I was contacted to have the first interview with BD of Point72. They got my CV through a HH. I have 3 years of experience (all of them on the buy side as equity analyst).
- What are they looking for in candidates? Any info about behavioural fit would be helpful
- What should I expect from this first call? Deep dive on what I'm doing, my motivations, else?
- Any additional info is welcomed

Hey OP, I realise this is old but I have a very similar background and have a call with BD coming up. Can you provide any insights into what topics they focused on during the call? Thanks
Interested too
They focused mostly on:
Nothing too complicated. They received CV from HH - it was for London. Was already working for another HF.
