I've received my HireVue - just did it earlier actually haha.
Just did the HireVue myself, don't think it went so hot... They're always so awkward.
Any ideas on when we hear back one way or the other?
The email says w/in 2 weeks
Yes I did my hirevue yesterday where it said that was the last day.
Anyone know what to expect for the case study?
Anyone get the case yet?
No
Not yet
Ditto - haven't received it
Anyone get case today?
Nope. Have u heard anything?
Nothing on my end yet either
Just got case, anyone else?
Nope - guess I got dinged. Best of luck to u
I just got an email saying I'm through to the case study. CS to be assigned this coming Mon w 1 week to complete.
i got the case email around 8:30pm last night too. Anyone have any idea of what to expect from the case?
i got it too - what is everyone's background. I'm a 1st year in an M&A group at a BB.

Anyone get confirmation after submitting case?
I did not. You?
Nope. Don't think they set up an automated email response
London or NYC?
How much of a pay cut do you take your first year in the point 72 program if coming from IB, say you go after being a 2nd year or even a third year analyst. Is the pay progression as good as IB?
You make more than an analyst 1 2 or 3 in banking. Associates would likely take a pay cut
Thank you
Do you mean total comp pay cut?
does anyone have an idea on when we can expect to hear back after submitting the case? Im assuming a while since they have to review alot? i didnt feel great about it tho so not expecting too much lol
.
not yet.
Heard back from the case, gotten an invitation to proceed with the HR interview.
any idea what the class size will be for the academy this time around?
id guess 5-7 spots for the experienced program per year.
This seems unlikely given that it's only been a few days since the case due date and the next round isn't with HR.
I hope that they're still sending out invites - but fyi the first round interview is with HR (academy recruiter), followed by a debrief with an analyst coach
I haven't heard back. Has anyone else?
Out of curiosity, how was the case study? Is it just build a model based on something they give you? Week to do it?
Investment recommendation writeup + 3 statement model. 1 week
Hey, did you take the one week case study? Would love to connect in the DMs, if so. Have one coming up in a week or so and looking to get some materials pre-built.
Has anyone heard back from HR after indicating the desired time slots?
Not yet...I hope we get something tomorrow since chose an AM slot for Monday as my #2 choice ahah. Have you heard anything?
Got dinged! Good luck to the rest still in the process
They couldn’t possibly go through that many models and investment reports within a week. I wonder how they actually selected who to progress
Did you get a rejection email?
I’ve finished my interview. Will hear back from the next week or so.
good luck y’all.
hi @resili any updates on your side?
Unfortunately I have been dinged after HR interview.
Anyone hear back after the case study interview with an Analyst Coach?
you did the case debrief already?
anyone has any updates post case study? also if super day includes modelling test?
Any updates for people?
nope, what's your status, done for the case debrief?
Anyone hear back after debrief?
Yes. Interviews with sector heads happening atm.
Is this before superdays?
Finished this round - think there’s still next one- super day. All the best!
What round are you referring to?
Interview with sector head. Did you finish it already?
How long did it take you to hear back after your sector head interview?
like 24hours
Just to update you all as promised: heard back regarding next round. Interviews to take place next week.
Did your sector head webex call say "superday" when you clicked into the meeting? Is next round (this week) with another sector head?
nope. Just said interview. This recent round is with an investment professional
