Former associate in the group. They generally take 4-5 SAs with the expectation to give them all offers. However, it's based completely on performance....one summer they only took 1/5. Here are reasons summers weren't hired when I was there: couldn't work the hours (~80-90/week for a SA), immature (one guy air dropped an inappropriate pic to the entire floor), inability to pick up concepts, and overly shy/awkward.      

If you work hard, act normal and generally follow best practices you will get a return offer (applies to all groups at BX). Hope this helps. 

 

BX hours are more in line with IB than traditional RE shops. Keep in mind that as a summer analyst, you tend to work more hours because you don't know much, so every task takes you 3x longer than an analyst to complete. That said, analysts also work brutal hours on the AM team. Keep in mind that you're not asset managing single asset deals or 10-property portfolios...you're asset managing REIT take-privates and huge platform deals which can have 100s of properties. It's not an easy job, but you learn a ton and truly work with the best in the business. 

Can't speak for the AM groups at other megafunds, but I imagine they grind too.
