Has anyone heard back from Citi Forum

[Anonymous User]

I don't know a single person who heard back about their compliance program

[Anonymous User]

I also applied and have not heard of any movement, nor have I heard of anyone else hearing back.

[Anonymous User]

I have not heard anything.

Time to revive the thread. Got an e-mail this week asking if I was still interested in the position.

[Anonymous User]

I also got that email.

[Anonymous User]

Same email here. Think it is to all applicants?

Also, anyone know what this pays and if there is any potential to lateral to a corporate department after this?

[Anonymous User]

Maybe sent to all. I know there were 600 applicants.

[Anonymous User]

Check into the citi portal. Did your status change?

[Anonymous User]

Yeah, did yours?

I also have a status change

Not really, at least directly. More likely path is Compliance -> Regulator (SEC, CFPB, etc) -> then firm.

Source: completely anecdotal.

One month after the application was due they are inviting everyone to an informational interview? Clearly they are not in a rush.

I know last year, a classmate found out about his acceptance a few days before graduation, so it sounds like they draw out the process.

Is there anyone that applied that did not get the email?

[Anonymous User]

Anyone have an idea what the pay is like?

[Anonymous User]

If you google, "citi compliance associate program salary" a number comes up. I am not sure how accurate that is.

[Anonymous User]

I have never been invited to an "informational interview". What is that? Is it one-on-one or like a networking reception.

Well gee golly, I hadn't thought of using that newfangled thing.

Did that, varying sources said from 50k to 102k. I was hoping to hear from someone with more info.

[Anonymous User]

First, the sarcasm was unnecessary. Second, during my search, I did not see significant variation.

[Anonymous User]

I got an email to my spam saying someone would contact me to set up a phone interview. Does anyone have an actual interview set up? If so, did you follow up to that email?

[Anonymous User]

I also got an email referencing a phone interview. I guess I will confirm that I have received it. Honestly, I am not too optimistic about this position. It seems like tons of people applied and they are setting up phone interviews with a good chunk of the applicants. I also don't what sort of exit options a compliance associate would have.

[Anonymous User]

Yeah, I feel like a bunch of people were given the phone interview.

[Anonymous User]

Ok, I am going to go ahead and be a bit of a dick. "I dont know what my exit options will be from being a compliance associate." Really????? This job probably pays around 100k and people who start off with citi move up the corporate food chain at a decent clip. To the point where, if you are competent, after 5 years you will make around 130k in a fairly steady job. If you want to move, you can go to a hedgefund in compliance still pulling down 6 figures. This is a dream opportunity considering most people who applied for this are unemployed 3Ls with graduation looming, or recent grads unemployed for a year. This would be a lifeline for anyone who landed it. The alternative is in a small law firm busting ass around the clock for a few years for a lot less money. Maybe I am a bit optimistic, but this seems to be one of the better options posted for unemployed 3Ls and recent grads.

"If you want to move, you can go to a hedgefund in compliance". Sure! However, some people went to law school because they want to practice law. You certainly don't need to be barred to work in compliance.
