<p>Does anyone know when training starts for ST? Also, does anyone know in terms of getting an offer, do you just receive an offer from SEO or do you receive a formal offer to sign in terms of the firm that you’re placed into?</p>
<p>@majicmike, I’ve already finished half of it, took me about 2.5hrs. All I did was do the practice test and then the real test. I skipped the courses that required in depth reading though, I’ll do those when I get some time.</p>
<p>Hey congrats to all who got in. Any of you hear where you’ve been placed? I was placed into JPM S&T. I look forward to learning about swaptions and all that fun stuff in the ZooLogic courses. And of course, I look forward to meeting all of you.</p>
<p>@booboo123 - I believe we will receive an offer letter just like any other interns, which we will have to sign.</p>
<p>@JesterCityLimits - If I may ask, how do you know 70G is the rate? Just curious.</p>
<p>@ojsbklyn89</p>
<p>All the BB’s increased their base salary from 60 to 70 last year, so, assuming that everything is normal, all interns are suppose to get 70 pro-rated.</p>
<p>@ojsbklyn89</p>
<p>When did you hear about your placement?</p>
<p>@ojsbklyn89 Congrats on the placement. I got my acceptance today through email from Barclays Capital S&T. </p>
<p>@JesterCityLimits Oh Ok I see. Thats sounds like a good idea. I go on Spring Break next week and I am just going to do ALL of it in one shot. Might take me 3 days</p>
<p>For does of who are not familiar with New York City and where to look for places to stay in the summer. Shoot me a email through here or my email (<a href="mailto:mifabanwo@yahoo.com">mifabanwo@yahoo.com</a>). I have been living here most of my college life and know the city like the back of my hand. I am willing to help with any general questions.</p>
<p>@majicmike,</p>
<p>Thanks for the offer, I emailed you.</p>
<p>I just recently found out I was placed at Citi. I heard from SEO though, not Citi. I’m not sure when I’ll be contacted by them. I don’t know about you all, but I’m really excited.</p>
<p>On another note, does anyone have any tips on finding housing in Manhattan? I’ve just been surfing craigslist and sublet.com, but do you guys have any other suggestions of places to check out?</p>
<p>@babelthis: JPM sent me an e-mail on Monday and SEO called me later that day.
@magicmike: We still gotta meet man! I’ll call you next week, because I’m going to be on break as well.
@jroutt: You can also try to contact nearby schools like NYU and Pace. They might have some specials on for the summer. Craigslist and sublet.com are pretty good, though. </p>
<p>Like, magicmike, I’ve lived in the city for years, so any questions, feel free to PM me or e-mail me.</p>
<p>@jroutt: Hey i sent you an email with a list of detailed places to where to stay in new york. Barclays sent it to me but I am of no use to it.</p>
<p>Anyone else who wants it, shoot me a email so I can forward it to you.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the start date for SEO training in NY?</p>
<p>@JesterCityLimits</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that training starts May 24th. That’s what I was told when I received my offer and the survey they sent out for finding an SEO roommate said the same.</p>
<p>^ Sounds reasonable, being that training at banks normally starts around June 2nd or so. Thanks babelthis!</p>
<p>It’s May 24th. I have it in writing from my program director.</p>
<p>“Submission Status: Submitted

Decision”</p>
<p>All of a sudden, online it says “Decision” after my submission status. Has this happened to anyone else?</p>
<p>How long is the SEO training?</p>
<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering if any of you who are currently in the seo program or were in the seo program for corporate finance were willing to speak with me briefly about your experiences in the program? Private message me with an e-mail address if you are.
I am planning on applying in the fall and would love to hear what you have to say.
Thanks!</p>
<p>I second what the above poster wrote. I would love to pick your brains for those that did iBanking.</p>
