I applied as soon as the application opened and will have a first round in the next 2 weeks.
Bump
Just got dinged. GL to anyone still in the process
Dinged as in interview?
Probably got school/gpa screened out. Only good thing going for me is my current internship, I just applied for exhaustivity. I applied on June 22nd if that helps
Applied early june but havent heard anything yet.
Is it open to sophomores?
Bump - anyone hear back after a first round?
applied with ModernGuild and haven’t heard back at all lmao oof anyone else had this issue? I thought DES was pretty good with rejection letters so either they haven’t even reviewed or I got fucked so hard they wouldn’t even bother lol
Same here
Applied in July. Had another writing sample requested. Have not heard back since. Anybody got a first round? Are they still going thru interviews?
I got an email from HR with a link to edit my application and password. At the end of the application, there was added section asking if I'd be interested in their renewable investment teams/portfolio strategies? type of role. Anyone else got this?
Got first round for prop trading, anyone have any advice on how to prep? WSO database is kinda empty.
have you done yours?
yeah but havent heard back. PM if you wanna talk more
Got first round fundamental research. What do they expect? How do interviews go?
Anyone in the generalist intern process?
me too, have you had your interview yet?
Did my first round and superday, now onto the final round. What about you?
how long did it take for you to hear back after first round and after superday?
Anyone get a coding challenge from these guys? Do they send them to all the quants?
Finished first round FR. Havent heard back. Anyone know how many interviews we get in total?
First round --> case study --> superday --> ??
Has anyone heard back about a fundamental research superday or know what to expect during one?
-
Did you have a first round and case study before final round?
I submitted my case study at the beginning of August and am still waiting to hear back.
Did you have one or two interviews before your case study?
Did anyone hear back from the case study about a superday and if so how long after submitting?
any updates?
did anyone get an offer for London yet? if so, when did you apply?
Anyone at the reference stage ?
Yes
Yes to the reference stage ^
Have you also progressed to the reference stage?
I got through to the reference stage and submitted references + background check for London.
hello mate, got an invite to the spd - could I check what kinds of questions were asked? tia!
Is this for London or NY?
Just applied for prop, how long before y'all heard any word from them? I haven't even received a confirmation email from submission
Hey nice! How far along the process are you at this point?
Applied in Aug, heard from them early Oct, so about two months.
I passed a couple of rounds
First interview --> case study --> Second Interview
Not sure if the second interview is what some people above refer to as the superday. Now I am waiting to hear from them
Have you heard back after your second round? What comes after the second round?
