when does accelerated recruiting start?
have heard that recruiting team has reached out to some of the summit attendees for superdays
Got invited for hirevue today. Anyone else? Pretty surprised since I didn't network at all
I think almost everyone who applied got invites
I am pretty sure its not everyone
I did also what were you’re questions
what were your questions?
is the correlation one test different from a wonderlic? It mentions finance as one of the topics so I'm wondering if it'll be technical
If it’s the same as the one for the Academy Summit then it’s a combination of accounting, valuation, brain teasers and general finance.
for the summit I did the correlation one and it is definitely not a cake walk but isn't anything in depth
how technical does it get?
I thought it was a bit rushed given it was non-calculator; some of the numbers computed very easily others not as much. Maybe that means I did them wrong haha.
anyone has any idea what the first question would be?
did everyone get the same first question? was asked to pitch a stock in 1 min
no i got a stupid behavior
for hirevue?
Any update for London?
+1
I don't know how many questions I got right in the Correlation One Assessment. I kinda rushed through it and some numbers were hards to compute. I don't think think I did well overall and I most likely got like ~40% of the questions right. Was wondering if anyone knows how they're gonna assess this test.
anybody else got interview coming up?
Yeah 1st round. Do you have any idea on how to prepare for it?
When did you guys hear back?
yea got in contact with a few past intern who went through the process, what do you wanna know
What do most people think of the program? How are the exits or do most people stay at the firm for the long term? Is it preferable to go to a bulge/EB over a MM like Point72?
.
.
Ya, I know lol. I'm asking about exiting to a single manager from a multi-manager (MM) like Point72.
it really depends on your goals. from ibd you can always make the move to an SM - which has a completely different investing strategy.
problem with MMs is that they have a very high risk aversion and short term investing style. you’re usually spending hours modelling 100s of nonsense variables to predict the quarterly earnings - pulling your hair out till they come out.
SMs give you more optionality - they tolerate more risk and invest for the longer term. at such funds you’ll see mostly people with ibd/PE experience, rarely any one from an MM due to the completely different skillset required.
HFs are still the exit so most people would take an offer from p72 over any bank. however, those who have a very clear idea of what they want to do may sometimes pick a top bank purely because it gives them the option for a different career path
Anyone got feedback from hirevue?
Process over for those that didn't hear back for a first round or is it rolling and they invite in waves?
It’s rolling
Diversity already received first round, don't think non-diversity has kicked off tho
i got some email saying we enjoyed hearing about your research interests and we'd like to invite you to our info sesh but i haven't heard back anything about another interview after my hirevue. Is the info sesh one just a generic email that everyone got? I couldn't tell if it was a follow-up to my hirevue.
Thanks
I didn’t get that, probably selective
hm okay. guess I'll check it out and see if it helps in any way. thanks for lmk tho
I still haven't heard back about my HireVue. Is that the case for a lot of you or no?
Yup, still haven't heard back yet. We should all hear back latest by the 16th tho. So perhaps this week they are just focussing on diversity and next week we should hear from them.
anyone knows when superdays will be out? Just got first round done
when’d you get invited for the first round?
like 2 weeks ago
does anyone know how the correlation one assignment is weighted? if it a determining factor for progression to the next round, or is it just a way to collect data to make hiring decisions based on it in the future?
anyone heard back?
Anybody hear back for non-diversity pipeline?
Just heard back for a first round
Just got the email too - kinda surprised they want to do another Hirevue and not a phone screen.
Is this after you did the first hirevue with 3 questions + the correlation assessment?
yes
Did you have your interview already?
Just got first round interview
Congrats! Have you had the interview yet?
Yes
does that mean that have already sent out first rounds to everyone who progressed for the May 15th date?
anyone has any idea what to expect in the first round
Hey, from across the pond and was a summit participant. It seems as if our processes differ. We had a case assignment to qualify for the summit. Has anyone completed the first round for the accelerated process?
Anyone complete the first round this week yet? WSO interview database says it's all behavioral, is that true?
All behavioral?
does point72 take international students? or auto-ding?
they do
Anyone know what the video interview is like? Technicals?
anyone hear back about superdays yet? when do they go out approx?
Hey, my first round is in a couple days. I'm assuming superdays will go out after the interviews for first are wrapped up
yeah on my call I was told approx 2 weeks from your interview date
anyone did interview with their academy head yet?
Hey, nope I only did the first round. I believe the head of academy interview was the next round. Did you get an invite for that one? Thanks
yes.
