If you know of any activity please comment here so we can consolidate them into the OP

 

UBS videos are automatic if you pass the tests so not going to include them here

 

For P72, the offers given out were largely conversions from their case competition afaik? They're at all stages of interviewing at the moment.

 

Blackstone have given out some interviews for all divisions

 

All I know of is:

  • PWS
  • REPE
  • REAM 
  • Strategic Partners 

Not sure about the others (but I assume they gave them out) - This is for summer btw

 

Are they doing batches of 1st rounds or giving all of them out at once?

 

Don't think they've sent 1st rounds yet. Did you receive a "Stay connected" email yesterday saying that your application was under consideration?

 

Evercore SA Advisory 1st round phone is out for sure, have mine next week. Got it the day after applying, applied less than one week ago

 

Have they gotten back to anyone about RX/Private funds group?

 

Yeah, sometimes they do it and sometimes you go straight to AC

 

Spoke to a recruiter there and they said for research its apply online -> video interview -> AC. So not quite IB, but possible not to have a phone interview.

 

spoke with recruiters and they said only IBD will have a phone interview round before AC

 

Had for IBD today, was with an associate.

Also, anyone got insight on GS hirevue for IBD? Is it still 5 questions like previosu years

 

Those who got a phone call from BAML, when did you complete the Hirevue? Cheers

Also, does anyone have news about JPM IBD SA?

 

What banks are still open & are most processes still rolling?

 

I think everyone who applied for their fast-track events did get a rejection in order to be considered there. Did you apply?

 

Hows it going monkeys.

Just got my UBS rejection - must have failed the Kobayashi Maru or whatever tf that numerical test was.

Side note: anyone else get "less suited for this division" on the MS sjw? Is that auto dinge or nah?

 

Yeah I haven’t got dinged yet. But I assume that I’ll get a rejection because of that
