Anyone know senior analyst pay
It's now shutting down. lmao.
Full Sundays per friend who interviewed there. Depends on your age, but if you can stomach a tough culture for a marketable PM name, then might be worth it. Any pod PM will have you working half a Sunday anyway and candlestick akin to landing at one of the top pod seats out there.
I worked for JW for years. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. Everything I know today stemmed from him, he changed my life and I’m forever grateful. Probably the most impactful person in my professional life.
He’s even better than they say. Lights out. Full Sundays / 80 hr wks, who cares. He’ll take care of you and you’ll learn a ton. Tough love but he is an EXCELLENT PM / mentor / teacher. He’s killing it.
If you’re a junior, I’d highly recommend working for him.
Hmm, guy started as a B4 accountant, that's an interesting trajectory. Wonder what his story is
Best 2 PMs I know (not JW) started as big 4 accountants
gonna continue meatriding lil bro
Be prepared for ‘when was the last time you were yelled at’ question
LOLZ whats a good way to answer this
Best logo in the game
Took me a second to get it but yea that’s clever 🤣🤣
Funny cause name is 'Candlestick' which reminds me of technical analysis gurus on Youtube but it's a fundamental equity HF lol
What has their perf been like recently?
It hasn’t been great tbh. Idk why people are saying differently
what are they?
bump
bump. Interviewing of Sr. Associate position. can anyone please provide additional insights (culture / performance / comp. for Sr. As.)?
How did it go?
How does Candlestick compare to Woodline Partners for pay/prestige/learning?

Thank you for your response. Can you elaborate?
