Hey everyone, just saw that Vista has an SA program for 2021, and there wasn't a thread yet. Does anyone have any insight to the process? I know theres the CCAT upon applying, but if anyone has info on timelines, what the interviews are like or anything else, that would be awesome. Also how much networking, if any, have you guys done?

Only one I saw was for FT
Yea sorry bout that.
Also in case you couldn't tell, I've mostly been focused on IB so idk how PE SA recruiting works
deleted original message, will revise later

I believe the format is similar to the full time analyst recruiting (IQ test -> phone screens -> superday with IQ test and case study) with the initial IQ test having a significant impact on your progression
bump any updates
Haven’t heard back, deadline was this weekend
anyone have any insights on the interview process? I know the IQ test scores largely decides first round selection, but what are interviews like?
I’ve heard that networking really isn’t too important there. Seems like they are too busy and generally don’t care enough to talk to 10 random juniors per day lol
Rejected. Did IQ test 1 week ago. good luck everyone
When did you hear back?
yesterday
anyone else hear back?
bump
Rejected as well, about 2weeks after I did my CCAT
bump
Dinged
has anyone heard about an interview?
bump
Anyone have insight into the interview process? Just got a first round
not sure but congrats-- when's the first round for?
Next week
Anyone done the first round? What types of questions did they ask? Was it mostly behavioral?
when did you hear back? haven't heard anything since applying so not sure if im rejected
On like the 13th
are all first rounds out? never got a rejection so was feeling hopeful but seems unlikely now
Ya, sorry man. HR laid out the schedule and the only first rounds are this week.
Got a first-round, anyone has insights on what questions look like?
behavioral
Thanks!
So it looks like first rounds are just rolling out and they’re not all being released at once? Anyone have insight?
i think all first rounds would be out by now
Second rounds will be happening this week according to recruiter, so first round invites should have all gone out
Recruiter said second rounds are happening the week of the 31st, not this week
Anyone get a second round yet?
Has anyone heard back about second rounds? They're supposed to be this week right?
.
Just heard back about second round
2nd round, heard back
When is the second round? And when did you guys hear back
I think most were this week unless there was a scheduling issue.
did my second round today
Had second rd this week. Anyone know when we should expect to hear back for SD?
What type of questions did they ask in the 2nd round? Was it more or less like the first round?
They just gave out offers tonight
Why would they just skip the SD? Was there an accelerated process? I'm in touch with a recruiter and there should have only been one timeline.
recruiter told me they don't accelerate
Anyone hear back about superday?
Just got the invite email
.
.
People who finished superdays yesterday / today, when do you think we'll hear back?
recruiter said early next week but last year they made calls on friday
Solid, fingers crossed we'll hear today then!
Did any of you hear back today? I haven't yet
I haven’t, I’m nervous if that means we got cut or if everyone’s hearing next week
Anything yet today?
i haven't head anything
anyone heard back yet?
got rejected last week
