teams deciding who gets a hirevue. This is for IB.
I mean I have no clue, but It seems to me that BofA takes networking pretty seriously. Just my experience from talking with a lot of people and how important they made it seem to talk to as many people as you could. Take this with a grain of salt though
Anyone apply to GCIB Rates and currencies origination?
Anyone know or have an idea when hirevues for BofA will come out?
Does anyone have any insights in terms of timeline for NY office?
I know this has been discussed in other threads but I wanted to ask specifically in the case of BAML - is it frowned upon to apply to both IB and Capital Markets?
No
Did the hirevues come out for BofA?
That kid on GS thread must be lying pos. If anyone got one, this thread should be flooded.
Man that guy gave me a big scare lol. I had spoken to a lot of people at the firm and I became so sad seeing I didn't get one.
I just wanna say your comment stopped me from having a 10 second heart-attack. THANK U BROTHER!
I was told by an MD that first-rounds would come out in the last week of July with superdays in early August. So we should expect next week for the first set of emails.
Thank you for this, brother. You will be remembered
Is there only going to be one wave of superdays?
I talked with an associate in the West coast. He said they won't start reviewing resumes until earliest mid August. Is yours NY?
Yes, NYC.
Has anyone heard anything about regular S&T? I keep checking the website but I don't see anything yet.
following
Bump
I know they are releasing sophomore IB on 8/1, so I'd assume S&T could come out then too.
In case anyone else hadn't seen it yet, the S&T app is open now
interested
bump
anyone has info about NYC hirevues? I've heard conflicting info saying end of August, mid August, or this upcoming week lol
Bump - Has anyone heard anything about the process?
Accelerated offers have been given out
non target, non diversity here..
talked to an analyst and the internship for this summer is done so theyre going to ramp up soon, will lyk if I hear anything
Spoke to an MD today who said that there isn't a fixed estimate right now on when the interviews (hirevues) come up.
Just got a rejection. I'm an international. Have IB experience at a BB. Seems almost automatic. Didn't apply as early as most (like a week after it opened). Could it be they aren't sponsoring? A friend also got dinged. International as well. Didn't apply early. Or was this just a normal rejection?
Did you network? I am international as well but haven't heard anything from them. Which office was this for? I also know an international student who was hired in the diversity recruiting process so I don't think they are rejecting international students.
Oh, I see. Didn't really network. Thank you for replying.
Edit: It wasn't office specific but I applied to Houston, Chicago and San Fransisco. It was a general rejection I guess
can confirm they're still hiring international students. A few friends got it from diversity process
I'm international and applied the day the application opened. Have networked pretty hard and have a couple of people pushing my resume. Even interacted with 1-2 campus recruiters, so I'm certain they are still sponsoring.
