It's Wellington's program for hiring Research Associates out of school who they can develop into becoming analysts. There's an internship program (targeted towards women and URMs, but not exclusively) and a full-time one as well (new grads and experienced hires with 1-3 years experience). Very competitive program, with multiple phone screens and a final round where you have 90 minutes to pitch one of two names they give you to a committee.

I had an exploratory call about the internship program, but ended up taking another offer since Wellington recruits fairly late for interns (mid-late fall of junior year). Can't say much about return offer rates, but comp is probably in-line or a slight haircut to IB (~$150k TC). 

 

Any insight into how hard it is to go from this program to an analyst at Wellington? Also is comp stagnant (150k each year) or does is increase year over year? It looks like this is a 3 year or so program from the website

 

Bump, looking for how hard it is to make the transition to analyst

 

Sweet, that’s really helpful! Do you know if comp is stagnant over the course of the program? (Just a consideration with student loans)

 

Bump. Looks like the program takes a ton of girls from Wellesley College? What’s up with that? Not that Wellesley isn’t a great school, but it’s really not known for finance. Isn’t this like one of the hardest programs to get into anywhere in finance?
