Last Shot Super Day at Blackrock Index&ETF Investing SA 2022
Following my last thread.
Boys, I just received the final round invitation for the 2022 Summer Analyst from Blackrock Index&ETF Investing in Hong Kong. This is the first time for me to break into the super day and I have a sense this is gonna be a now or never moment for me to enter the industry. I'm gonna have my interview in a week and I still don't know what to expect. (it's gonna be 2 back-t0-back 45 min interviews with probably senior people)
I would admit I have always been an underdog, growing up in a small city in China and having a fairly modest upbringing, but I swear this is probably "the moment" when I feel I am so close to realizing my dreams. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I’ve been watching Shia’s just do it for an hour now, hopefully I would be more confident in myself when I wake up tomorrow.
Happy thanksgiving lads.
congrats!!! When do you have your last round interview?
Last week same time
Wow, I'm sure you can do it! Did they ask you to select a time slot between nov 16,17,18 as well?
Oh, thank you so much!!!
Boys, it’s thanksgiving and I’m grinding. Anyone has any insight regarding what the final round would look like? I’d buy you coffee in return
Update: Finished my final round on Wednesday HKT and was reached out by HR the next morning, who asked me whether I had other offers. Donno whether that's a good sign or Nah, as she mentioned the team is taking some time to make a decision.
Having sleeping problems post-superday these days, and apparently, I had some anxiety-induced dyspepsia. If anyone could shed some light on anything, you will be much appreciated.
Hey, in all honesty, we all go through the post-super day anxiety, but you gotta have enough faith in yourself to deal with this. You must've done well, buddy. You really want this, and you'll get it. Best of luck!!
Bro, much appreciation and love. I am deciding whether I should reach out to my contacts there again as one of my friends who was reached out by HR already received an offer today (Friday afternoon HKT). I guess I'd give it a shot during the weekend.
Apparently, I am on the waitlist now boys. My contact told me they invited 6 candidates to the final round and they planned to take 3. While the top choices were already extended offers the next day, I am still waiting for anyone to turn down the offer. Fingers-crossed...
Good luck! I'm also an international student so I know that the whole recruiting is extremely hard especially for us but you did a great job!
Received a verbal offer yesterday. It turned out I got lucky and got off the waitlist (as someone turned down the offer) it was such an emotional moment that tears already came out of my eyes, and I could not help think of the past 12 months, during which I have been struggling and have failed so many times that I nearly gave up.
I hope this post could help anyone who is or will be struggling in the recruiting season, worrying about it, and thinking they won’t make it. Anything is possible, boys, as long as you have faith in yourself. You are gonna make it!
I would also like to thank all the lads on this forum who helped me and supported me during the process. Thank you for your encouraging words and mental supports, I won’t make it without your help.
Much appreciation and love

AndyLouis what it's all about right here
Yes, Mr. Burns! Was greatly encouraged and made many friends here. And hopefully, my story will encourage those who doubt themselves and find it impossible to break into the industry (while I thought WSO is more like a douche camp in the beginning).
love to see it
Would you mind PMing me as I am interested in finding out more about ETF and Index Investing at BlackRock (specifically in a Portfolio Manager role)?
Really congratsss!!!! Your hr is responsive? I kinda email my hr for two times but they don't reply., I know those who don't get it directly get rejected. But usually, people get response. Do ya have any suggestions on chasing the result?
Hey, if it's after superday I'd say you are probably on the waitlist right now, as they'll call their top choices right after the interview (according to what I know).
The suggestion I received during the process from my contacts on the team was the only thing I could do was to pray. It's probably true as you won't get in unless someone turns their offer down. But keep your heads up tho, for many people turned down in the past and chose IBD or PWM (BLK does pay lower at the end of the day)
Hi! Just wanna say congrats and all. I’m going through you had last year right now. I received a first round interview from BlackRock ETF&Index trading for the next week. Can you share any first round interview questions? Many thanks!
