I was recently invited to participate in a preliminary interview for the 2019 Summer Academy Program at Point72. I am wondering given my educational background what the entire process will be like. I am an economics major and have not been exposed to a ton of finance and accounting classes, so I am not sure if they would still require me to know a lot of technical questions. Obviously I can learn technical's, but that would be me memorizing an answer as opposed to me actually understanding the question asked. Also if anyone has any suggested materials to read or study that would be great too.
Thanks in advance

Had a nice talk with a short-only shop recently, we talked about Point72 and his advice was "I will never hire you if you work at Point72.. Steve Cohen is a bad guy and it shows your character if you want to work with people like that"
Keep the reputation of the fund in mind as you go through your process.
Short-only strategy also says a lot about that guy's personality as well
FWIW I think he’s cleaned up a lot of past misdeeds of late. And point72 was part of his process of cleaning things up. I believe it’s deisgned to train the next generation of traders in a style that won’t rely on inside information.
He’s clearly extremely passionate about trading.
Just curious, is everyone who did the HireVue invited to their summer networking event? Any suggestions if I am planning to go?
Haven't gotten a HireVue but was invited to the networking event
I got the invite after I finished the HireVue, so i wonder if that has any correlation. Pretty cool event tho
What'd you think of the HireVue? Still waiting for the opportunity...
Me too. But apparently some people who haven’t finished HireVue are invited as well.
I did the HireVue last night too. Got the networking invite today. Going to go to try and supplement my application.
How long after submitting your resume did you get the HireVue?
around 2 weeks
did hirevue saturday got invite monday
Did anyone get the video interview call yet and what are they expecting? I still have to submit my HireVue
yeah I did the video interview. super chill
