Guessing this is for HK?
Had friends in the later waves and there's been already a wave of rejections (some had strong backgrounds so was surprised). Think SG filled already (1 of 1?) but HK should just be starting. Not much color on this other than how most of them would want a native Mandarin speaker/well-versed in China/HK markets. Good luck!
Hey this is actually for SG. So you know people that have been offered for SG already? Do you know what sector?
Hi, no clue about that as I'm not from SG. The friends were rejected but I don't think I heard of anyone getting an offer? Have some understanding of the industry and there are only a few teams in SG, and to my understanding, only 1 team looking to hire. It's pod-dependent unlike the banks per se and the process tends to be a crapshoot at times.
Am not with C so take the above with a grain of salt (informed guesses/general knowledge of the MMHF scene), but wish you all the best regardless!
Hi - my case was basically: what do you think of company (is it a long or short), what are the key drivers, what does the business do, what questions do you have for management, what would you do with more time. I just went through the Point72 test and case study and found a really good website; hycalibre(dot)com (WSO won’t let me post for some reason). They have a 48h Citadel case study there too (with a model) - and I assume P72 and Citadel tests will be similar. I found Hycalibre case study really helpful to understand what do to/what I should be expected to produce in the short time frame. Really recommended. Good luck and hope that helps!
Hi! The Hycalibre site is down. Could you please DM the case study and other relevant materials for prepping for cases and online modeling tests?
