I wanted to start a post about the Partners Group 2025 Financial Analyst Program. Did anybody else apply to this and has anyone heard back? I checked with my friend who is in the program last week and was told that they did not hear anything yet.

Also applied and have not heard back yet
Bump - anyone get 2nd round?
Did you have a first round? Still haven’t heard anything.
Got 1st round last week. Interviewer said I'll hear back this week- so far nothing. Anyone heard back yet?
If I haven’t heard back can I assume I got dinged?
Did my first round last week as well and my interviewer said I’d hear back this week. I guess we should just wait
have you heard back from them? i have not yet...
Also have not heard anything yet. Any chance there are still first rounds to go out or have I been dinged?
Bump
Didn't get a first round either and I thought I was a strong candidate as well. Don't know what's going on
Same here. Thought I was a strong candidate and even had a referral from a girl on the PD team. Not sure what happened
You think there’s a chance some candidates get pushed straight to 2nd round? I doubt it but I’ve heard of it happening before at IBs.
I doubt it as well but I had a referral too and my school is a target for the firm so who knows.
Damn dude. Pretty surprising we didn’t even get a first round if that’s the case.
I also had a referral and still haven’t heard anything
I got an official ding note
Did you have a first round interview?
Did you have an interview or nah?
No interview

I had my first round the week before the 4th of July, interviewer said they would lmk if I was moving on the week after the 4th - haven't heard anything yet so assuming I didn't move on. I do know they have 1000+ apps for 15 spots.
I was told the same thing. How did you find the interview?
My friend who got into the program last year told me about it
You know the FT recruiting cycle is bad when the PG analyst program that normally takes kids from MM firms at best(rare BB/EB kids even go for it) isn't giving a first round to BB/EB interns from targets.
lol ok prospect where’s your private equity offer
Lol not sure where you’re getting that info - all the FAs either have 1 year FT experience at a BB/EB or 12 months PE off-cycle experience
anyone got 2nd round invite?
I haven't heard a thing yet (not even first round). I assumed I got dinged but haven't received official note like some other people have. Anyone in same boat? What could this mean?
In the same boat. I'm assuming those who got rejections were given first rounds (unless someone received one without an interview in which case please let us know) and the rest of us who didn't receive interviews have been ghosted and rejected.
Someone in this thread said they received an official ding note but no interview. Not sure what to make of that
Bunp
Second rounds are out
RIP
Did your friend share any metrics about how many people got second rounds?
Anyone else still not get rejected?
I haven’t heard a single thing.
Anyone know the format of the second round? Seems to be 45 mins.
A mixture of behavioral and technical. Neither is too hard.
Anyone know when they will give decisions on super days?
Had my first round but haven’t heard back. Can I assume I’ve been rejected?
Has anybody received Super days yet?
Haven’t heard anything yet hbu
Superdays are out.
Didn’t make it to the super day unfortunately. Just curious, what’s the format for the final round?
I asked and here's what they said (PSA): It will be a variety of interviews over a 4-hour period. There is no specific prep you need to do ahead of time outside of general interview prep (there is not a model/excel test). That being said doing your homework on Partners Group (reading annual report, press releases, etc) never hurts.
Did you get an official notice?
also got spd invite. Could you PM me?
Anyone heard back for EMEA?
when is start date for this?
Feedback from the first round interviews is provided after this week.
Is this a 100% fact?
Had a first-round interview 3 weeks ago, and haven’t heard anything from them after that – preparing for the rejection
Did anyone who attended superday hear back yet? I’ve yet to hear anything unfortunately.
Are offers out
when is the start date for this?
What is the start date???
What is the total compensation for this?
Invitations to 2nd round went out yesterday
Hey I’ve been invited - do you have any insights on what sort of questions are likely to be asked?
Any superday invitations out yet?
Bump - has anyone heard back RE super day? Not sure how much longer they can keep us waiting.

Update - they responded saying they will deliver feedback this week. Good luck everybody!
Does anybody know how many they are hiring?
Like 20
How are they expecting us to get to Zug in a week’s notice, when a lot of us (myself included) will need time off work? Also a full time masters, so getting away from college won’t be easy either.
