Citadel/HF Advice

Hi everyone,

Recently accepted an SA offer from Citadel as a liberal arts student. I'll be working with different investment teams throughout the summer. Super worried that I won't be on the same level as my peers this summer in terms of technical knowledge. 

Does anyone who works/worked/interned at Citadel have any advice for me in terms of what I should work on? Any general advice on acing my internship this summer? Are there any specific resources you would recommend? Please feel free to chime in if you work for a similar fund as well. Any and all advice is appreciated.

It's in GE/Surveyor. They have a very small internship program.

Hi I believe it's Citadel's newly launched CAP program. Would you mind if I ask a few questions? I'm a sophomore and looking to apply next year if the program's still there
