bum
Are you diversity/target? Thought they are reviewing apps after 4/16
.
Thought they start giving out first rounds after app?
same here. i guess we need to apply ASAP?
non diversity/non target but networked like a dog
Can you still be pushed for a first round? I thought Dartmouth partners did everything for that
idk man, I just networked like a dog and got a first round
Is this for London or NYC
NYC.
Whats Dartmouth Partners?
It's a head hunter firm
Same position, non-target/non-diversity, received first-round on Friday scheduled for Tuesday with Dartmouth
when did you apply?
Feb 26
Apparently they ask mostly behavioral questions and some mental math questions. I did an interview with Dartmouth partners for one of PWPs recruiting events earlier in the cycle, and if it's anything like that one, there'll be questions like
- What's a PWP deal you've been following
- Why do you want to do M&A at PWP?
Just basic stuff like that.
hey, what kind of mental math? 3x2 digit or like 2x2?
3x2 from what I've heard
no op, but do you think you can write down the problem on paper?
Man I work at PWP and this is absolute horse shit. What does 3x2 digit multiplication have to do with your abilities lmao
anybody who had the first round how was it??
are any more first rounds coming out?
I had a first-round and there were no curveballs. We did spend a good portion of the interview going through technicals, but none of them were challenging. Overall, I actually liked being interviewed by Dartmouth partners.
Same for me as well. got like 15 or so technicals which were straight from guides. Did get the mental math question everyone mentioned earlier, but it wasn't hard.
was it 3x2 digits?
did u get superday?
sadly not
2x2
Any idea when we hear about super days after first round?
Interviewer said soon, could be as early as Friday for the first batch
Assuming that if we didn’t receive a 1st round by now, we got dinged?
The deadline is april 18th, and HR said it wasn't rolling in the info session. I wouldn't be worried yet. The people who got interviews on here are probably outliers. Or, they're lying.
.
heard back, got superday
what day?
did u hear back too?
dude are you lying?
No, had first-round on Tuesday, but haven't heard back about superday
Had first round on Wednesday - anyone else hear back about superday?
Na, wbu?

When was your first round?
April 12th
Target or nontarget?
can u guess from my username
also have superday for next week
How did your super day go? Any surprising questions?
only 2 have heard back so far?? They could be lying guys!
def are not, my interviewer said we would probably hear back on Thursday, also makes no sense for ppl to lie
ugh
bump anybody else hear back?
^^ anyone hear anything
I spoke with an MD a week ago and he said that they begin reviewing resumes on the 18th
ya no way people have superday lol
friend has SD tomorrow (non-diversity). make of that info what you wish but the 2 people saying they got SDs on this thread ain't lying
target?
non-target for EBs (PWP included) but target for most BBs
which office?
rejected this morning. Had first round last week.
Same. Thought I did well too. Unfortunate
how were ppls superday?
so are there waves of first-round invites or are they all out by now? If i haven't heard anything should assume rejected?
Has anyone heard back from the super?
no but im a lock
Has anyone heard back after their first rounds for PWP Chicago? Or is everyone talking about NY and SF?
not trying to be annoying, but bump
got call and offer from partner 2mins ago
How did you know you were a lock?
dont worry abt it
You sound like the biggest prick I know, and I know some pretty big ones.
did you get an offer for the NY office?
yes
Any updates from anyone else?
Just got notified I got the offer. NY office and target/non-diversity for anyone wondering.
Congrats! Was also just notified so I think the first batch of offers are out.
How did you hear back?
How was your super day? Was it technical heavy or more focused on fit? Appreciate any insight.
How long after your superday did you hear about the offer?
Congrats! Were you notified via phone call?
.
Are nontarget non diversity first rounds for NY out?
Anyone know if there are more first rounds coming out for NY?
Bruh they wrapped up the superday already.
Didn't the application close only a few days ago? And they said they weren't rolling
Wondering if anyone got SD for SF office... The invite was supposed to go out on Friday and SD on Monday or Tuesday
same with chicago...anyone have any insights?
bump – any superdays from SF?
heard the interviews already went on, haven't got one myself
My buddy had a superday on Monday this week. I'm pretty sure there was another superday on Tuesday as well...He hasn't heard anything, though.
SF superdays were on Tuesday of this week!
Is there a GC for NY '22?
.
Anyone hear back from the SF Superdays?
Bump
Bump
Anyone hear back from LA superdays?
following
Have a superday next Thursday. What M&A did they ask? Any basic valuation and accounting?
Mind if I ask what office? And congrats!
Bump
Is PWP NY full?
same question
I have a superday there tomorrow so I would think they still have some spots open
bump
just got a first round, are the darthmouth partners interviews over the phone or zoom?
So to confirm, have all first rounds for non-targets non diversity been given out?
What is superday like?
4 30 minutes one technical rest behavioral
Also had this same format
Anyone down to start up a group chat for NY '22 (if there isn't one already?)
Could I asked how long it took to receive offer after superday?
Received offer same day
Received offer same day
Received offer next day
Know your basic three statements, how things flow, walk through dcf as baseline. That's what i got asked in my first call
Recieved offer
Just signed offer
Any internationals with offers?
