Academy Associate
General Interview Information
Interview Details
2) Case study on company they choose, write-up and model - Q2 earnings were a week after it was due and the stock had a big move. If you get the right direction and have a good write-up you move on. Nobody asked about the model so nothing fancy.
3) Interview with HR - mostly behavioral and asking about your past experiences and why P72/hedge funds. New HR team got hired in 2021 so the 'gotcha' questions from 2020 and earlier are no longer relevant.
4) Interview with Academy Coach - they will grill the shit out of your case study pitch as well as another pitch you should have ready. Ask about assumptions, business model, valuation, anything. This is the hardest stage.
5) Interview with Sector Executive - ask a bit about the case but more laidback. More focused on mindset/mentality, that you show humility but also serious drive. Overall a nice conversation where you should just be open.
6) Interviews with 2 PMs - be prepared to talk about the case, they will have your write-up, but much more relaxed than with the coaches and similar to the sector exec interview where you're having a nice conversation and discussing why HF/why P72.
7) Optional: Get another offer. Firm seems to massively value you being in late-stage interviews with a competitor or just having another offer on the table. 3rd-party validation. I don't know if they extend offers without you having another one nearby.
