has anyone been through BlackRock's interview for account management group (amg) SA position?
if so, please share your experience. i'm a liberal arts major, and i don't know what will be expected of me...and i'm wondering if the interview will be more geared towards fit/behavioral or technical.
thanks in advance!

I had it this morning. 100% fit. But, you might also be asked informally where the market is at, where you think its going, etc.
thanks a lot for the response! hope your interview went well.
i'm probably jumping the gun here, but do you know how the second round would be? would the technical questions come then? ...wait, is it only two rounds?
and how much would an AMG SA get paid?
thanks.
Yeah, I'm just in th same boat as you, going through the interview process. I was told that th second round would be a typical superday structure, 10 half-hour interviews in one day.
Don't know what th pay is like, but there are definitely some really sharp people working there so I imagine its roughly at Street level (at least the base, no idea about bonus). A lot of people actually used to be Merrill, and got grandfathered in w/ th merger, so I can't imagine their pay got adjusted downward.
10 half hour interviews? I have it next friday and its only from 9-1130, that might be because I currently intern in a different blackrock department though. Pay is definitely not I-banking (probably same base, but lower bonuses/progression), but you will also work half as much, with a very good chance of getting into portfolio management.
I just had my second round super day with BlackRock in their Princeton, NJ office for the portfolio management group. It was 4 roughly half hour interviews all back to back. The people were great and though my interviews were primarily fit (I'm not a finance major), I heard this not to be the case with everyone.
How did your interview go, and did you hear back from BlackRock yet?
I have AMG superday Friday and PAG superday next Friday, shoot me a PM this weekend and I'll make a post on it if you guys are interested
I thought the interviews went well, thought I'd hear back (either way) today but no such luck. They did say it would take up to a week though and with yesterday being a holiday...I'm still holding out hope. Good luck with your superdays.
Wx, what type of questions did you receive?
Projects I've worked on, teamwork and leadership experience, strengths, future career goals, why investment management/BlackRock/portfolio management Group. Also the run down on my resume in general. Bear in mind, I'm not a finance major. Because of my background, something I got asked in each interview was how I got into finance from my current major (meteorology) and how I relate the two.
I did hear from others that they got asked a slew of finance related technical questions. I would say it really depends on your background and the interviewer.

BlackRock AMG Analyst superday (Originally Posted: 10/23/2009)
Hey everyone, I have a Superday with BlackRock on the 30th. I'm really new to the whole Asset Management/Finance thing and I dont have an idea of what to expect. Can anyone help me paint a picture of what I should expect for Superday?
Thanks!

If it's Account Management, know everything about the investment process, i.e. clients submitting requests for proposals, and those proposals being passed on to product groups etc. Know what the job of the Account Manager is; set goals for the fund, create market updates, client presentations and interact with the PM. Also, you need to show them you have great communication skills so try and come off as someone who enjoys interacting with people but at the same time enjoys following the markets. It might get a little technical, i.e. market news and all. When did you have your first round interview btw and how long did they take to get back to you?
my first round was pretty chill - it took them aroudn 3-4 days to get back to me and i just finished my superday. when do you think ill hear back?
thanks!!

Does anyone have any insight on BlackRock's FT recruiting? I've heard two things:
I interviewed last Thursday on campus and haven't heard back yet. They said it would take around a week so don't panic yet.
I interviewed last week on campus also and was just emailed tonight notifying me that I have a superday this Friday. Does anybody have any advice or insight on this superday? What kind of technical questions could I get?
Thank you.
