Just got the VCL after applying months ago for PEP/ASG, anyone know if PEP does any direct at all or if LTPC is in PEP?
weird. i got the hirevue right after applying. i submitted earlier this month tho
Which group did you apply to? What did the questions look like?
What did they ask in the hirevue.
Have not done it yet but probably something related to why this group then tell me about something related in the news to this group.
Hi. What were the hirevue questions
Got a first round invitation for Fixed Income FFI CorePM - New York Group , is this just Fixed Income Portfolio Management or what does CorePM stand for lol
Got invited for first round FI but in municipal bonds group (Princeton) good luck to you mate, we got this
What were the hirevue questions
Did you get an invite for the Super day. Just had my super day for the same role on Friday.
Any update for anyone after first round? I completed my first round for NY alternatives last week. Nothing for me yet.
same. no update
Did you receive a Blackrock Application Update email before getting invited for your interview?
No. HR emailed directly to schedule first round. Just received that status update email today, so probably everyone gets it today?
Does anyone know what questions to expect for second round (alternative group)?
what group within alternatives?
i haven’t heard anything after my R1 for alternatives. has anyone gotten super day or rejection?
Nope, still nothing unfortunately. It's been just a week though so I wouldn't worry yet.
1-2 weeks I'd say is ordinary. Correct me if I'm wrong
Does anyone have updates on Blackrock London FT? Applied to alternatives and yet to hear back
Finished first round for FI at BlackRock on Friday, let's see how this goes. Good luck to all.
For thier London office? Heard they returned everyone for FI for their internship
what was first round like? got FIG first round and no idea if it should be technical / with a member/HR?
For me it was mainly behavioral, some questions around the 5 principles and also a couple of direct technical questions directly related to the role/team. I did mine a week ago and still waiting for feedback and next steps. Best of luck for yours!
I resonate with what @randomdudeinfinance said, I had pretty much the exact experience. I also took it last week and am currently waiting. Hopefully we are colleagues in the future.
Behavioral mostly. How do you work in teams with examples? How do you handle pressure ? They asked me to explain how I analyzed some data in my resume. Know everything in your resume. How is the market condition ? Have you used any data analysis tools? How ? They literally asked me to mention Blackrock principles too.
omg thank you guys all so so much they were super helpful. my interview too was super behavioral. the guy talked to me for like 15 mins and spent the rest of the time asking if i had any question for him. any idea on how superdays are like?? still waiting on results
Yeah mate, cheers to that. How many people do you reckon get invited to a first round interview? I'm just curious to understand how selective the HireVue is.
Also, I'll let you all know whenever I get an update/feedback from the team.
I thought everyone who was selected for first round was selected already. Might be wrong. Finished my superday a week ago
Oh wow. If I may ask, when did you have the 1st round and how long did it take after that to be invited to the superday? Are you also for FI? thanks for the info mate.
Bump,would like to know also
Wasn't FI. I got invited a week after first round but I really bonded with my first round interviewer. despite this, still waiting to hear back after SD.
Hey I applied to FI but Atlanta. Had first round on the 4th of Nov, and received invite for final round on Wednesday, then had the super day yesterday (11th). Hoping for the best.
Thanks for the feedback my internet friend, always valuable information. Really appreciate that.
May I ask if you could give some info of how the superday was for you? like how many interviews, tecnhical or behavioral, etc?
Also, if I didn't hear anything after 1 week from my 1st round, do you think I got canned or just a matter of time?
It’s my pleasure to share, we’re in this together. This is my first time applying for a job in financial services so I don’t know much but most guys who have made it in my school told me they usually decide within a week or two after the first round.
