PIMCO Prep

PIMCO Prep invites were just sent out. It is a 5 hour virtual session/program mid-April. I was wondering if anyone has gone through it, and if it will materially help in the SA process. 


I have read mixed things about PIMCO Prep - one person saying it's not selective, and then right under that comment someone else stating that a 4.0 ivy kid didn't get in. Don't really know what to expect from the program. 

 

Certainly doesn’t hurt as it shows some interest in the firm, but doubt it’s a huge leg up in the SA interview process.

Can’t speak too much for teams outside of RE, but from my experience as well as what I’ve read from others have heard PIMCO really looks for people with a deep, genuine interest in their industry- much more so than most of the BBs undergrad typically recruit at where attendance of some prep program is a bigger deal.
