Current Internship Processes for HF

I know there are a lot of lists like these but I wanted to offer the most updated ones as the sophomore internship world is kind of on fire rn (most IBs got rid of their programs, Advent got rid of their PE intern group)

I just want to list this out since things change year over year and anyone who knows current processes feel free to let us know. This is besides the big 4 pod shops or bridgewater, mostly single digit or 15 bn HF.

Illo beatae nihil adipisci pariatur. Sint dolore animi facilis quas pariatur. Et iure unde sit repellat ad. Hic dolor nobis suscipit aut debitis iusto. Nemo eos amet rem ut porro voluptas.
