I recently applied for a corporate finance position for Blackstone in Hong Kong for their corporate finance internship. Yesterday, I received an invitation to complete the pymetric test.
Is this test given to all who apply? Or is the test given to those who pass the screening?
Also, is it fairly easy to land an off-cycle internship?
