Point72 Academy Case Study

Hi friends, haven't seen a thread about the Point72 Academy recently, so figured I would start one.


I applied for the experienced academy a few days ago and received a case study today. Very odd to me as I've never received a case study before even having an HR screen. Anyway, do we have any idea of odds of actually progressing beyond this round? It's an extremely long case study, which normally I wouldn't mind, however it seems like they send hundreds of these out and hardly anyone progresses beyond this.


Adding to the weirdness is the fact that I didn't even receive the questionnaire that a lot of people have mentioned online. The email with the case study was very curt. This makes me feel the effort is even less likely to yield results.


Thanks!

 

Ah well, that's what sucks about buyside recruiting - they make you do so many detailed case studies and ask for pitches, then just ghost at the last round, wasting dozens of hours. Just gotta push thru it, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

 

Same here. Just submitted my case. It’s actually quite an intensive project given most candidates got a day job.

It seems many ppl got case invites. Still curious about when will they get back? Timeline didn’t get mentioned much in old posts, guess primary reason is most ppl got ghosted.

 

Hey can I ask doing follow-up is actually okay? It seems like everything sent to P72 professionals has to go thru compliance first. Can i just send thank you letter to people who're in charge of my case study directly? Much appreciated!

 

Curious too... I submitted the case study 1.5wk ago but haven't heard anything back. Hopefully they're still distributing cases and didn't look at our cases yet. Is there a solid no if we don't get responses in a given time-frame?
