London SA 2023 Timeline
Does anyone know when we can expect summer analyst applications to pop up for London? Do some firms ever recruit around the spring?
Any insight would be much appreciated.

You are wayyy to early bro, give it until august
Hey guys - I interned at Morgan Stanley and wanted to give some insight into the process. I made this video sharing the tips and tricks I learned at each stage of applications that are often over looked or not mentioned at all. Hopefully you find this useful when applications role around. Good luck!

JP Morgan already opened US applications for the 2023 SA internship and is interviewing/giving offers. Any news on London applications for 2023 SA in BB? Also interested in MBB.
Cheers
JP and Goldman are going to open the 1st of July. The others August/September mainly.

How important is networking in London? And has anyone started networking with GS yet?
Not important at all but important for firms like CVP/PJT. Big EBs and BBs; it won't help you land things.
So what helps you land things in London?
I thought its standard in IB across all firms that if you dont network, you dont get in.
That's for the US. The UK has very structured online recruiting with tests, hirevues etc. It doesn't really help move the needle at most places. Again, in the US, its different.
it might be worth reading this: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/20-most-freque…
When people say network what do they mean? Get a refferal 100% after contacting one Vicepresident or something? People use the term so vague
Point72 opened a little while ago but can confirm they've given out a few London offers already. I think they tend to do about 5 and they've given at least 3-4 so far. They said they want their program to be hybrid with interns around the world flying over to NYC for a portion of the summer.

Blackstone opened today
Are their interviews technically intensive? Heard previously it’s very behavioural
The only tests they've sent thus far are pymetrics which are fairly simple. i don't know about the interviews though
Anyone know how long Blackstone will take to respond after taking pymetrics ?
Should get rejection soon, don't worry
they sent out a few rejections after pymetrics
Also interested. Anyone heard something from their Private Equity department, yet?

Saw someone get an offer at DB through spring week
P much all BBs have given out SA offers via springs.
Mind if I PM you?
Do london banks sponsor visas for american citizens/canadians?
Not sure if it would make sense for SAs. Maybe for FT roles. On the other hand, Canadians have a special visa to work in the UK for like 2 years
Anyone got any news on other London SA 2023 already open?
Capstone - BX - DE Shaw - Point72 are the only ones that are open as things stand. JPM and GS should open in about two weeks’ time

GS and JP should open on Friday, do you think there is any actual advantage to applying as soon as applications open? (read in some forums that for IBD GS last year made first offers end of July, is this true?)
Only GS is going to open, I reckon. JPM opens around 1st August as per last year.
Pretty sure GS didn’t start superdays until September last year, offers in July doesn’t sound right
I think those were conversions from Springs.
Following
I do not see anything on GS's website at the moment. Are they opening later today?
Did JPM open? Can't seem to find anything
Me neither. Were there any real confirmation that it would open 1st July? Last year it opened in August if I recall correctly.
anyone know when MS opens?
Following
So goldman has opened today but there doesn't seem to an IBD division selection
On the website (not application portal) there is no 2023 SA for EMEA yet so I think it’s not officially open yet.. let’s wait
They opened IB/CF yesterday around 12PM
any updates, did the applications open?
For IB/PE, up to know only BX and GS seems to have opened
Is it for London? On the website, it is shown that EMEA is closed still but US/APAC is open. If you found otherwise that London is open, can you please specify the source?
Do you know if Blackstone has given feedback after pymetrics?
Got rejected yesterday for Infra group
Got invited to a first-round interview for infra. As far as I'm aware it is a typical rejection email or an invitation after pymetrics.
Did you get an invitation automatically after Pymetrics?
Did you only apply for infra or did you pick multiple groups?
have you done pymetrics video interview? or did u get first round straight after the games?
Has anyone else gotten the pymetrics interview for BX SA? I applied 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back after the pymetric games.
Have heard some Infra PE SA23 HVs and rejections come out
Does anyone know which banks in UK sponsor for non-EU international students?
Bump would be helpful, and is networking important? Asking as canadian
I have Chinese friends (French business schools) who have been been sponsored by Goldman Sachs, PJT and Houlihan Lokey!
Is it too late to apply ? Have first round interviews been sent out etc. If so which firms are still open.
If you're referring to SA programmes in London, no it's not too late, besides Goldman Sachs and maybe some boutiques that I may not be aware of, no one has opened yet hahaha. Most BB banks will start opening up next month, just make sure to keep an eye out ;)
Point72, DE shaw and Blackstone have been open for a while.
Blackstone have given out interviews, Point72 has given some offers. Thats private equity and hedge funds though, banks haven't given out interviews/offers outside of spring converts.
Blackstone PE Infra, right? That is the only one I heard of so far that has given out interviews
Anyone heard back from Blackstone after pymetrics games for PE/RE teams?
Applied for PE on the first day. Prior internships in IB, UMM PE, and VC. Going to target. Haven't heard anything after pymetrics.
Applied for PE on the first day and took the L a few days ago.
Does anybody know about GS summers interviews offers?
its way too early for that
Last year they kept giving out offers until January 2022 (this was the case for my friend who is now doing SA at GS London)
Has anyone gotten HireVue for GS?
I think you get it in the 1st week of August usually.
What do you base this on? Judging from last year's megathread the first IBD HVs got sent out in mid-October.
Does anyone have tips/advice on how to get past the online assessment?
How selective are Point72 with sending out questionnaires? Does basically everyone receive it?
yes
Does anyone want to mock-interview/prep together?
Yes, I'd definitely be down!
Interested as well
Same
Great idea
I'd like to!
pm me
pm me!
Hi,
I was looking for mock interview prep as well. Was wondering if I could join?
Just received an invite for a 1st round interview which consists of a 30 minute GMAT test and a 30 minute CF test for BX PE SA. Anyone already done it or received the same?
pm'd
Congrats! Did you do the pymetrics as well? What's your prior experience and university? Thanks.
Yes but only Pymetrics test, no Pymetrics interview. Prior PE internship at a top PE fund, going to a top uni for MSc
Hey Emixolinof, I am recruiting for Blackstone and got an email for a GMAT and CF test for BX? Can you please maybe PM or share your experience with it and how to prep? Thank you so much!
Just received a rejection email from Blackstone for their SA 2023 PE
Around what date did you submit your application?
First day, June 13th.
How influential is it to include A-level and O-level grades in your resume for SA applications?
if they're not AAB you're not getting in bro
Got 3A* but I don't currently attend a UK/EU uni. Do you recommend listing the A-level results at the expense of one work experience in my resume?
Anyone applied to the Jefferies IB off-cycles in London out of interest? They keep posting Sept start ones but I never hear back after assessment tests (appreciate this is slightly off-topic)
I think you saw those start dates on LinkedIn?

