Portfolio Analytics Associate

Bridgewater goes through one recruiting company for all their hires. North West Integrators.
The recruiter working at the HH firm was GREAT, her name was Joni and she was very helpful and prepped me for the interview.

The interview was with a senior associate/VP type and they ask you the "run-of-the-mill" interview questions. A lot of questions regarding my old position and I felt most of it was geared in testing my associative logic and answering-capabilities. Nothing too technical at all.

I didnt get the offer because I lacked "client interactions" and because I was too "commercially oriented" (I have been in M&A / PE for 3 eyars, nothign commerciall...) because i said that i don't put limits to my ideas and I would pitch an idea even outside my job description such as "growing the portfolio" (for example) to which he responded that "we dont need to grow"....
