Do you know anything about second round interviews? Has anyone heard back from the first rounds yet? How are the second rounds structured?

 

I have not heard back after my 1st. But 2nd rounds are most likely to be held in Mid-October

 

I was told that responses regarding second rounds will come ~3-4 weeks after the first round, which is a pretty long wait imo. I think they also interview a lot of people, so I also don't think my chances are high.

 

First round consisted only of only general technicals for me, no idea how it will be in second round. Has anyone received anything regarding second round?

 

I had general technicals, paper LBO, and a market sizing question (consulting-like).. also told feedback can last up to 4 weeks after first round, no idea what the second round will be on except that it's gonna be two interviews with investment professionals - so higher up in seniority compared to analyst/associate leading first round 

 

Was not asked a single technical question. Only discussed my motivation, background, etc.. Honestly, enjoyed the interview. Feedback for second round will come start to mid of October.

 

Non target + BB FT / internships + MF internship + 3 European languages

 

I got my first round last week so they’ll prob get back soon, I must have been part of the last batch

 

Did you receive a response for a 1st round ? I remember we both received the vague email saying that we have to wait 

 

around 6 weeks haha.. but I'm guessing they will revert to you soon considering you were the last batch of first round & they just started handing out 2nd rounds
