Blackstone SA 2022
Since I haven't seen any discussions on this topic, I thought I would start it. Obviously, the positions at BX are competitive, it would still be interesting to see where others are in the process.

Also interested. Does anyone know if interviews are given only on a referral basis (even for HYPSW applicants)? Also will they give interviews before the app deadline (July 1)?
They're de facto on a referral basis only, even for HYPSW, sans diversity candidates.
Source?
Yes, interviews are conducted on a rolling basis
so do you network until ghosted or super day?

Is this summer internship only available for diversity candidates (female or URM)?
For all who went through the diversity programs (and thus eligible for accelerated recruiting process), we were told we would be hearing about next steps today... have not received anything yet (idk if it'll be more based on groups or a first email just from recruiting team), anyone else receive updates yet?
Same. Do u know if they're gonna ghost us or at least let ppl know about rejections (for accelerated diversity process)
Given that they told us we're still eligible to do regular cycle recruiting (in the summer, not accelerated), I'd expect to still hear something back from them?
Also when they told us apps would be opening, a lot of them didn't open for the next 7-10 days after that date, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we heard back a little behind schedule / later then they told we would
update, just got the email saying us hearing back could be delayed until early next week, but could begin hearing from certain teams today... would be great if anyone updates when they hear from certain teams / groups
Have you heard from any of them? I know some of my friends have.
Has PE come out yet? Still waiting on BX PE team to get back
Same here, I have heard about SP but nothing else yet
Are you diverse? I haven’t gotten anything either
Hey, I see that you guys applied to the PE group. Any stats in terms of how many kids they take & how many applicants? Is it exclusively H/W or is it also other targets like Columbia, Cornell, Darty, Ross, Duke? Wouldn't be surprised if Corporate PE is the most selective group @ BX, it probably is. Also in terms of diversity and what not, is it mainly race, or is it also sexuality? Because if it's also the latter, couldn't someone just say they're bi and that counts as diversity? Would appreciate any tips or hacks you guys may have -- incoming college freshman looking to break into MFPE after undergrad.
Anyone heard from Infra? Sounds like BAAM, SP, RE (certain groups at least), and PWS are all out
Diverse but haven't heard from PE — any updates from anyone on hearing back from BX PE thru the Diverse Leaders Program or otherwise?
I got a first round notification from PE on Saturday
have you heard from the other groups you applied to / ranked in your top three?
Nope
Did you attend diverse leaders?
.
Heard from PE Saturday morning. Will keep you chimps posted.
Heard from RE Thursday night but still waiting on the coordinator to reach out to schedule the interviews (although in the notification on Thurs said the interviews would "likely" be this week).. have you heard about actual scheduling yet for PE?
Haven't heard from HR on dates yet either — idk what's taking them so long
which RE
Is this for accelerated diversity recruiting?
yes pls thx
Diversity?
Hey man, I see that you applied to the PE group. Any stats in terms of how many kids they take & how many applicants? Is it exclusively H/W or is it also other targets like Columbia, Cornell, Darty, Ross, Duke? In terms of diversity and what not, is it mainly race, or is it also sexuality? Because if it's also the latter, couldn't someone just say they're bi and that counts as diversity? Would appreciate any tips or hacks you guys may have -- incoming college freshman looking to break into MFPE after undergrad. If you could PM me, that would be awesome
Has anyone here heard back from Tac Opps?
my friend who applied for that group has not... really curious what they meant by "early" this week and by what point all groups will be out
first rounds have been out for TacOpps and they've already scheduled first rounds last week mönkë
Anyone heard on scheduling for PE?
me and others I know haven't received scheduling for any groups we've heard from yet
Can you apply to multiple programs?
have an interview with BX Credit this Friday!
when did they reach out to you about scheduling? still waiting to hear anything on scheduling for the group I received notif about
i was offered interviews more multiple groups.. .still in the process of scheduling the other 2 but for Credit we set it up a couple days after i got the notification
Hey lmk how Credit goes. Have TacOpps next week so want to get a gauge of how intense these mfs do things
Credit went very well
Any chance you could PM me?
anyone got scheduling for BREDS? also, has anyone heard back from growth?
Nope haven't heard from growth either idk wtf is taking em so damn long lmao
have you scheduled or had your BREDS interview yet? still waiting for response from scheduler for other RE groups
was reached out to regarding BREDS - sounds to be set by this coming week
attended the womens program but didn't get first-round for the accelerated process for any group. Will we be considered for the regular cycle, or are my chances dead now?
you're done
Received 1st round w infra, have not scheduled yet
did infra just come out this afternoon? interesting because I put infra as my top but got interviews w/ RE groups (second choice) which I would've thought were more competitive than infra
which re?
recruiter reached out yesterday morning for infra
where did you indicate first and second choices?
are you at a target?
no but I did the women's program
So recruiter reached out to me to schedule PE. I replied but she hasn't confirmed my date or interviewer. Anyone else in the same boat?
I'm still waiting to hear regarding scheduling for two RE groups, but got an update yesterday thanking us for our patience saying we'd be receiving further outreach soon and my friend who interviewed with PWS today said she was told that a lot of the other groups are just really slow rn (PWS seems to be the only one moving quickly rn) so seems like we might just have to expect it'll be a more drawn out process for certain groups (esp PE and RE)
recruiter reached out to me Monday for RE scheduling and sent her availability for dates including yesterday and today but still haven't heard back - how many days did you have to wait to confirm scheduling for your PE first round?
few
Any information on the pymetrics? What are they like? How much weight do they have in the recruitment process?
Not much you can do about pymetrics, your results are compared to the ones of existing employees in the team you're applying to so there isn't really any right or wrong answer. My guess is that if you have a really solid resume you may still have a shot tho.
will one get rejected if the pymetrics wasn't good enough a couple days after or only at the end of the recruitment cycle?
has anyone been scheduled for BREDS or heard back from growth?
I received an email last night about scheduling for BREP in general, but still unsure how group specific since I was invited to interview for two different groups within BREP (BREDS was not one of them though)... I gave them my availability and will hopefully be hearing back with confirmation of a day/time
Checking in — anyone heard from growth?
how are interviews going for you monkeys? Consider this a space safe to chat — I know just as well as the rest of y'all that this shit can get stressful sometimes :)
I got first interview last week (Women Div program) - does anyone know from last years experience how long it takes (after first interview) to find out if you got into Superday?
The process from start to finish takes about 1.5 months. You should be hearing in about a week and a half if you got superday from your first-round interview.
is it first round -> superday or first round -> second round -> superday?
Thank you! Do you know if everyone from the women's diversity program got a mentor and a first interview - was that automatic?
what group did you interview for last week? also re: other comment, the number of interviews (i.e. if there is a second round or just straight from first round to superday) I've heard varies group by group and also by the year depending on how many candidates there are, how competitive the pool is, how many spots they're looking to fill, etc... so the process will be a lot quicker (w/ fewer total interviews) for some groups than others
Had a PWS interview.
Does anyone have insight into how the infra pe recruiting timeline is looking like? When are first rounds and superdays estimated to be taking place?
Anyone know if non-diversity first rounds are out?
Did everyone who was in the 2day women’s diversity meeting get a mentor and then first interview?
anyone who had a 1st round w infra hear back yet?
have you heard anything back yet?
Not yet, wbu?
I haven’t. I had mine this week when did you have it?
end of last week
Definitely worth your time to get in at the analyst level, then bail.
BCP’s returns are ~10% and the talent pool is super diluted at the associate level. Think they even hired an SEC kid this year.
If I am still in the process for summer 21, should I apply for regular right now? Interested in RE, had a solid summer last year with avg grades
I assume they're reviewing on a rolling basis....
Non-target
I would assume summer 2021 is closed at this point...
I meant applying for 2022 regular
Being realistic, your a non target with avg grades and nothing spectacular experience wise. Your not making it to Blackstone... Focus your time at other firms.
Target from Canada, not the US, so I labeled myself as non-target. Got a few alumni in Blackstone coffee chatted a while back but they're not RE specific
is ft recruiting rn? are you a 21 or 22?
Has anyone heard back about second rounds?
..
interested in this as well
.
Has anyone received any Superday invites yet?
None on my side...
would be curious when anyone hears anything for RE, haven't heard anything yet
what group(s) did you have first rounds with? have my first rounds with one RE group today and with another RE group on friday
im guessing they're finishing up RE by friday across all groups and then will announce superdays, unless anyone has heard anything
okay that's the impression I was getting too
have you heard anything yet? got two replies to the thank-you emails I sent to my interviewers the day of last week both this morning so that makes me think they were discussing final decisions for superdays this morning maybe

