Anyone know if HL ever takes sophomores? if I have freshman school year & summer IB experience and a contact at HL who can attest to my interest/skill could that be possible or do they solely take juniors

 

How long do you typically have to wait before hearing back from a first round?

 

Honestly, I'm not too sure. I think it can vary depending on if you get dinged. This is hearsay, but I know someone that had ~1 week between first round and hearing about the superday (with 3-4 days lead time)

 

Do you know if HL RX NY, or banks in general, have more than one superday or first round "waves"? If I didn't get a first round by now, is it safe to assume I'm out of their process?

 

I see. Good luck to your friend. I already had my 1st round so just wanted to get a sense of whether or not super days are being extended yet. Appreciate if you can keep me posted on your friend's status, thanks!

 

@Moistheman Replying to both Moistheman and anonymous: I'll keep it pretty objective. My first round was 100% technical.

The technicals I received consisted of valuation, accounting, and waterfall/credit exercises. Probably comparable to other banks but also included questions on waterfall/credit.

 

Just got a superday for LA RX which is in 2 days. On that note, would appreciate if anyone's been through the process and can tell me what to expect!

 

Anyone who has interviewed for NY M&A, have you heard anything back yet / where are you in the process?

 

Yes - HL has given out total of 5-6 offers over two super days for New York RX. LA and regional offices are doing 1r's.

Anyone know if they're running any more superdays for Rx LA?

 

No it is not. Most banks get back to you pretty fast if you've moved on. Unless they're delaying their process, you most likely got dinged. Sorry man

 

Appreciate the reply. The weird thing is that the person originally said it was a "chat" and then suddenly started to bombard me with technical questions in the actual call.

 

Is it possible that they are still doing first rounds with other people from my school and want to wait a bit?

HL LA Rx is (un?)officially over, I heard they filled their intern class

 

any updates on HL CHI CF process? I talked with a VP and ASS, both went really well and they both said they would secure an interview for me. that was a few weeks ago, and I haven't heard from HR to schedule an interview. what should I do? Also, I am non-target, not sure if that changes things.

 

Anyone know anything about Private Funds? I didn't read the post in the Evercore thread about it being bad to apply to more than one group so I applied to all of them and only heard back from PFG. I had an initial phone interview (all behavioral) and have a second call on Tuesday but I'm not entirely sure what to expect so if anyone has insight, I'd appreciate it!
