Any idea on the recruitment process for the U.S. 2025 analyst program. This is for graduates Dec 2024 or May 2025.
I just got an email for aptitude tests, I thought this process was already complete before holidays but could be mistaken.
What is next step after the video and aptitude tests usually?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, Eastdil's recruitment process typically involves multiple stages. For the U.S. analyst program, after completing the aptitude tests and video interviews, the next steps often include:
Technical Interviews: These are likely to test your understanding of financial concepts, real estate knowledge, and problem-solving skills. For Eastdil, technical interviews can sometimes be conducted over the phone, and you may not need a computer for them, as noted in previous discussions.
Behavioral Interviews: These are designed to assess your fit with the company culture and your ability to work in a team. Expect questions about your past experiences, motivations, and how you handle challenges.
Superday or Final Round: This could involve multiple interviews with executives, analysts, and other team members. It may include case studies, modeling tests, or other practical exercises depending on the role.
If you thought the process was already complete before the holidays, it’s possible that Eastdil is conducting additional rounds or extending their timeline for certain candidates. Keep an eye on your email for further instructions and prepare thoroughly for the next stages. Good luck!

They make everyone do this, then they ghost you lol
Eastdil is probably the most nepotistic hiring firm out there lmao
has anyone heard back from eastdil?
It's actually against company policy to hire relatives of current employees... lmao
I interviewed with SF M&A two weeks ago for Second Round.
Haven't heard anything for super day yet - you?
Same! Haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully we hear back on Monday
took them forever between round 1 and 2. guessing it'll be about the same.
Is yours for 2026 or 2025?
2026 wbu?
Same, 2026 M&A.
Might honestly email them on wed/thur if no reply. It'll mark like 3 weeks since the last few interviews
Ok let me know what they say.
Have you got any updates? I have not
Nope. Nothing. I'm emailing tomorrow I think - been almost 3 weeks (probably cooked.)
Its been exactly 2 weeks for me
I emailed someone. U should also send an email rn to get their attention.
Not a bad idea, let me draft one up.
Sent him an email. I'll let you know if I ever get a reply.
Yea, I'm at 16-17 days rn. (interviewed the thursday before you) - hopefully we both get Superdays lol.
Yes hopefully. I am confused why we haven't heard back yet. Also did you send an email to your interviewer?
Yea. Replied to when he invited me for the Second round interviews. Just asked if there had been any updates in the process.
Any replies?
Nope. You?
Not looking good lol.
My roommate works at Eastdil
Is there anyway you can ask him please? Means a lot truly
Bump.
No idea if anyone is checking this thread anymore but someone on LinkedIn just posted their 2026 M&A internship offer acceptance for the SF office, so if you didn't get a superday, probably over.
I honestly thought they finished over a month ago
