2025 spring grad here, target school. Got invited to superday for Insight Partners' 2024 Summer Analyst position. I'm a math/cs major and have never recruited for any traditional finance roles before, so I have no idea what I'm going into. Any pointers? My previous exp is all quant/big tech.

when did you get the invite? and did you network
about a week and a half ago. no networking besides 1 coffee chat that I basically just did for the free food before class xD
still waiting to hear back personally, but from speaking to analyst it's pretty behavioral (no modeling or anything). Do some research on a tech vertical (healthtech, consumer/retail, fintech, etc.) and make sure you're super knowledgeable about it / have a basic investment thesis. Research a few insight portcos that you can talk about, and a few startups in this vertical you've chosen that you could pitch as investments. Have answers for why growth equity (esp over quant/tech based on your experience), why Insight
what questions did you have for your hirevue
anyone know if/when additional superdays are happening for sa 24?
they apparently conduct superdays through summer until their class is filled. the april one (the one I did) was the first one, besides the one for ppl who did the engagement program (that one was in march). I think half their SA class is filled at this point, but I will probably decline my offer so there is at least one spot still.
why are you declining?
also how was the superday? how many interviews?
super helpful, thanks. around when was your superday (start/middle/end of the month?) and how many days in advance were you notified?
What is the SA recruiting process like?
Doing FT recruiting rn, and it's like a resume screen -> Hirevue + Predictive Assessment (I'm here) -> Case Type of Interview (I think this it) -> Superday.
Does this line up with SA process and did y'all have to do a case kind of interview in particular? Thanks!
Same spot as you, waiting on the case.
Do you know of anybody that got a case interview for FT?
How long ago did you apply
How long ago did you apply?
Applied less than a month ago, and the turnaround for an invitation to do the Hirevue and the Predictive Assessment was really quick like 2~3 days.
Got an email saying all parts of my app are being reviewed rn
for SA or FT?
FT
Do they send out the HireVue and Assessment together? I only got the HireVue.
gotta finish that first
anyone know if they're still doing superdays for SA, and how much of their class is full?