Interview felt kinda awkward and forced for me. You guys have good flow?
Hey, I felt that too. Perhaps its common when interviews aren't done in person?
Felt the same here
Just got the rejection 1 week after the video interview
What kinds of questions were asked?
Hey guys/gals. Do all of you who get the Correlation One a few weeks back go to targets? I go to a non-target and just got the Correlation One email today and wondering if I stand any chance. If any one can give me some advice for the test I would really appreciate it!!
Also, is it Correlation One - first-round HireVue - Virtual superday? Thanks.
I just got it from a target. However, I didn't apply before the last round came out
A clarification: I got both the Correlation One AND the first-round HireVue simultaneously, which is a bit strange considering the above posters imply that the HireVue comes after a successful test.
Seems too good to be true but I'll try my best. Any advice on either? Would greatly appreciate it.
^^ same as post above I just received the Hirevue + Correlation One assessment coming from a non-target any further insights on the type of question asked?
same. bump
Also, do you know what the deadline to complete both is? They didn't have it in the emails for some reasons.
same! can anyone give insight into aptitude test? i'm not a finance/econ major and i'm a bit worried about it
are you guys ModernGuild ?
I'm in it but didn't go through the invite for this program. I thought it doesnt open until 6/15, no?
anyone know if everyone gets the Hirevue?
wondering this too
Ya, I think everyone who makes the GPA cutoff gets a hirevue + correlation one
what's the gpa cutoff?
Anyone heard back for a superday after the academy head interview?
They have already given out several offers.
How in depth is the HireVue - just behavioral/why Point72 or does it have a stock pitch q or something like that?
Has everyone received offers/rejections from the last round already? Is anyone here still waiting to hear back
did u hear back yet?
I'm still waiting back from my interview with the head of recruiting. Has anyone gotten superdays?
I did today
may i know what kind of questions you got in the interview with academy head?
Did anyone get an email saying that you were invited to take the Hireview and Correlation One test a second time today?
Got email for academy head interview today, was part of the first wave of first rounds that supposedly some have already had superdays for. Don't pay too much attention to timelines on WSO, everyone seems to move at their own pace.
May I know when did you do the first round interview?
About 3 weeks prior
Yup can confirm, spoke with academy head today and things move on a rolling weekly basis - good luck everyone!
Is this "invited to apply to summer internship" an indicator they are more likely interested in me as an internship candidate or is it just something they send to everyone? I assume its the second.
I've just got a first round invitation after 4th of july. Any tips or advice? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you.
BUMP! Also looking for advice for first round :)
id love advice for the first round interview too!
Has anyone who had a superday early June received an offer?
Where are you playing poker these days?
Applied 3 weeks ago, have not heard an update from them since.
Same, kind of freaking out. Target with good GPA, emailed and got no response.
how many interns do they take for their summer academy?
there are 30 academy interns this year.
anyone applying for HK? Any News? many thanks
Anyone know if you can still do the hirevue a month later? LOL forgot to do it.
Just got a Hirevue invite. Applied ages ago, target.
Same, I think this is probably their second wave
I was shocked when I saw the Hirevue questions in the email... Did not expect this lol
Have not gotten a hirevue back yet, I applied over a month ago. target, good gpa, stem major. Idk what their recruitment timeline is looking like but
Did anyone who received the hirevue/assessment on June 4th hear back yet?
I just received the hirevue. How far are they in the recruiting process for both London and New York?
Can someone confirm if everyone receives the hirevue?
Did anyone not where a suit for their hirevue?
Wear* pls fix
Wondering did anyone else also receive an email from them saying expect an update on your candidacy later next week.
Ya i did
I did
Did you hear back?
How long does it take to hear back after completing the hirevue?
Just received a email to complete the hirevue for the academy NY. I already did one for the UK position, but this time an actual recruiter reached out for the hirevue invite and CC’d her email. Does this mean anything?
Got the rejection email after the update, have no clue what happened. Target with a great GPA, networked with 2 analysts, did not even get a hirevue. On the the next I guess!
What was your test scores? Not sure what the  criteria is for hirevues but I think my good test score combined with expensive investment exp got me the hirevue since my gpa was just ok ( high major gpa tho)
Good but not perfect test scores, did some CapM stuff this summer and no prior experience. It is what it is IG, just frustrated to not get even a first look.
Anyone know if they are still open? Just got an email invite to an information session about 2021 summer internships that's happening next week. I thought they were done but maybe they aren't?
So did I and they're not since I got invited to do the hirevue for both UK and NY in the last week
