How to read the tracker

Open programmes sit at the top of each tier, closing soonest first. Open means the posting is live today; Verified beside it means we opened that posting on the bank’s own site and confirmed it (the date is on hover). Where a bank lists several programmes (a restructuring group, a regional office) each gets its own row, because they open on different days and are applied to separately.

Open today: Moelis, TD Securities, U.S. Bank, Standard Chartered. Bank names link to the schools each bank hires from most; programme names link to the bank’s own application page.

Questions

  • What is an insight programme?

    A one-day to one-week event, usually for first- and second-year students, where a bank introduces its business and meets candidates early. Several feed directly into accelerated summer analyst interviews, which is why the deadlines matter even though the event itself is short.

  • What does "Not yet posted" mean?

    The bank runs this kind of programme but has not published a posting with dates for Insight Programs yet. The row stays so you can see the whole tier at once; the day the posting appears it picks up an opening date and, if the bank gives one, a closing date.

  • What does "Verified" mean, and how is this list kept current?

    Two checks run every morning. The first reads every posting and compares it with the day before, so a new programme, a date, a location, or an application link shows up the same day. The second opens the banks’ own careers pages and confirms what is live; a row it has confirmed on the bank’s site carries the green "Verified" mark, with the date on hover. New programmes carry a "New" mark for a week. The date under the title is the last check.
