Fidelity Investment Research Interview
Have an upcoming c/o ‘25, Summer ‘23 intro interview for Fidelity’s Investment Research. On a basic Google search, I couldn’t find much regarding the division nor Investment Research as a whole. Anyone have any insight into this program, ways to prep (both broadly for investment research and this specific program), the types of “investments” (i.e., equity/debt/futures/commodities) that I’d be researching? I expect it’ll be a light, first round, behavioral interview, but im overall seeking to gain a better understanding of what the job entails to better craft my narrative if/when they ask “why IR/Fidelity”. Lastly, but least important, I assume this would be a great sophomore summer internship to throw on my resume pre-IB recruiting - can anyone confirm?

Bumpity… where da class of 2025 at?
OP which location are you interviewing for? And did you network? Applied a few weeks ago
Boston. Believe that was the only location. Also applied for Direct Lending (CHI, IL) and ESG Investment Research (Boston & rejected). Wbu?
Have interview later this week; anyone have round 1 yet?
I’m at fidelity rn and the recruiter said there are under 10 positions available for the IR positions. She said to emphasize work experience (Fidelity is cutting out schools for those at non target).
Isn’t Fidelity usually under 10 spots a year? Same is true of Wellington and other AM.
Damn wtf I didn’t realize it was so competitive? It’s strictly for C/O ‘25 though, right? Still only 10 spots? I have a couple of other questions; would you mind if I PM’d you?
There are two spots for IR and 2 for direct lending
i don't think it would do much for IB recruiting since IB recruits spring sophomores so you will get an IB offer before you even start the Fidelity Internship.
This is how most sophomore internships go. Recruiters do care that, come spring recruitment, you have something to discuss on your resume that’s relevant to finance. Especially if it’s a competitive position. Why do you think sophomore SA’s at BB’s are highly coveted and competitive? Because recruiters like to see that you have finance related internship for sophomore summer.
How did the interview go?
Went decent. Felt like I connected well with recruiter and showed my personality. Definitely could’ve prepared better on some inevitable questions that I got too lazy to research (I.r., why Fidelity). Recruiter said I won’t hear back on super day invite until early August.
have interview for direct lending soon, what general info did they give about the program?
Anyone hear about super day yet
Anyone hear back about final offers? I did superday three weeks ago but haven't heard anything. HR recruiter said in the beginning that we should hear about final decisions in mid to late August.
.
Have you heard back now? It’s been a week since my SD, didn’t hear anything
