BlackRock SA 2020
Haven't seen anyone start this discussion. Does anyone know about this? What's the thread? I applied a while ago but haven't even heard about first rounds yet. Has anyone heard back?

Career Resources
First rounds early fall I believe. What groups did you apply to? I did PEP and Alt-Solutions
Which business area was PEP under?
Alternatives, there's a follow up question
I applied to FMA and Alternatives (PEP). Yeah no word from them, but I checked the box for Founder's Scholarship which I thought would be "accelerated"
Word from HR is that apps will be reviewed after the September deadline
Damn, thats a long way out
Founder's interview process is going to be in August
Does anyone have the link to the application? Doesn't seem to be on the website

Thx...London is blue though
How many questions was Hirevue? Was it the same across divisions?
2 questions and they were the same for both investment groups I applied to
were the questions behavioral? like very basic why BR? why this group? or more like tell me about a time you...
I'll just say that they're both behavioral. Simple, straightforward stuff.
Any of you boys have heard back with First Rounds?
Don't think first rounds start until fall– With general "how to do well in an interview" prep you can do the HireVue just fine
anyone here applied to Founder's Scholarship?
I did! Still haven't heard anything from them though, pertaining to first round interview decisions
Some offices are staring to move now - got a first round interview email yesterday from SF.
lets hope this process speeds up. A good friend of mine told me that BLK is particularly slow with this king of shit.
Just got First Round for Alternatives NYC
when did you apply?
First day applications were live, not really remember
just had my first round with MAS group SF. It was all questions from my resume and some markets based questions. Also have fixed income sf interview tomorow
Would you say it was all behavioral +resume? I have a first round for BAS Alternatives.
Honestly for me it was more technical/resume questions than behavioral but most of the technicals were follow up to what I said. So like i was asked what was going on in the markets and they would follow up with a few technicals based on what I said
Can I PM you?
Sure!
Any non-diversity applicants hear back yet?
Go a First Round for FMA today, so my guess is BLK starts regular recruiting in the Fall.
Did you get first rounds for both divisions you applied for?
how does the interviewing process work? are you given a heads up and few days to prepare?
A recruiter emailed me Monday morning to schedule my first round interview for Wednesday. I had a day.
Hi so this summer I interned at BlackRock in their Core Portfolio Management (CorePM) Fixed Income and thought to give you an update... - First round is rolling right now!!! They will either do it online (virtual) or flight you out to the site. Last year they flew me out for first and final round - Final round you'll be meeting a bunch of people that will interview you, typically from 3-6 (or more) and back to back (each interview is about 30mins)
Founder Scholarships is for Black, LGBT, Hispanic, or Disabled. You will need to pass the interview first and then sign on to the offer to be considered for the scholarship, then you'll have to pass the scholarship interview round again to be awarded $17,500. Just a caveat, BlackRock will try to fill all of its SA seats for diverse candidates and minorities first and then consider other applicants.
What do Final Rounds consist of?
Hi just wonder if you can share a little bit about your experience at CorePM, is this an investing role or more leaning toward the portfolio allocation side. Thx!
Did anyone else receive invitations to areas that they did not apply for?
didn't happen to me, but I know that sometimes BlackRock will switch/add additional depts if they think your resume/experience has a better fit with another dept
Yep can confirm, they just randomly added me
Anyone heard back from First Round interviews?
I have a first round interview for their Trading SA program this week.
Do you go to target or are you diversity?
Nontarget. Asian female.. you decide
When did you submit your application for trading?
July 23rd. Finished my first round today. Half hour video call. Will update when I hear back.
How long after you submitted the HireVue did anyone hear back? It's been almost 2 weeks since I submitted mine and nothing yet.
About a month. Submitted July 23 and first-round Aug 28.
thanks!
Has anyone who did a first round on Aug 28 heard yet?
Flying out to NYC for superday September 20.
have people heard back? anyone?
.
Has anyone heard back from their first round int? SD invite?
Has anyone heard back who applied through the founders scholarship/diversity program?
