I'm currently a summer analyst for another large investment bank, I'm happy to private message you details about my experience and the role if it would provide you with any guidance?

it depends on whether the emails are automated. they may have been reviewing them til the end of the day yesterday to then send automated emails today?

I think the point is the email is open for interpretation, how you’ve read it you may see no likelihood that those who haven’t heard will be invited to an AC. That being said, when they said we would hear by Monday, on Monday many people were saying they were refreshing their emails (myself...

It’s the 8th today, so fingers crossed that’s not the case, as was mentioned before you haven’t been rejected until you’ve received a rejection. Personally I won’t be completely disheartened until it gets to 5pm! might be a little optimistic but oh well!

Since it's nearly 5pm I'm assuming I won't be hearing back today, perhaps tomorrow instead. I know some mentioned it being a bank holiday but the email may be automated, so I have my fingers crossed. I was just wondering if anyone had received an AC offer after the initial 'batch'? Congrats...

I agree, I doubt people would be as eager to come to a forum to say how they didn’t get invited to a VI but I’ve definitely seen people say they hadn’t heard back - they definitely got a lot or video interviews, but I’m trying to keep in mind that it was always a tough process so having more...

I haven’t but I’m not expecting to til Friday, I read that a lot of grad recruit teams are under a lot of pressure with everything going on! Trying to be patient (still have push notifications on my emails and run to my phone whenever it dings )

Would you recommend Christopher Stoakes books?

I would say his books are mostly suited to applications. I haven't read the book you are talking about but did read his know the city book! I did an assessment with an investment bank for their legal internship and used both his books to prepare! They not only offered me a position but they...

I did see on LinkedIn that they've had an incredibly high number of applicants in comparison to previous years so not surprised!

I would hey! As someone who hadn’t sat a video interview before I would definitely practice recording yourself first, it was something I wish I’d done in advance! It’s such a weird experience it may help you look professional! I can’t share questions because I’m not sure it would even help...