For the super day interviews, I had three rounds with three VP’s. Mostly behavioral but a little bit deeper. I remember a question like: explain how you sent a complex written report and people didn’t understand it, what did you do ? How do you respond to criticisms? What will people say about your strengths and weaknesses? Pitch me Chevron stock (I mentioned I analyzed chevron in my resume). Why did you choose this location? Explain to me this project you did ? Tell me the predictive algorithms you used in this project? (Mentioned in resume). But overall they were very friendly and it was conversational. I asked them a couple of questions tailored to their profiles too and they seemed to like it. Hoping for the best but Im told it’s really competitive and I feel lucky to have even made it to the interviews given my unusual background. I wish you best in your final round. Hopefully they’ll respond to you next week.
Anyone know what the hell Office of the CIO is? Sounds mega back office I applied for PEP but interviewed there instead (not by choice)
Your interpretation is correct.
Can you please elaborate? Im so confused why it would be placed under “Investments” in Alternatives.
Any idea??
i received an offer from PEP last week for FT in London
Bump
Has anyone heard back after superday/final round??My superday was 2+ weeks ago, losing hope.
Nope, I haven't heard back and it'd be two weeks this Thursday. What location and division did you apply to?
Had my super day last friday for fixed income atlanta, i guess i'll have a longer wait. anyone knows if they call or email?
Still waiting for a response after my 1st round ahah. Not sure what to think at this point. It was 10 days ago so I'm a bit worried
I have for the same role and position. Had my super day on Friday. Waiting for the call. Hope we both get it. I have heard that it takes around 2 weeks for them to get back to you. How was your experience btw?
Which BlackRock location is everyone currently in the process at?
I think NY office ppl are just waiting to hear back from SDs.
Are there anyone out there who received interview not for FI?
I know of a classmate that got the 1st round for an Alternatives team in the UK. Haven't heard since though. It's been about 3 weeks for him too. Seems in line with everyone else waiting period. Not sure what is taking this long and if in the meantime they keep on having 1st round interviews with other candidates. For what team did you interview and where if I may ask?
Welp… I’m also still waiting (on week 3) after what seemed to be an amazing first round…
Has anyone heard back from the Alternatives team in Atlanta after the super day?
Received an interesting email saying that "BlackRock is still in the process of making hiring decisions and we appreciate your patience. You will be updated on the status of your application shortly."Sounds like I'm being waitlisted or the hiring freeze is in effect… thoughts? FI group in NY/NJ
Hey, just came across this thread and wanted to update you. Also interviewing for FI in NY. Did my first round on the first week in November and had a superday earlier this week. Haven't heard anything back yet. Good Luck!
Cheers!
i received this email today 3 weeks after my final round interviews…
Still waiting on a feedback for me. In the meantime I'm trying to prepare in case of a final round...
For the final round I've read that usually it is 2x30min interviews and then an excel and written tests. Does anyone know how these are structured and could give any details of what kind of questions/tasks are included? Also, for the final round interviews (2x30min), did you have any direct technical questions or mainly being up to date on current events, CV based and judgment? Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks and best of luck to all of you!
Still radio silence for me. Does anyone have updates of any kind?
Did anyone here have any interviews so far for the 2023 Wealth Advisory Analyst position in NYC?
Anybody got insights into London RE FT?
Does anyone know how long blackrock take to give offers after the final round interviews? For London SA
Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back after Superday (Atlanta) alternatives?
They are supposedly in a hiring freeze but are still allowing for some first year hires...
Just saw a ft alternatives london offer on LinkedIn, so the rest of us should be hearing back soon…
Has anyone who completed super day for New York received updates/an offer?
Hey everyone! Checking back in; any updates? Still radio silence for me after my superday
Hey! I havent hear back yet either.
Got an offer today from RE private equity team! Base is 100K lets goo
If you don’t mind me asking, how long were you waiting for a response? Congrats
Congratulations! Which office?
New York
Haven't heard back after my AC 2 and a half weeks ago, should I give up hope?
Update from me: I got dinged… good luck to everyone else still in the process. I got sent the email 2 weeks ago now
Are there still currently open positions at BLK right now?
