Also received an interview
What group and location was it?
LA PE - did u get one as well?
Was it COF or SOF bc only applied for one not both but did not get one
For COF - havent heard back from SOF. Did u apply to SOF?
Lol it’s “ACOF” btw
Thanks for adding value to the conversation
ya applied for ASOF - were you diversity, me and my friend both did not get it, but I would assume my friend at least is quite qualified
Does PE only run out of LA?
Is this for targets and diversity first?
Anyone hear back for superday?
How was ur first round?
got a first round today. What should I expect?
bump
anyone get a second round? Does this go straight to a super day?
Are 2nd rounds out? Haven’t gotten one…
Had my first round yesterday so I don't think so...
feel free to dm me if you want to chat
Can people clarify whether they got first/second rounds for ACOF or ASOF? I had a first-round this week with ASOF. They run their processes separately so if y'all could clarify, that would be great.
Did anyone receive an interview for both ACOF and ASOF?
Anyone with updates after first round?
Anyone hear about ASOF Round 2? Feel free to DM me if you're recruiting for ASOF
Anyone hear back about R2 for ASOF?

Just to confirm, everyone who got interviews is diversity right?
No, I got first-round with ASOF and am non-diversity
Did you network or did you just apply online? Also, are you a target? Thank you!!
Do you know anyone who applied to both ACOF and ASOF and got interviews for both teams? Or do they usually just interview you for one or the other?
I don't, everyone seems to be one or the other

Wondering if anyone has insight into REPE technical portion of interview (1st round): is it going to be an excel model or paper lbo, or more high level technical questions?
Wondering if anyone has insight into REPE technical: is it going to be an excel model or paper lbo, or more high level technical questions?
Do you really think we send college sophomores excel modeling tests…come on…no modeling test.
can you share the timeline for Ares RE plz? heard diversity people still waiting for feedback and not sure how that will affect non-diverse
first round for credit coming up, my ares network was kinda vague on what to expect, any suggestions/topics to prepare for?
did you hear back from the first round yet?
To all the international students out there - don't bother, Ares "sponsors" but not really. Just wait until the end of the summer when you don't receive a return and wonder why that white American kid who did nothing for 10 weeks signed FT
Can you expand? International student going there for SA2022
Ares's return rate is incredibly low and sponsors on a "case-by-case" basis, meaning you have to have extraordinary performance that makes them believe you're 10x more worthy than your American peers. Friend from school is going there for SA 2022 and already networking for FT recruitment out of this concern
I've heard otherwise in terms of the return rate, but maybe it's group dependent. Are you referring to just international students or return rates for all?
As a current Ares employee who works with numerous of our international hires every day (many of which started as summer analysts) can say this is completely inaccurate. I’m sorry that your friend has received sour information
Had credit superday last week. Anyone know when I will hear back??
Credit gets back to people really fast - usually within 24 hours after your interview. I can't say the same for RE and PE since these two groups are notoriously slow.
Should I assume I got dinged?
How fast did you hear back after your first round about whether or not you got a superday? I had my credit first round last week.
I think it was one week after
Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone know if Ares is continuing the FT analyst program across all strategies?
wondering the same but for power/infra
Does anyone have a clue what the REPE case study looks like? (For superday)
Are offers out for credit NY?
Yes I know credit NY is done
When did they come out? DL?
Are any offers out yet for REPE?
Yes. Received yesterday
For which group/office?
Any offers for Credit LA (Liquid Credit)?