I haven't either -- the recruiter literally doesn't respond to emails
I forgot to clarify. I mean has anyone heard back after the first round video chat? I had my hirevue and first round over skype.
did first round zoom video interview on the 28th, flying out for the superday on sept 20. global trading group NYC
Did you apply for the Trading, Liquidity and Lending summer analyst program?
Was contacted by a recruiter and applied August 1st for Founders Scholarship, I also know a senior director there and he referred me but I still haven't heard back. Messaged the recruiter on August 19th and she didn't get back to me. Has anyone heard back yet?
Did anyone apply to the Corp dev role and get a first round?
I had first round interview for founders scholarship on August 16th and heard back for superday in 30th. I’m flying out for a superday in SF on September 13
Do you know of other people who have been notified?
can I PM you?
Sure
Has anyone heard back from NYC office?
Just got this email for 2020 NYC Alternatives:
'Hi xxxxxxx,
Thank you for submitting your application to the position at BlackRock.
We are currently in the process of reviewing your application and we will be in contact with you shortly.
Best,
BlackRock Campus Recruiting
did you have e first round yet?
I got the same email, didn't specify which group though
anybody applied to equity/fixed income?
Just got SD for Alternative Specialists for the Founder's Scholarship program.
Today I got invited to a SD with Fundamental Active Equity Investing through the Founders Scholarship. Anyone else going to be at the NY interviews next Friday?
me too fam
Same here
Same here.
Is this the same as Equities? When was your interview? Would appreciate it if you could let us know.
Yes, this is equities under investing. I had my first round on 08/26.
See you there! im in for global trending
Thanks for the info. I submitted the apps on 8/27 - will there be another round of interview?
If you applied late August, you aren’t being considered for the Founders Scholarship (BlackRock’s diversity recruiting effort). I don’t think they have even started interviewing regular candidates but someone can correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks for the info - I did fill out yes for the Founder scholarship part in the app. That being said, will I still be considered in the regular round since Founder is not a separate application but embedded in 2020SA ?
Anyone applied to the FT program? If so, has anyone heard back since the hirevue?
Applied for Fixed Income and Alternatives PMG, have not heard back yet
Does anyone know the official deadline? I have seen sept 19 and Oct 11
Founders Scholarship applicant here. My superday is on Sept 27th.
When did you get your first round!
had my first round on sept 4th
What department?
Had my superday yesterday!
What department?
Has BlackRock started interviewing? I applied back in early August and have not heard anything.
Anyone hear back after the 9/20 superday? The team seemed to really like me but I was told I should hear in 1-2 weeks.
I haven't heard anything yet. One of the members of the campus recruitment team said that we'll receive a call with either good or bad news.
Which division/position was your 9/20 superday for?
Heard back this morning. Got the offer. I believe they're calling all applicants to extend offers today.
I got a call from an unknown number when I was in an exam this morning. Did they call you from an unknown number by chance?
What position?
When did you get your superday?
9/20
Has anyone else heard back from the 9/20 superday?
I haven't heard back at all yet.
me neither
Which team did you interview for?
Has anyone heard applied to the full time program in the US? Anyone hear back?
Hey did you hear back? no update after hirevue for me
Nope not yet.
Has anyone who applied for Corp Dev SA heard back?
Yeah. I got an offer in Corp Strat + Dev.
Congrats! When did you apply/ when were your interviews?
The was for FT? How long after your superday did you hear back?
Can anyone who interviewed with PEP DM me - would love to to hear what types of questions you were asked for SD and FirstR.
Has anyone who interviewed for fixed income (core PM) heard back?
Has anyone who Interviewed on 9/20 for Equities/ Fixed Income/ Multi Asset Strategies heard back?
Have a lot of people heard back from the 9/20 superday yet? I know some people heard back as late as this past Friday so I don't know if they are still making offers or not.
Nope. nothing yet. I do know few people who have had the offers already tho.
Actually, I heard back today around 5pm and got an offer for ETF & Index Investing
Congrats!!!
