Do you think HR check our Facebook profiles even for SWs?

Of course not, they dont have time for it. Btw Anyone knows when blackrock's deadline is? And do you do interview straight after application or are you screened at first? thanks

What do you mean by doing interview straight after application? Like do you mean they interview every applicant? It is stated clearly on the website that interviews will only be conducted after the deadline passes but I doubt they would interview everyone due to the high volume of applications that would come in.

There is a virtual CL that you need to complete three days after applying, something like for Barclays

Lol HR doesn't have time for that man

What was their "scenario based interview assessing your commercial awareness and logic" like? (a competency based one?)

I've heard that Lazard asks really technical questions about valuation models... can anyone confirm this?

Actually, the HR for one of the firm I was with said they do go on LinkedIn/Facebook if they can't decide between 2 candidates for example. Very odd but yeah..

During the vid int? (First round)

They probably do it for SA at some point in the recruitment process, given that half of the older students at my uni are disguising their name on Facebook.

Anyways, that's better, just had a paranoia attack...

Nope not video interview, final interview in their offices.

I think they're being overly paranoid. Summers get at least 2-5x the number of applications as SWs do, I highly doubt an HR team would care enough to dig into FB when you're dealing with that kind of volume.

It might be the case for smaller companies tho.

does this more or less mean that if you did not manage to get a sw you can forget about summer? and also, what percentage of summer interns comes from sw?

Depends on the firm. According to friends who went to GS this year for SW it was 40%, JPM was very low and Rothschild was apparently 100%. No idea about the rest.

GS was waaaaaaaay higher than that. BAML and MS were low af.
