- The text says hybrid, up to two days at home a week, while the job-type tag says on-site. Check the live posting before you rely on either.

Citi application stages
Citi’s early-careers page describes the same flow for most programmes (Official):
- Apply online through Citi’s portal. It runs on Workday and needs a Citi-specific account.
- Skills evaluation. A skills discovery survey for EMEA and global Services programmes, or a coding assessment for Technology.
- A one-to-one first interview.
- A final stage of either multiple interviews, an assessment or a case study exercise, depending on programme and location.
- Offer.
The postings for UK Investment Banking and Markets do not publish the exact online tests or a Superday format. Do not rely on third-party guesses. For the types of tests banks use, see our guide to graduate online tests and the group exercise guide. IB Full-Time is a Certified Role, so expect “extensive interviews, self-disclosures, permitted criminal record checks, regulated reference checks, credit checks” (Official).
Citi graduate salary and benefits
Salary: Not published. All three postings I opened say only “competitive salary”. The Markets posting lists a discretionary annual performance bonus, private medical insurance, an Employee Assistance Programme, a pension plan, paid parental leave, employee and friends discounts, learning resources and paid annual leave (Official). Amounts are not published. Third-year IB analysts with consistently high ratings can apply for a one-year rotation or Citi-sponsored Masters in Finance at London Business School (Official).
How the Citi graduate scheme compares with other banks
Citi’s rolling, no-deadline posting style differs from banks with fixed windows. Compare it with our pages on Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, HSBC and the Barclays vs HSBC comparison. For the wider picture see finance graduate schemes in the UK, the deadline calendar, and the Graduate Scheme hub.
Citi graduate scheme FAQ
Is there a Citi graduate scheme deadline for 2027?
No closing date is published. The IB Summer Analyst and Markets Full-Time postings say applications are reviewed on a rolling or ongoing basis (Official, 7 Nov 2026), so apply early rather than waiting for a date.
How much does a Citi analyst earn in the UK?
Not published. The postings say only “competitive salary”, plus a discretionary annual performance bonus on the Markets listing. I have not used third-party salary figures because none could be checked against an official source.
What degree do I need for Citi?
The listings ask for a 2:1 (or equivalent) in any degree for Investment Banking. Markets also lists Python or VBA and Excel proficiency and ideally a business or engineering school background (Official).
Does Citi hire for Technology in London for 2027?
I could not find a live London 2027 Technology analyst listing on 7 Nov 2026. Check the Citi early-careers page again, because the only Technology posting I saw was for a 2026 summer analyst role.
What are the Citi application stages?
Citi’s early-careers page lists: apply online, skills evaluation (a skills discovery survey, or a coding assessment for Technology), a one-to-one interview, then a final stage of multiple interviews, an assessment or a case study, and an offer. UK-specific tests for Investment Banking and Markets are not published.
Can I apply to the IB Full-Time Analyst role without interning?
Not on the posting I opened: it is marked for 2026 Citi summer interns only. Apply to the Summer Analyst route instead, and use the Markets Full-Time role if you are in your final year.
