KKR SA 2023

Yo, thought I would make a tread for those applying to KKR SA roles for 2023. I applied around two weeks ago, then four days ago I got an email to take the IQ test thing. I then got an email where I ranked the top 3 groups (for me I went with global impact (ESG), private credit, and insurance).

Got the email as well, I am also really looking into the ESG role in NYC. Anxious because I feel like this is really the right fit for me IMO but I absolutely have no clue about timelines

 

Had to take one for another company. They asked questions like what shapes don't go with these other shapes, simple percentage questions, multiplication questions, grammar questions. All really random. I didn't prepare but still got everything done within the time

 

sorry know this is late. not sure if you would be in the process at the time you said you got a first round. I have a close family friend at the firm so I got put through an accelerated process in mid-late jan., signed the offer jan. 28, said they were looking to wrap up recruiting by feb. 7th :( but good luck next year!!

 

Anyone go to a H/S/W and NOT get a hirevue? I have not heard anything and have a sophomore gig at a top PE/HF firm.

 

Additional data point: I'm a non-diversity candidate from a semi-target and an incoming sophomore summer at a regional boutique bank. Yesterday afternoon I received an email about the first round hire-vue. Does anyone know if we can go back and see the group preferences we put down? I kept shifting mine around, and I can't remember what I ended up putting on the form

 

@everyone, group selection email doesn't matter. The reason that email was sent was because hey changed the ranking options on the original application. Before, you could rank all of the groups 1-3. Now, you can only rank Menlo/NY PE as the first option and not 2 or 3. They updated the original application which is why everyone pre-update got the group preference email and why people who applied after have not.

 

Just want to comment for anyone wondering/for people who read this thread in the future. Completed my HireVue today and it was 7 questions with 2 mins (?) to answer each question. 5/7 questions were classic behavioral q's and I had two "technical q's" that was quite basic.  

Good to luck to all of us who are still in the hunt! 

 

I applied last week on Tuesday then got the sent the PI assessment last Friday, and just completed it today.

Only got through 40 questions so we'll see this week.

Are you sure you didn't receive 2 emails about the same hirevue? Because I received the hirevue email and then another email from KKR to notify me about the hirevue

 

Got invited for 2 30-min interviews this week for infra. Submitted hirevue 2/18. Anyone else done interviews with a person? 

 

If you received an interview for one group, are you still in the process for other groups? Curious how that works - would you interview with all the groups that invite you and then, if receiving multiple offers, choose?
