submitted VCL and commenting to stay on thread.
Bump. Did it about 2 weeks ago so hoping they just haven't started reviewing apps yet. Would suck to get dinged this early lol
How long has it been open?
You got your vcl invite two weeks ago? nice, i haven't heard anything but i heard last year they didn't start 2nd rd until late summer/early fall. lmk if you hear anything!
just looked at their site for any updates and next to the intern 2024 info it says apps will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting august 14th
Can you give an insight on what type of questions they asked, was it more behavioral or technical?
Is it better to apply asap or wait until final grades are out (my school has not released them yet)
asap. interviews are already out

The people who are getting super days, are you diversity candidates? Did anyone hear from alternatives?
Yes diversity. My friends and I are both applying through accelerator program.
Yes, I'm diversity. I did the accelerator program through the founder's scholarship.
Does anyone know if they are holding more than one sd per group? Are they in a rolling basis until the spots are filled?
I also just did the vcl last week
Anyone hear from FMA superday?
For ppl who have taken sd, when do you guys find the meeting link. I have one on June 28th morning and the portal hasn't show any logistics or links.

Are all SDs right now for diversity?

Thread for people who are waiting to hear back after Superdays:
- mine was Friday, June 23rd. Interviewer said "expect to hear back next week". No response yet
next week from this week?
No, he said “next week” last Friday. So Im expecting to hear back this week. Stressed af about whether i got accepted/waitlisted/rejected - if anyone knows how long BLK usually takes to decide after superdays pls lmk
I'm nervous, had SD on 6/21 so its been a week.
Don't be jefe. I've heard it takes MINIMUM 1 week to 2 weeks even to hear acceptances. Don't lose hope. Pls update forum when you hear decision so others can know reasonable timeframe to expect decision by
What type of questions/technicals did they ask?
Has anyone from any group received an offer?
Nope
Nope. I've scoured the depths of internet and so far, only heard from 2 ppl that some got rejections for 2024 SA after their superday. Mine was Friday 6-23, they said at the time "expect to hear from us next week" so I'm hoping to hear today or tmrw.
May I ask what kind of questions they ask on the spd? All technicals or mostly behavioural? Thanks so much. Because they told me it will last for 2hrs 40mins for my spd im so confused why it takes that long
I had a superday on 6/21 (last Wednesday) for Platform Innovation. Haven't heard back yet. I thought I had a great interview and connected really well with all 4 interviewers so hoping for the best!
What Superday questions have people got? Any technicals?
For BPI, it was just behavioral and situational
Many thanks! Any curve balls? - And situational workplace questions?
I had 90% behavioral/motivational (prep for why BLK, why this team, why hire you, etc. - nothing out of the blue) , and 10% technical. Technicals were super easy - hardest one they asked me was "explain _____ concept to me as if I'm your grandma" and "walk me through XYZ programming/data science project". Didn't ask for any lines of code, just functions & libraries used . Hope this helps
Has anyone heard anything yet? I saw some posts about how we were supposed to hear back this week and my interviewers told me I'd hear back 'quickly'. I doubt they would call everyone on Friday afternoon so I wonder what's going on.
Haven't heard anything yet :/
.
Nothing yet; my application portal got updated from “Interview Scheduled” to “Application Update” so that’s something
Mine says 'Interview Update' lol so idk what that means but its been like that for a bit.
Just got an email from a recruiter asking to set up a call to "discuss the status of my candidacy." Is this a good thing? I can't imagine that they'd set up a call to reject me, but I'm really nervous.
what groups?
EII in San Francisco! Haven’t heard back from the NYC EII position I applied to, or the NYC software dev position, but to be totally frank I don’t care anymore
Just got offer call from two groups
what groups?
FMA and GPG, superdays were last Wed and Thurs
What location did you apply to?
Do we know if they've sent out acceptances for all locations/positions?
I have a Superday scheduled for July 6th. Anybody know what questions to expect/the general format? This is for the Alternative Clients Platform team.
When did you apply?
Late May.
ㅤ
you guys are all diversity candiates right ?
I think they're doing the accelerated diversity program, but i'm not sure
Anyone hear back from FMA? My recruiter asked me for a second transcript and extra documents (on Friday), but I haven't heard back on the decision.
What location?
NY
what documents?
A second transcript?? Did you submit a unofficial and a official?
They needed confirmation for my transcript cause I am from a Canadian University and my transcript didn't have my GPA on it :/ but it was approved by HR later, but no update on decision 🤷🏻♂️
Update: I got an offer for the EII team in San Francisco!
Congrats!
Congrats! Did they email you on July 4th??
Nah, they emailed me on June 31. The call was July 3
Congrats! May I ask what type of questions they ask on the spd? Because my schedule shows that the spd will last for 2hrs and 40mins so im kinda scared.
Any hearbacks from STS?
Has anyone heard from Analytics and Risk? or Sales and Relationship Management?
Not yet. I had RQA superday two Fridays ago (june 23rd) and starting to doubt myself...
Anyone know if it’s worth to start applying now? I don’t start my IB SA internship until mid august so idk if waiting until I can add it to the cv will affect my chances.
I applied before starting my summer internship but on my resume I put that I accepted a summer role with X company and listed the main skills and responsibilities I'll be having based on the job desc. I got a superday (waiting on offer) and during the superday they asked about how it's going so I think it's better to make them aware ur working this summer even if u haven't started yet
I was thinking of writing something in mine along the lines of: " Will join team x this summer to aid the team in financial modelling tasks and building presentations" as a single bullet point. Are saying its best to put 3-4 bullet points of what I'll actually do?
Hey Guys, has anyone heard back from the social impact or global public policy group?
anyone hear back from sales and relationship management had superday last thursday
not yet unfortunately :/
did you also have it then?
does anyone know how many people from each division/team usually get offers?

