Citadel: Rejected by HR but senior portfolio manager willing to send my resume

hi so i just got rejected by citadel for a 2024 internship I had applied for around a week back. But I just spoke to a senior portfolio manager who is willing to forward my resume to HR. I have not told the portfolio manager that I just got rejected for the same round.


What should i do?

 

Tried the same, remember, they will reject you again if the PM doesn’t vouch for you. The forwarding the resume part has become rampant these days but in structured firms such as these it will not work unless that PM wants you in his team. Don’t get your hopes up because I tried the same with a firm in the same league and mine got rejected again. My 2 cents.

 

Maybe. Depends on how close PM is to you personally, not your parents or family etc. From what I heard, PMs reserve their right to nominate an employee for specific cases that they don't often use. Forwarding your resume to HR and a personal recommendation are two different things. There is also a factor of who he forwarded it to, let's say HR-A got your resume and is looking out for it, HR-B saw your application and rejected it, this happens too. There is a reason why networking doesn't work as efficiently in these MM shops.