I missed a call from the recruiter earlier because I was in class. When I called her back she was already off work. Does anyone know if they're only calling successful candidates or everybody? Has anyone gotten a rejection yet?
Don't worry too much, you won't know until you hear directly from them. Just stay positive and give them a call tomorrow morning when the office opens!
Have you found out the results evetually?
From what I've heard BlackRock calls for both rejections and acceptances if you're in the final stages
How long does it take to hear back from the first round interview (interview with 2 VP over skype)?
Usually one week, or a little more. I got final round interview invitation after one week!
It took me about a month to get my super day invite after my video interviews, so I think it really depends! I ended up getting an offer at the first NYC super day at the end of September, but I know they will continue recruiting until around Thanksgiving if they have the same schedule as last year.
are u diversity / founders scholar applicant? only know diversity kids are receiving offers/intvs rn and havent heard any non-div getting yet so just trynna stay current
Once you got the offer, how long was your deadline to accept or reject the offer
does anyone where blackrock is in the process of recruiting? are position filled? i know PAG in SF does, but what about other groups? submitted the virtual cover letter in sept and have not heard anything back yet
I believe NYC still has room for PAG, and I know for a fact that the Atlanta is still very open in terms of positions. I accepted my offer in early September and was told that other interns would be rolling in until about the end of the year. However, Atlanta is mostly tech roles
thanks!
Is anybody here applying for a STEM role? Received an offer from BlackRock in the PAG group about a month ago in the Atlanta office but haven't seemed to meet anybody in a similar boat
Hi, just curious, do you know how many interns does the PAG team usually take? I did the hirevue last month.
hey! i actually dont know, but someone I know working at SF PAG said intern positions were filled in her office in mid-Sept
PAG is one of BlackRock's smallest groups with only around 120 worldwide. There were only less than 20 people in pag in sf, and they had only 4-5 interns for PAG. can't speak about NYC, and I was told that 30-35 other interns would be joining me in atlanta, but I imagine only a small portion will be pag
Hey is there anyone who has finished his HireVue in the EMEA region in the investment division? Have a few small questions! Thanks
Sure, just ask.
Did you receive an answer ?
when does BlackRock finish recruiting? specifically for NY
Does anyone know the recruiting process/timeline for Trading, Liquidity, and Lending Summer Analyst in New York?
Did anyone apply for financial markets advisory and had an interview? would like to ask some questions
When did you submit your application for financial markets advisory and when did you receive the interview invite?
Anyone able to tell me what first rounds are like? I know call is with 2 associates
depends for what you're applying for. which position?
Anyone heard back from RQA FT? Had a first round interview nearly two weeks ago but no word from BLK.
Did you ever hear back from RQA? If so when and how were you contacted? I’m still waiting
I just got the rejection email.
From APAC here (Singapore/Hong Kong), has anyone heard back for their Real Assets team? I've applied about a month back for SA 2020 and still haven't heard back
I applied for the "Investments - Equities" and "Investments - Alts" teams in early August (NY office) and still haven't heard anything. Anyone else in the same boat / already heard back for these roles?
I applied in the same time frame but for different roles in NY and never heard anything
I think they are not that structured except for the Founder's round.
Got the equities interview by networking, and you should be prepared for the interviews because they are looking for no more than 5 interns in equities at most I would say. It's possible that they haven't filled their spots yet
Anyone superday'ing for global fixed income? IF anyone has already done it wondering if you could dm?
Has anyone heard back from Equities yet? New York location
Anybody do a GFI superday today? Curious how your experience went?
It was honestly not what I was expecting. I got the impression that they had other candidates in mind. It was barely technical.
Curious on what technicals they could ask? They aren't gonna make you sit down and do bond math no? Is it just like "What is a yield curve" type stuff?
anyone have their super day in ETF & Index Investing full time yet?
when did you do your first round/when did you apply?
I think they're conducting their FT superdays soon - there's one in SF coming up this week, but not sure if it's for all of the teams within ETF & Index Investing (since there's multiple teams you could work for here)
when did they find out/how long after the first-round did they find out about the superday this week?
