BD at AQR Cap

Hi,

It would be great if anyone could shed some light on the BD team at AQR. What the BD team does, exit opps, prestige, etc. I saw that they have 2021 summer apps open so if anyone could share their timeline or any information on their summer recruiting it would be helpful.

Thanks

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I recently had my first roadmap meeting with a mentor from WSO Academy, and it was truly a pleasure. We had such an open, genuine, and insightful conversation. What I appreciated most was how closely his background, career path, and long-term vision aligned with my own ambitions. It was almost as if we shared the same goals and outlook on the future, which made the conversation even more valuable. We discussed a wide range of topics, including starting my career in an analyst role in the APAC region, potential pathways into private equity, and how to eventually transition into the U.S. market. We also talked about opportunities in the Middle East and Europe, the importance of building and maintaining a strong professional network, and even the possibility of starting my own company in the long term. He shared valuable advice on the next steps I should take and how to approach my career strategically. What made the meeting particularly special was how approachable, supportive, and genuinely interested he was in my ambitions. Since I’m currently completing my internship in Singapore and he will also be visiting Singapore soon, we’re planning to meet for a coffee chat, which I’m really looking forward to. Overall, I’m extremely grateful for this experience. It was a genuinely inspiring, helpful, and insightful conversation that made me even more confident about my decision to join WSO Academy. I feel fortunate to have connected with a mentor whose experience and vision align so closely with the career path I hope to pursue.”

Hey,

Apologies! I posted here becauase I couldn't get any help on the HF forum and wanted to see what the banking community thought about this. Was also curious about the exit opps and if someone could jump to IB?

Thanks

Maybe im confused but are you referring to the app that literally says 2021 summer analyst positions, where you cant select a specific division you're interested in?