Has anyone heard back from GS? Is it too late to apply to Global Markets now?
No, the consensus is that GS doesn't even start to check applications until start of August.

Which firms (apart from BofA) hold ACs on weekends, or in January (apart from Barclays and JPM)? Doing an off-cycle at a European bank until christmas, but still want to recruit for SA. Gathered info on BofA, Barclays and JPM from last year's thread, so might not be relevant for this year anyway
Does JPM really take that long? When have the other banks assesments? Heard that some have already sent out interviews but have not received one yet. Bit scarred not gonna lie

Jefferies opened applications yesterday

Blackrock opened a few days ago. Still no JP or MS tho🤷🏼♂️
Funny I’m even a little excited, can’t wait for those rejections lol
Anybody knows the status of BX Strategic Partners and if they started interviewing yet? I applied and got the Pymetrics games and interview (couple of days later), but so far no update.
Replying to my self - got a first round today for anybody that is interested.
At BX?
Hey, did you also submit a cover letter for blackstone or just CV?
CL too, altho mine was very basic
JPM opening 1st of September

Any updates on the timeline? Feels strange that only GS and Jefferies have opened. When will the other BBs and LAZ/RTH open?
there might not be as many openings as last year
Makes sense as dealflow is worse so lower demand for new people and I guess super low conversion rates are not desirable. Is this for any particular bank or just a general thought?
Went through last year's thread. Posting some of the info I found below. In general, it seems that most banks open up in late August/early September. However, a bunch of banks that opened at the beginning of August last year have not done so this year (MS, JPM, and RBC)
GS: Post on August 17 claiming that Hirevues are out
JPM: Seems to have opened on August 1. Several posts on August 4 confirming Hirevue
MS: Several posts on August 9 from people who have done the Hirevue, AC out on September 10
BoA: Unclear when opened, but people asking about Hirevue's on September 1
Citi: People completed tests on September 7
UBS: September 1
DB: People completed tests on September 9
BNP: Seems that people applied around September 1
RTH: Seems to have opened around September 1
EVR: Opened on August 23
PWP: Post stating that applications are open on August 20
Moelis: People did tests on September 3
HSBC: Post stating that applications are open on August 19
RBC: Applications opened on August 4 or earlier
HL: Open on August 31
Greenhill: Open on September 6
Macquarie: Open on September 1
Evercore opens 7th September
Barclays website says that applications are open, but there's no positions once you click on the link. Have emailed Barclays EMEA and UK recruitment to find out what's going on. Will update if I get any info.
I got an email from Barclays yesterday, saying that their graduate and intern opportunities will open up soon. However, no specific date was mentioned. Does anyone know when they will open?
When I last spoke with my mentor at Barclays she mentioned September for the opening. Not sure if that’s the actual timeline tho.
HR said they will open applications around September.
Evercore SA opens on 7th September

Does anyone know why JP Morgan has opened their 2023 SA positions for Frankfurt but not London?
They dont have one. Offering "Offcycle" throughout the year
