Anybody recruiting at SA/VP level?

How’s the market looking for people at the SA/VP level? Is there a difference between NY and non-NY activity?

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”

For what it’s worth, I gave up and went corporate. Was extremely close on a recent process but the process timings didn’t accommodate each other. I have seen hardly any openings for SA/jr VP roles.

Also, tbh corporate life is pretty good lol
