UBS has given video interviews.
Wow, PWP already started giving out first-rounds? Knew I should have applied earlier, only finished my app yesterday
i applied first 5 days of opening and haven't heard back.......
UBS videos are automatic if you pass the tests so not going to include them here
already had a 2nd round yesterday, they are moving very fast
Congrats! I don't have much experience with EB interviews, ppl on here say the technicals can get very difficult though. Was this true for your 1st/2nd rounds?
Where did you hear about PIMCO? From what I know they haven't even started reviewing applications...
know people who already did their interviews
Is this also for the Alternative Credit role?
Maybe it is handy to include the amount of days it took to get a reply from the firm.
Just got an email from JPM saying that I will soon receive email to re-apply.
Same, not sure why.
I just re-applied. Is this positive?
According to the email it is an open application. There were probably some issues at Oracle's side.
following
For P72, the offers given out were largely conversions from their case competition afaik? They're at all stages of interviewing at the moment.
Do you know what the London class size is?
5
Moelis has given out phone interviews
thx, updated
If we haven't heard back post test, should we assume rejection? Can networking help at MC?
interested too. Haven't heard back even though I did the first wave of tests
Had a referral from a MC ED who is really proactive with HR. Still didn't get a first round (yet)
Just got rejection email from J.P. Morgan
same, don't understand why because I got it seems like an automatic rejection, got it an hour after
Had exactly the same
removed
so if we haven't heard from PWP it's a rejection?
When Moelis gave first rounds?
comes in batches
JP gave out Pymetrics for the re-apply
Was just sendt JPM hirevue.
Anybody know about Barclays?
Probably not open until October
Lmao got rejected my JPM earlier and then got the interview invitation, Orcale is rly messing up there
Have you done the pymetrics?
Not yet
Blackstone have given out some interviews for all divisions
What divisions?
All I know of is:
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?
Not all MS 1st rounds are out. Only heard of GCM and S&T
If PWP is already at 2 round, is it safe to assume you won't be considered if you didn't receive 1st round call?
perhaps they come in waves
Lets hope that's the case haha

Has anyone got 1st round from BofA?
Don't think they've sent 1st rounds yet. Did you receive a "Stay connected" email yesterday saying that your application was under consideration?
Actually I got the 1st round today and was wondering if anyone else has received one.
I got that one but I think it is just a general email since I really fucked up my application.
It says Evercore has given out phone interviews. I'd previously heard that was only for FT not SA. Can anyone confirm?
A friend of mine applied for EVR FT on the day it opened (7th Sep), got his 1st round invite the next day
Did he already receive the 2nd round invite?
FT opened 24 August. Did he apply for FT or SA?
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?
Anyone in the process for Greenhill?
Yes have interview tomorrow
With BoA first round do you mean the phone interview after the video interview?
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
At their event today they didn't mention a phone interview but ok...
Anyone got BoA IBD phone? Got today
You say IB but your profile title is prospect in S&T?
Anyone know how recruiting process is this year? tests --> hirevue --> first round --> ??
every bank is different, refer to the other spreadsheet
could you please help me find the spreadsheet. Cheers
Hi guys, in a typical year when are the assessment centers in BBs and boutiques and when do you think they may take place this year?
Following
Anyone received the Citi IBD test yet ?
yes
Ok thanks seems it won't be Citi for me this year ^^'. When did you apply and when did you received the tests ?
I wouldn't worry too much, one of my contacts at Citi had an AC for CMO in Easter time a few years ago
Timelines have shifted earlier significantly
Anyone got insides on MS IBD first round?
Following here
Had a first round yesterday. All fit and behavioral!
Bump

How long do MS take to get back to you after 1st round?
Wait you had a first round for MS IBD LDN?
yes
follow
Is MS 1st round with someone from the business or HR?
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
Sorry, can you confirm that this was IBD SA?
Have you heard back for 2nd round?
Anyone else got a phone call from BAML regarding the application out of nowhere?
which division
IBD
Post is inaccurate. PWP are only giving final rounds after the 3rd October and not even finished giving 2nd rounds out
Post isn’t up to date 🤭
Know people who passed 2nd round, cheers
As I say again, you can't pass second round yet lol but cheers
For Paris , AC is October 7th
Those who got a phone call from BAML, when did you complete the Hirevue? Cheers
Also, does anyone have news about JPM IBD SA?
Has anyone heard back from PIMCO after 1st round?
Still waiting, but a buddy of mine got dinged the other day
this for SA right? so might be good news if we haven't heard back?
Has anyone heard from Rothschild?
after the tests? I received the tests yesterday not sure if that was selective at all or not
has anyone heard back from RBC > 15 days after completing the test? they claim to get back to people within 15 working days.........
When is the deadline for RBC?
rolling deadline but it seems as if they do not get back to anyone after the 15 day period
No
have you received a reply from RBC?
35 days and counting for me
Has anyone completed the HSBC Job Simulation assessment? What is it like?
Has anyone heard back for MS 2nd round?
How was second round? Also behavourals?
yes
Did anyone get a call from Dartmouth partners about PWP virtual insight day
yessir
Did you hear back about whether you have a spot at the event?
I have 2nd round PWP call on Friday for Paris
What banks are still open & are most processes still rolling?
almost all firms are still rolling
Do we consider rejections if we haven't heard news from MS when applied at the beginning of the process ?
Just got my rejection
after tests?
I think everyone who applied for their fast-track events did get a rejection in order to be considered there. Did you apply?
Anyone heard anything after BofA first rounds?
It will take another 1-2 weeks at least till we hear back according to the associate I talked to
Do you know if all the first round for IBD have been given out yet ? I’ve done the hire views on sept 15 so not so longn ago
How was 1st round? Technicals, behavoural?
I heard some Citi IBD 1st rounds are out
bad news for those who are yet to receive 1st round?
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?
Not auto in my case
Yeah I haven’t got dinged yet. But I assume that I’ll get a rejection because of that
Just finished the UBS numerical thing, felt like a caveman for most of the test's duration. How soon did u get the rejection after the test?
I did the UBS 2 days ago and go the video interview yesterday, assuming its around a day.
has anyone got accepted into the MS Fastrack insight Day
Nah - wbu?
also is this like an informal first round, or just a random virtual insight day
Nah. It is fastrack to AC but they litterally just sent a lot of of rejections to everyone who applied and also applied for the normal IBD summer. Did you not receive one
Wtf they send rejections to the guys who have done the spring week and we’re fast track ?
