Chicago is their biggest office. Not that big of an office in NY. Already handed out 5+ offers in Chicago office.
Chicago is their biggest office by far, followed by SF (Tech) and CLT (which is rapidly growing), and then NYC. They also have an office in Boston, not sure about analyst class size though.

Would HC and Tech be considered non-core?
Groups aren't Core/Non-Core, that's just referring to schools. Basically they are saying for regional offices (Boston, SF, CLT, Atlanta) both core and non-core school apps open on March 25, but for Chicago only Core schools can apply then, non-core can apply for Chicago on April 11th. It is a little confusing the way its laid out. Pls fix.
Interviews have kicked off and so have phone screens.
Core-schools?
Yes
Had my first round yesterday for biotech group in Chicago. Non-diversity, semi-target.
How was it?
I think I did pretty well. Lot of questions about biotech industry and valuation.
They invited me for a coffee chat in a few days, think it's a first-round screen.
Coffee chat in a few days too.
how was it?
anyone who did a Chicago first round this /last week hear back?
Did first round Wednesday, target for Blair
are all first rounds sent out for Chicago targets?
Not necessarily targets for Blair but Targets in general yes
Final round interviews out for Blair - Semi-target
Diversity?
Nah I have superday for non-diversity
.
Are first rounds so far sent only for targets? I go to a school that’s a target for other banks but not sure for William Blair
Yes. Analyst told me core schools will get interviews first and then non-core schools will follow weeks after.
Has anyone done the coffee chat yet? How was it?
Have any offers gone out after today's superday?
.
Had my superday for the corporate advisory on April 6th. Haven't heard back yet; when should I expect to hear back?
Which office was this?
Chicago
Recently had Superday this week as well. Waiting on response as well.
Anyone get an offer from the corporate advisory Chicago office?
bump
Finally heard back and got rejected.
Had first round Friday Apr 1st, went really well but still waiting on response.
Had mine the day before that, interviews went great as well. Have you followed up with anyone? My interviewer said super day would be the 6th, so we’re dinged unless they are sending out more waves.
Both of you could also be on a wait list. Not good enough for a superday but also not an automatic rejection.
had superday last week & got offer same day. GL guys
what group?
Sector group, chicago office. Specific placement next year (pushing for healthcare/tech)
Congrats on the offer….how many interviews did you have in the SD? WB will do a non-target super day so was curious.
Thanks man!
SD is 2-3 hours long. I had 5 interviews (30 mins each), heard it can be 6 too. Feel free to PM if you want.
Had super day on Tuesday. Haven't heard back so assuming it's not positive news. Gl everyone
has anyone heard back from the boston office?
Just got SD invite for biotech group, non core school
has anyone received first rounds for chicago non core?
del
Congrats man. Did you have exploding offer before reaching out to them?
del
anyone else have first round week of 3/28 (Chi SA IBD) and still not hear anything? Heard Blair normally sends out rejection emails if you get dinged, but I'm sure it's not a good sign if its been that long.
I'd say you're most likely on a waitlist currently
I have a first-round this Thursday, semi-target CLT office. Does anyone have advice? I know they tend to be heavy on the technicals and focus on LBOs. But other than that any advice/questions you remember? Would really appreciate the help :)
I got a first-round Chicago this week, nondiversity.
Received offer for Chicago biotech group after SD yesterday
Does Blair send out rejections? Anyone know what it means if haven't gotten any correspondence?
When did you do the interview
they do, if its not right away there prob on the fence about you / focusing on their top-choices first.
If I had an interview on the 28th (Thursday), and haven't heard anything, does that mean I've been either waitlisted or rejected? I think it's their last rounds, so I'm thinking they might be taking a bit of time to compare all of the SDs. Is it possible to still get an offer if they call next week, or do think I'm waitlisted/rejected?
Had final last week and yet to hear back
same. for what office?
I had a first round on April 22 and yet to hear back. I think I’m pretty much rejected.
Also had a first round on April 26th and haven't heard back. Still hoping for good news but looks like there's basically no chance
Was in a similair situation to both of you guys - was rejected 1.5 weeks after my first round.
abt to have a first round with LF group in Chicago, anyone else had one?
Anyone know when this week's SDs will hear back?
had mine on Tuesday and still have not heard back
Which office and what group?
Just got my offer for SF Tech. Had my superday today.
If that helps anyone....
Anyone receive an invite to a super day for the Chicago office this upcoming week? If so, what dates were given as an option to have it?
I do. I was only given tomorrow’s slot
How did it go? Anything specifically I should be aware of?
Did anyone hear back from this week’s SD?
Anybody got Chicago offer this week?
Did anyone who had SD last week hear back yet? (Chicago Office)
I was told to hear back early next week
What day did you have your SD?
Got offer today. Chicago office sector group
For last week's Chicago superdays, do people think they'll send out rejections straight away early this week or wait a couple more weeks?
My friend emailed campus recruitment team and got response fairly fast

Is Blair done with recruiting? Haven't heard any news recently.

I got an invite for private capital markets too...don't know what they will ask
Do you mind sharing when you applied and did you network?
how was the first round?
Did you hear back after 1st round?
