Had first round as well. Thought it was pretty straightforward. Think we should be expecting to hear at the end of the month.
Same here. They’re doing 3 weeks of first rounds lmao. Gotta be like 80 kids being interviewed
Similar 1st round to the BBs?
Go to one of their targets and had 1R two weeks ago. Apparently they're gonna do on-campus second rounds in a few weeks followed by the SD
This is correct, on campus second rounds at UNC/Wake/Owen etc. Phone calls for non-targets. In person SD mid sept
hmm what are they gonna do for the non targets?
Is BlackArch good? Never heard much abt them?
Compete with WB/Jeff/HW for MM deals. Decently sweaty.
Legit MM. Though hard to break in if you don't have southern ties.
Does someone want to share more insight on how their first round went
like someone said above its like a BB first round, nothing too technical and laid back, but obv be prepared dont go in with no prep
Same non-target; had a first round about two weeks ago at this point. I knew it was going to be a series of interviews but didn't realize it would be that many. I'm waiting to hear back for the second round as well, and I think they mentioned they are planning on conducting second-round interviews for a majority of the candidates and bringing as many as three dozen people to the SD.
I like the firm but bringing 36 people to a SD for a handful of spots is ridiculous… seems to be somewhat of an inefficient recruiting process
I was surprised as well when he said that, and I think they plan on hiring around 10 full-time employees, but at the same time, they seem to really care about fit and competence. Being a small firm, they probably want to make sure they get the right ones. It was very clearly emphasized that you are expected to complete the 2-year program, no exceptions and Especially the fit part; that's probably the one thing I am worried about from the interview. I'm not sure if I did a good enough job emphasizing my ties to the South since I did a BB SA in nyc
And I've never been to a physical Superday before, so I'm not sure, but I assume it's the same as a BB. Like, that's still a 33% acceptance rate; I think that's normal
Interviewed last year and made it to the final round and dropped out of the process. Most white / southern / boys club type group you will find, pretty sweaty as well. Had no interest in North Carolina either. Made it to a strong tech group (lower BB) instead. Seemed like decent people but I know I'd personally be miserable there and you should consider the culture heavily before joining.
Anyone hear back from first round?
Haven’t
same, i assume they are still doing the interviews
does anyone know if they wrapped up SA recruiting?
Had first round over the phone last week. I think second rounds are on campus either this week or next, still havent heard back but saw on Glassdoor they tend to ghost people which is a bummer
where are y’all see the job description
I doubt it, I had my first round in July, they said they would start second rounds in August doesn’t seem like it
They gave out second rounds yesterday
On a Sunday…?
Have my second round Friday
In person? Are you a target school I mean? I am non target so no clue how/when I will hear back unless someone already has
Has any one from a nontarget heard back from first rounds?
some non-targets have heard back
Does this mean those who didn’t get it are denied?
Does anyone know what date superday is?
bro where y'all find apps for FT firms am i blind
have they wrapped up?
