You heard anything?
Yes, I have a first round this week. I feel as if they will do it in batches but do not quote me on this. Have already networked here in the past
howd the first round go?
did the application open or something?
Yea it’s been open for a minute
where lol?
Never head of these guys before. Are they well-regarded?
Strong presence in Charlotte; compete against the other MMs there. Also place pretty well into MM PE
Seems like a great place to go if you like Charlotte for long-term IB or want to lateral after 2 years.
Just perused LinkedIn and saw two of their former analysts went to Qatalyst?
Interviewed for FT last year. Got to the second round which was an on campus interview, they also invited us out for cocktails night before interview. DM me with questions
PMd
Can you elaborate on the interview process? Looking to lateral to another shop in Charlotte in the coming months.
so youre currently in IB?
Had a first round there earlier this week. Interview was mostly behavioral with a few straightforward technicals at the end. Not sure when I should expect to hear back
So did I. I was told that if I were to move on, my next round would be on campus I believe first week of September.
See that you’re an intern in IB; do you have a return offer that conflicts with that at all?
Has anyone heard back?
From which round?
The first round. I think they go R1>SuperDay>Decision.
Ass / Shit tier firm.
Congrats on the rejection and settling for LMM Charlotte IB.
Yes!! Def ended up in the glorious city of Charlotte, NC. Sounds like a great place to spend your 20s!!
If you don't like Charlotte, sure, but this is a silly comment. ~$180k in the South and guaranteed MM PE is very good at 22.
Where did you end up? Richmond? lol
When is everyone anticipating R2s coming out?
Probably another week or so, I think they’re still wrapping up R1s
Exactly my guess as well. Maybe two weeks
Was told that first round interviews wrap up on the 29th and second round invitations will be sent out shortly after
August 29th?!
Aug or July 29th?
I might be cooked. Still nothing on my end.
target or non-target?
Target. Have you heard back, target/non?
Anything that tipped you off? My interviewer was really kind, but I heard that was a common experience R1 before they got dinged
Not anything in particular, but the lack of replying to a follow-up email could be an indicator. I’m not sure what else one could do. I aced the techs, have a good story, and seemed to bond easily.
Nobody will know until end of this month

This is what I heard too. hope its true...

I wonder how many interviews they’re doing. It seems like a ton for such a niche shop.
I've seen on previous threads for their FT role that they brought like 30+ to superday. Obv don't know how valid that claim is and if they're gonna do that this year
I just got an invite for a first-rounder. I applied through my school's career services site but they reached out because I had applied for an internship in the past.
Nice!
Congrats and best of luck on the 1R
Bumping for posterity and any new R1ers.
Any updates from anyone?
No
Bump for anything new
The application was pulled off LinkedIn fwiw. Think we should hear something soon.
I imagine tmr or Monday? Especially since R2 is supposedly the first week of September.
Word
We should hear this week if you make it to R2. GGs if not.
Bump
bumping
Believe it should come out at the end of this week if I remember correctly
bump
We should know by EOW. They won’t get back to everyone though.
bumping
Imagine we all get dinged.
lollll
Just got second round invite
Can we get a verification that second round interviews came out lol
I have my first round this friday, idk if thats good or bad considering 2nd rounds are apparently out now lol
Maybe they changed their minds, but I was told by the interviewer that second rounds were happening on sept 2nd and 3rd
Interesting...those two days are the two days we have off of school. Did you get it?
No, I was told at the end of my first round
anyone else hear back for R2?
I still haven’t, what about you?
Nope. Had my R1 two weeks ago
Still waiting as well. Maybe will hear back tmr?
They are notorious for not getting back to every applicant fyi.
Haven’t heard of anyone hearing back besides the one dude on here. Think there’s any chance they could come out in waves or that he’s capping?
Anyone know if the r2 interviews come out in waves?
bump
doubt it. 99% sure its over if you didn't get the invite already. I was told super day is mid September.
Why you say that?
Making an assumption or do you know someone?
Has anyone heard back about a R2? Can't figure out if there's more invites to go out or if it's over if you didn't get one. Only thing making me consider that it's not over is the fact they do on campus interviews.
Don’t think they’re doing more R2s
How did your R2 go?
Got my rejection yesterday, so I doubt it
R1 or R2 rejection
Has anyone got spd invites
Yes. Not sure if they're sending them out in waves but I doubt it.
How do you know? And how many