anyone hear back from last weeks SD for nyc?
not yet, still waiting - any updates?
just got an offer call for GPG in the new york office ! i was definitely waitlisted so thank u to whoever declined their offer last week LOL
What date was ur interview?
june 21st!
May I ask what type of questions they asked as I am about to have a spd and it said that it will last 2hrs and 40mins so Im kinda scared.

Have you had non diversity interview yet?

Yes, wondering if they send to everyone or just selected ppl

Yeah same, also from investment-alternative and wondering if they are sending this to everyone
Anyone hear back from sales + relationship management fig nyc?

Anyone apply for portfolio analytics? Or hear back after hirevue?

Just got rejected from BPI after 6/21 SD :( good luck everyone
ohh im sorry to hear that. Did they call you or send you an email?
Anyone hear back from USWA yet, still kinda early SD on Tuesday.
had my SD tuesday too and haven’t heard anything yet
Got an email saying "We are currently in the process of reviewing your application and we will be in contact with you shortly," means anything?
I also have it, for alternative
Yes, I got the same email from alternatives. So I guess this email sent to everyone who apply alternatives.
Got a superday for this thursday
What group?
Aladdin wealth technology through the accelerator program
Do u know how many interviews would be scheduled on SD?
It says 4
Anyone hear back for the accelerator? Had a sd 6/28 and haven’t heard back yet
I just got a email saying they are still making decisions, spd 6/21
Okay, I haven’t heard any responses back by email and there hasn’t been any changes in my portal. It still says interview scheduled in the portal and that they are reviewing feedback from my interview. Felt the sd went really well so I’m hoping I hear something soon
What were the interviews like? Technical or all behavioral? Mine says it’s 4 30-minute interviews
It asked for me to submit my transcript before the superday, is this a formality or will they actually be looking at this
i think it's just to verify you're a student, they don't care about grades (they literally say you can redact your gpa from the transcript)
Where do they say you can do that? Should I do it if it's low?
.
Anyone have any insight into the Global Allocation – Systemic Research PRI role? Comp and what the role is like?
Anyone have SD in fixed income?
just got invite
what team?
Has anyone received the link to the SD this Thursday? Confirmed my meeting time but haven't gotten link yet
I got the links today
People who had SDs, how much do you think the VCL played a role?
Anyone knows about PM-Credit?
Just finished the Superday for Aladdin Wealth Tech, Client delivery
