I was wondering whether anybody had any input on this. Is it just based on CV books? (Pre)-training test results? Other parameters? Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks





Everything and anything. We
Everything and anything. We used to use kids that were summers in our group that were returning to report back to us on who was smart, good with excel, and fun to be around. And of course, we ranked based on our 3 on 2 interviews. You'd be surprised how much pull the analysts have, at least in my old group. The analysts and younger associates did all the interviews.
Thanks for this Gametheory.
Thanks for this Gametheory. Any thoughts on how useful it is to reach out frequently to people in the group in which you're interested? It seems like a lot of the decision-making is based on opinions gleaned from other people (e.g returning summers etc.) - though I have heard that it is often people at the analyst level who can really make a difference.
