Surveyor / Global Equities Case Study

I'm a 2nd year analyst at a BB participating in a case study for Surveyor / Global Equities at Citadel. I know this has been covered, but does anyone know what to expect for pods that are focused on a niche industry (e.g., oil & gas, real estate, FIG, etc.)? I'm in a consumer retail coverage group at my BB and the team knows that I have no experience in their particular industry. Would the case study involve a typical cash flow business or do I have to learn how to build a model for that specific sector in preparation for the case study?

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
