Oaktree Capital - Summer Analyst?
Does Oaktree Capital (LA office) take Summer Analysts?
IF they do, are they ever given FT offers?
Thanks.

On the possibility for an SA position or a FT position out of undergrad, here are some answers from the WSO community:
- From WSO user @CRE_Banker" : From discussions with connections at Oaktree LA they rarely take on undergrads as Summer Analysts and they don't hire undergrads FT.
- From WSO user @Solidarity" : I know a few people who have gotten Oaktree internships... I don't think they give out fulltime offers though but they've definitely taken interns for a DCM type role in NY. Not sure about LA.
- From Certified Hedge Fund Professional – 1st Year Analyst @Matrick" : I have seen long-term internship for students at the Oaktree London office
We know of at least one WSO user got an undergrad SA interview, so there are likely others too. Just don’t count on a full-time offer.

Very Old forum. Do you know if they still give out internships maybe for sophomore year?

From discussions with connections at Oaktree LA they rarely take on undergrads as Summer Analysts and they don't hire undergrads FT.
Anyone have more info? But yea i would think they hire very experienced only
I have seen long-term internship for students at the Oaktree London office, but I never heard about any traditional PE internships in the US offices.

This is what we call a serious mystake of the management team . 35 M € it' a large investment ....and big lost .
Oaktree PARR Summer Intern Interview Help!!! (Originally Posted: 12/12/2017)
Has anyone had any experience interviewing for the Portfolio Analytics, Risk & Reporting (PARR) internship position with Oaktree Capital Management? If so, is it pretty much all behavioral, excel, accounting, modeling, and/or financial questions? Anything helps!
Also, if I do end up getting this gig, will this be better than a lower/mid MM, finance role at a large tech company, or PE at a smaller firm if I wanna end up doing investment banking?
Hey smartypantstest, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:
If we're lucky, maybe these professional users will respond: Christa-Williams-Collett dybala blind_banker
