PIMCO Alternative Credit SA 2022
Confirmed with HR that the Alternative Credit and Private Strategies Group is their only investment role out of undergrad that pays on par to EB/credit MFs. They started developing this program less than two years ago. Has anyone received a Sparkhire/first-round interview?
Bump
Can you drop your username so I can PM you
Did HR say what the salary/bonus was?
just learned that they don't accelerate :(
of course not... its PIMCO, look at the role too
Got an offer of equal caliber which is why I was surprised, but I guess I shouldn’t have been
del
Do you know what comp would look like in this role?
Would guess $140-170k all-in for Analysts, 200-300k for Associates, 350k-450k for VPs, 500K - $2M for PMs and SVPs as carry kicks in. Based on friends from Ares and GS.
How flexible is the mandate? Do they invest in non sponsor deals?
bump
Also, no one beats their location.
True. Beautiful beaches and LA babes in Newport Beach. Believe they also have a NYC office as well. If I had a seat there I'd never leave lmao
bump
Apparently some people got sparkvues? Can anyone confirm this?
How do you know this?
have a current intern who said some might be sent out, but its rolling so unsure how the process works
Does everyone applying for this position have prior IB experience?
That or prior buy-side experience probably
Checked LinkedIn and it seems like last year's SA class most had IB or top buy-side experience.

Does anyone know how difficult it is to land this?
del
Yeah I figured it'd be tough. You gunning for it?
I'm familiar with this group- SD was three 2 on 1 interviews last year and was surprisingly behavioral but it could be different now. But its a great group with really smart people yeah
Can confirm first-round Sparkhire received.
when did u receive it?
Can I pm you about this?
My friend said she got a final round today
anyone have info on the spark hire questions?
Any updates?
They are doing superdays and offers on a rolling basis. Have a friend who got an offer on Friday another who has a superday this week!
bump
Had a superday 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. Does this mean I didn’t get it? If you get an offer do they usually tell you immediately?
It varies. Be patient. Person close to me went though the hiring process with PIMCO 18 months ago. Wasn't notified until a month or so after superday. He is currently an employee at PIMCO, albeit in a different role.
I heard back 3 days after the superday. You're either on the waitlist or you got dinged. Sorry.
i reached out to hr for an update and they said i’ll hear back this week… is it just gonna be a rejection lol

Did you get the offer?
What was the superday like?
Anyone else get a SD?
Got one for this Friday (10/22).
.
Does anyone have some insights into the SparkHire questions?
Prepare for lots of technicals and not enough time to prep. Just kidding, it's a pretty regular SparkHire.
First time for me doing a SparkHire so not sure what the style is. Is it like a HireVue where time to prep is capped and you only have one try? Or is it something different. Also regarding HireVues so far I just had mostly personal/fit questions and not really much technical stuff.
It seems they already finished recruiting for the alts group?
London is done for the alts group
Damn..
I got invited to a superday for London at the end of January
Did anyone see the recent website update? Apparently their alts AUM grew from $33B to $130B in 2021 alone... no wonder they're hiring analysts
Source: https://www.pimco.com/en-us/alternatives
It looks like this number grew so much because Pimco took over Allianz Real Estate. ~$100B of assets it appears
Anyone got updates on the final say?
I applied early to CRE research internship in London and got no response whatsoever. Heard they only hired people with banking and PE experience only, not sure if it's correct
Anyone who has news after SD? How long in general to hear back? Thanks
Offers have been out
I interviewed this week in London and still haven't heard. I was wondering when I can expect to have news
lol it's gonna be a rejection.. thanks!
How competitive is their credit analyst program?
Credit research is one of the hardest roles to land at PIMCO. If you're referring to post MBA credit analyst roles then it's even more competitive.
Would you know if it’s more or less competitive compared to other post MBA LO fund roles? Coming from a T15 school
Heard that they hire 1 full time per year in Credit Research from a friend at HBS/GSB so I’d say that makes the role arguably more difficult than the other major LO funds (Fidelity hires like >3 for the summer, Capital is round the same)
can someone shed some light on their real estate team? heard great things about the culture but am not sure about deal flow, pay, and exit options
