Bridgewater SA 2023

Just wanted to start a thread for Bridgewater's SA 2023 class. I got an email from a campus recruiter today (I'm a diversity candidate) for the Investment Immersion Program this Spring. Is anyone else in the same boat?

Also, if anyone has previously worked at Bridgewater can you share some insight? Would be greatly appreciated :)

Did you apply online or were you contacted by a recruiter? I only see the investment engineering intern position open for summer 23. 

 

No idea, I want to say no because they wrapped up diversity stuff I was doing in May. I know AQR is opening recruiting soon. You can google the internship interest form and fill it out. (Granted you want to work at a macro HF)
