Has anyone applied yet?
do you know if they're rolling?
Applied and have not heard back
I have been networking (with like a 5% response rate) not sure how helpful that will be
Did anyone else get a first-round?
Are you diversity?
Thats depressing lmao - congrats
Anyone hear back from credit/PE? Diversity btw.
So did everyone get a first round? Or is it diversity first
anybody get a video pymetrics invite?
no did you?
Jinx
Nope did u?
Yep, got pymetrics interview with 5 questions yesterday afternoon for real estate role in NY
Anyone not receive the video pymetrics?
Anyone not receive the video pymetrics?
I received the video pymetrics too! Any insight on what happens next?
Did u get one today? And did u network?
I got it on Thursday. I sort of networked, not really but I did reach out to a couple of people via LinkedIn who work at the firm. I am diversity and come from a non-target. I applied for the Real Estate division so maybe its going in waves or by division.
Anyone get video pymetrics for PE?
Are all of the notified people diverse? Did any non-diversity folks get video pymetrics?
non-diversity and got it
for what groups?
anyone else get a Tac Opps interview?
pymetrics video interview or actual interview
To confirm, no one has gotten an actual interview yet right? Only pymetrics interviews?
Just got two pymetrics interview - how do u know which group u got it for? Doesnt seem to say on the email
you got two of them?
yeah
FYI, superdays are going on this/next week, at least for folks who went through Diverse Leaders Program.
Has anyone received a superday for PE? What groups released superday invites?
How do you know which group the pymetrics are for?
amamamammamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamam
There have been superdays for PE Energy and PWS as far as I am aware. Also, for Diverse Leaders Program folks, because 1st rounds were essentially guaranteed, Pymetrics emails were received but allowed to be disregarded.
do you know anyone who has heard back from PWS superdays?
Nope, but I do know you are not the only one who hasn't heard back from PWS superdays.

mamamamamamamamamamamaamamamamam
applied to acq, haven't heard anything yet
How long did it take for ppl to hear back for first rounds since video interview?
Can anyone give a general gist of what the questions were like for the pyemetrics video interview? I applied for several PE groups and Tac Opps and I got an invite for one, genuinely no idea for which it is for lol.
Just be yourself - why do ppl overthink this…
Why the MS? I literally just asked for the general gist (obviously not looking for specific questions) Jeez
all the groups you apply for can see u pymetrics
Does anyone know if getting the pymetrics video is selective or not? Feels like everyone got it.
I don't think everyone gets it but might be wrong
what's the timeline like after the pymetrics? 1st rounds expected when?
got another pymetrics invite
do we have to do multiple or just one?
i got 3 pymetrics interviewsp
which groups did you apply to?
I got 4 pymetric invites, but only had to record once. The groups were:
Growth
Strategic Partners Institutional Client Solutions
Private Credit
Strategic Partners Infrastructure
Private Equity GP Solutions
To the people who got hirevues did it say summer 2022 analyst? I'm not sure if its a typo or if somehow I am hearing back from last year bc someone reneged
yeah I noticed that. I assumed the 2022 was for the present year and then it said summer analyst/analyst recruiting or something like that so I think 2022 was just referencing the interview cycle, not the start date of the internship
same thing, 2 video interviews and both 2022 Summer Analyst...
Anyone heard anything after pymetric interview?
Same waiting to hear back after pymetric interview
Has anyone heard back about a final superday round? I did my first superday and it went well and then haven't heard anything...
diverse?
yes
Hey, DM me
HR told me they’re already giving out offers? Is that for diversity?
Yes
I know nondiversity with offers
How long does it take to hear after a Superday?
has anyone recieved an offer from PWS or BIS?
Does Blackstone accelerate for candidates with competing offers?
I have been told no
Anyone else still waiting after the pymetrics interviews?
yeah
Has anyone from non diversity pool heard anything beyond the pymetrics video interview?
no. website says interviews will happen in April, but not sure if that changed. think it might be division-specific
any non-diverse receive anything after video pymetrics, finished 2 but havent heard anything
Yep waiting
waiting as well
did everyone get the pymetrics video?
Anyone hear back from RE yet?
anyone hear from PE or Tac Opps
How do we know which group we got a virtual interview from. Just did one but didn't see any indication which group it was for
think that all groups can see it.
anyone know what non diversity timeline looks like? When first rounds etc..?
How long after taking the Pymetrics do get the email for a Pymetrics interview?
got a BREDS first round, have PE, Tac Opps, Infra, or Growth gone out?
got breds as well - anyone hear back from acquisitions or are we still waiting?
Got BREDS too
Which division under BREDS did y’all get?
have tac opps first rounds gone out?
have not heard anything since video
Non-diversity?
Wow
I did. Wanna connect?
Anyone hear back abt credit or strategic partners?
have not heard back from Credit
^ think they recruit later, not sure though
I got another pymetrics invite
Has BXG filled it class? Maybe through diversity? Saw app on the portal closed so maybe that's the case
Can confirm that BXG is full
from diversity?
If we haven't heard after the pymetrics interview is it safe to assume we're out?
no because a lot of their groups haven't started interviews yet.
Nice, thx.
Has anyone heard from RE Am, RE Acq, or RE core+?, only heard back from securities
I have a superday with securities. Wanna connect if you are also doing it?
anyone hear from BAAM
has PE gone out?
At least 3-4 offers out from diversity. I know two who have accepted, 2 who have posted in this forum.
has non-diversity started?
Got interview for REPE
acquisitions?
Any non-diversity 1st rounds yet?
Someone at my school claims to have had a first round for PE. I think he’s full of shit, frankly.
which school is this?
Think UNC/UT Austin/UF/W&M type school.
confirmed first rounds for REPE and multiple divisions under BREDS are out
.
what about BREDS - Originations? I don't think they're out are they?
.
Anyone hear from Credit or Infra?
.
I have my superday upcoming. Wanna connect?
Hi, I saw you did a BX superday in the past. I have one this week. Do you have any tips? Very desperate haha
Has non-diversity Infra started yet?
does it go straight from pymetrics video interview -> super day?
I think I got a pymetrics video interview for strategic partners
first round in between
Anyone hear back from tac opps about a second round?
I thought it went first round to super. Or is that only diversity processes? I haven’t heard back, you?
I actually just got dinged. Not sure if it would have gone to super
Has anyone heard back from PE role after submitting the pymetrics
Have PE 1st round this week
.
Have any superdays for nondiversity taken place yet?
.
Bump
Does anyone else keep getting video interview invitations? I did mine a few weeks ago, and I got two emails after asking me to complete the interview, just went to the site and pressed submit. Is this normal?
anyone hear from growth after pymetrics hirevue?
BXG filled its class with diverse candidates.

Hi, I saw you did a BX superday in the past. I have one this week. Do you have any tips? Very desperate haha
Just got a 1st round invite for SP, anyone else? non-pymetrics btw
You just got one now? Sunday afternoon?
What do you mean non-pymetrics?
Are you target or diverse? Thanks
I got a first round invite for SP today. I was wondering is this a good group in Blackstone? Is this position better or an investment banking position at a firm like Bank of America?
If you like secondaries its an incredible place to be but i have heard you get placed in groups so your industry could be niche. Blackstone on your resume could take you far still but its just a matter of what you want to do and if you think you could spin this experience to help you down the line if secondaries arent for you
Anyone know if PE offers are out?
Have you had a first round/super day?
Had a first round on Friday so hopefully I hear back for a superday early this week
Non diversity PE offers are out. Not sure if process is over
Got an offer through diversity, was curious if you know the schools of the folks who got non diversity offers.
