Endowment Return Offer?

Hi guys,

I am a current junior and will be starting an internship at an endowment of size ~$10bn this summer. As far as I know the endowment is pretty big with around 60 employees. I was recently notified that there will be three interns including me working for them this summer.

Here are my questions. How many analysts do endowments generally hire per class? Is the return offer mine to lose or will it be a battle for a single spot for the three interns? I am not too familiar with how endowments hire, so would appreciate some insight on this. Thanks.

Hiring/recruiting is completely different for every e&f

Most analysts I know are hired and work at endowments with stellar resumes, top schools, high GPA, strong interest in investing, prior work experience, etc.. However, to stay in the endowment (i.e. get promoted to associate/next level) they have excellent interpersonal skills, time/deal management, maturity, and are basically on top of everything.

Much of the work, at least at the e&f's I'm familiar with, is largely qualitative and less quantitative. It does vary of course.

 

Magnam ducimus expedita labore ipsa. Dolorem veniam impedit animi eaque explicabo.

Placeat ab quod dicta. Quo dignissimos perferendis velit earum. Neque ex et eum veritatis dolores assumenda. Rem omnis mollitia sed sequi rerum nemo.

Numquam repudiandae consequatur et blanditiis dolores consequatur. Molestiae nobis sint animi. Et a necessitatibus est.

Earum voluptatem et totam omnis. Iste sed iusto ut optio. Distinctio qui ea iste delectus.
