Frustration with Lack of Communication After Superday
Had a Superday at MM bank. HR is heavily encouraged to reply to emails from candidates if they have any questions about the process. Process is like 2 months, I've reached out twice, politely seeking a simple timeline for the process. I've even let an offer slip by because I'm genuinely interested...

Why are Most HR Professionals Women?
Just curious on your thoughts as to why the HR department at most places is way >50% female (I'm talking >90% sometimes!). This seems to hold no matter what industry (even tech and finance). If you look at the Chief HR Officer at many Fortune 500 companies, they are all female. Is there some reason...
Girl on tinder threatening to send my messages to my firm / boss
Hey guys, long-time member and current PE associate. I matched with a girl on Tinder one night and we started messaging. Somehow, the conversation turned into an argument over stupid shit. In my drunkenness and anger, I replied calling her a fat*** and made a joke that she looked like she put on the...

Goldman Sachs Referral and Application Process
So on 1/3 I submitted an application for a role at GS . Yesterday, I received an update on the app that I am "currently not being considered" for the role. The interesting thing about it all is that I still have the option to withdraw my application from the process. If I was denied completely--...
Conflict of Interest: Writing Seeking Alpha article on same company you will be working for
All, John Cena back in the ring. I was lucky enough to accept a 2018 IBD summer analyst offer in NY at a mid-tier BB (BAML/Citi/CS). Rough recruiting process and many botched interviews but by the grace of God I was able to land an offer. #### “There are moments in life where it gets so hectic...
ID'ing the Hiring Manager
I am in the process of applying to equity research positions. I have found that directly contacting the hiring manager is the most effective way of getting my resume noticed. For the sector that I am most interested in, I can often determine that the hiring manager is one of 5-6 different senior...

HR Practices and Big Banks
New York Big Bank HR processes are circuitous, inefficient, and mostly ineffectual. They also seem to be full of disrespectful employees - whether the younger or, more surprisingly to me, even the older employees - who cannot be bothered to show the simple courtesies that can help somewhat dignify...
HELP - HR PROBLEM w/interview
Hey fellow Monkeys, I have a problem and could use some sound advice. Was contacted from a major BB (MS/ GS / JPM ) last week to schedule interviews for IBD SA . I replied with the times I was available, but since then no word from HR on my interviews. In addition, I followed up with HR stating that...
Dealing with HR when canceling a superday?
I got a verbal offer last week but hadn't gotten any paperwork and had verbally accepted. To protect myself I followed up with a person at a bank I was told I would get a superday with, and immediately after I sent him an email HR sent me a superday. I did not respond to the email. 1 hour later I...

HR Indecisive
Received an offer recently for FT . I was interviewing at other places, so naturally I reached out to the other places that hadn't gotten back to me to see what their decision was. I let them know the timeframe that I had. At one place, HR e-mailed me back and said "We're not prepared to make a...
What does this mean in HR lingo
I have your resume and will be in touch as soon as we start the interview process. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Do you consider human resources to be a bane or benefit to your firm?
To all employees in HR: this question is not meant to be offensive. I am new into the corporate environment so you should not consider my opinions to be valid. I am not a fan of my HR division. The resource organization we hired was an independent labor site for recruitment and hiring solution...
HR voicemail to call back - can't reach them
Hi friends,
What to do with HR contact info?
Hey everyone, I've spoken to several people at a firm and they have all given me contact information to recruiters.

What are Superstars For?
Recently, a Harvard Business Review article was published citing the prestige as the main reason that top MBA graduates vie for jobs at Goldman Sachs .

Well I've always been interested in human resources. Think management of globally located human capital, company compensation structure, talent acquisition and retention.

You mad? Why no, not at all, asshole :)
In a small conference room, I was greeted by my HR partner and one of the top dogs in my coverage group. I sat down, and my heart started racing a little and I could hear it in my ears. I also had an insane urge to pee. Then a voice came beaming from the polycom: Disincentivy, we are letting you go....
The Gamification of Recruiting
It could be said that recruiting for competitive jobs in business is a game. However, recruiting is a poorly designed game with blurred rules that doesn't necessarily award the best candidates all of the time. We have all long known about the shortcomings of the current model recruiting, and a...
Bombed interview... mail a few months after.
Last year, there was an event school and one of the guys was an alumni who works for this (very well known) company "X" (I am an European studying in the US, this guy is American working in London). Anyway, I talked to him and things were smoothly and I asked him questions about "emerging market Y"...
Bypassing HR? (FT)
Disclaimer: This is somewhat of a rant. I know most of the discussions going on now are in regards to SA recruiting but this pertains to FT . The simple question I'd like to get answered - Is it possible to get brought in without HR approval anymore? I'm not sure when it stopped, but I know you used...
Is HR going to give me the boot right at the door? - Short story
Hi monkeys, I posted this in the I-Banking Bullpen a while ago, but didn't receive many responses, and figured that the Get A Job forum might have been a more appropriate place.

How to go about emailing HR at small banks with no career section
I was wondering how to email HR at a boutique which says: send us your resume for career inquiries. Include cover letter? Cover letter in email? Who to address? etc

Behind the scenes of Investment Banking recruiting?
This doesn't only apply for IB but anything in the larger banks. I am in the process of networking and building relationships. I have spoke to nearly 30 bankers/traders in the past 2 weeks. Many of them tell me to keep in touch with them particularly once recruiting season starts up again. My...

Recruiting Cost to HR of hiring a new employee (IB/IM/Consulting/Marketing/Accounting)
Hey All, Does anyone know or can point me to resources about how much it costs to hire a new employee in the field of finance (IB/IM/ S&T , consulting, marketing, accounting)? I don't mean counting base salary,etc. but purely recruiting costs - on campus interviews, on-site interviews, job postings,...
Finance is NOT the major for a career in finance?
Easy...easy...put your proton blaster away and resume buyside fantasy of choice. All I want to say is that finance (perhaps) may no longer be the optimal major for breaking into...finance. Though the logic may counter conventional reason, so does an eternity of 0% interest rates and Monopoly...
First IBD Interview Tomorrow..
Monkeys, So I have my first interview tomorrow and I can definitely tell you I'm both excited and anxious to do it.

I just heard from a VP at the bank that they were working on a few candidates who are more experienced than me. But then he told me to stay in...

HR Problem
Last summer I interned at a BB as part of an intern program for graduating high school seniors.

After our meeting he expressed an interest in me...
HR Interview
I interviewed at a BB for what was supposed to be a final round but it turned out to be with only human resources people. Is this unusual? I figure it must be since when I interviewed at other banks I did so with people that actually worked within the bank (got those offers) What does it mean in...