Yes- had mine this week
what group?
Anyone hear about second rounds from PE?
Are interviews given on a rolling basis? Applied for PE on March 4th ish
I believe so, but right now the interviews that are happening are for the accelerated diversity track, which involved you getting selected for one of the diversity exploratory programs (Diverse Leaders or Women Leaders) in fall or spring. I believe that after these are finished, the regular process will start, so you will probably be in that second wave given you applied relatively recently.
anyone get superday notifications for PE yet?
My brother did superday for PE this week.
This guy is beyond full of shit^^ Got PE Super Day yesterday and it isn't until next week
Does anyone know how competitive BAAM is and how many interns they take each year? Also, are fall diverse leaders also being considered for the accelerated process. How many people approximately got first rounds across all groups? just looking at my chances
I was at their diversity event as a veteran. Most of those kids are coming from wealthy backgrounds just happened to be POC. All went to top boarding schools where tuition is easily over 60k/yr. They all know this thing doesn't make any sense but are taking advantage, like if it's there, why not? It made me sick to my stomach

Has anyone heard back from BX credit after 2nd round?
has anyone heard back for an RE superday (any group)? timeline seems to be super stretched out
I think today was the last day of first rounds, at least for AM, BREIT, and ACQ (I think BREDS might be on a slightly different timeline) so I'm thinking that those who get superdays for any of those groups will be notified early next week probably. what RE groups are you waiting to hear from?
Does anyone know how many interns are hired in each group - especially PWS?
also wondering this for AM and ACQ in RE
do you have superdays with those groups?
Anyone have any idea if it's feasible to try to buy time on offers? How long do these offers take before exploding?
do you have an offer from any groups yet?
Has PE gotten back to anyone about logistics and who we're interviewing with?
..
waiting to hear back after first rounds for RE but curious when you got your superday notif was it from HR / recruiting the same way as for first rounds or was it from someone in PE / on the team?
HR
For TacOpps, has anybody heard back about next round for Superdays? Had my interview today, seems like notifications are rolling
Hv a friend who received an offer from a Fall program.
What group?
Hey man, any chance u could PM me?
have you heard anything? I had mine yesterday and still nothing
..
Has anyone heard back about superdays for any RE groups?
Attended the event across the pond recently. Does everyone get an accelerated first round interview in the US or is a first round with any of your top 3 preferences not guaranteed?
has anyone received any offers?
anyone's interviews got cancelled due to scheduling?
what group?
Received an offer for PE!
Congrats!
congrats!! how long after your superday did you hear about the offer?
Congrats! Did you get your offer from someone on the team or did the recruiter call you?
@blackstone PE SA, would you mind dm'ing me?
did other people for PWS hear that it won't be until next Tuesday we hear back?
has anyone heard back from infrastructure yet?
when was your superday?
