Heard from a highly ranked source that they'll reach out shortly to schedule 1st rounds. Anyone have any other updates? Also, how technical are their interviews supposed to be? as well as how non-target friendly they are.

What location
For New York
This is for the accelerated process though. You can still submit applications for the normal process (deadline is May 31st).
I applied a day later than the first deadline. lol hopefully im considered
Wouldn't everyone apply before the first deadline if there is an accelerated process lol
I would imagine man. Didn't do any networking from my target, hopefully i get first round lol
In the same shoes. Do you know how much they care about networking?
Their SA classes are pretty small. I would expect that unless your resume just jumps off the table, networking is always helpful.
Did anyone hear back from PWP regarding an interview?
not yet. heard first rounds we’re being conducted by a 3rd party service - not PWP directly.
How would that be done? video interviews?
Also did your status change in the dashboard?
Did anyone else get a first round? I got one but not sure if this is for SF or NY since it was all the same app
email？
yea email
Were you able to find out if it was for SF or NY?
not yet but i've asked, will reply and let you know when i find out
I know for a fact I am getting invited for NY and I haven't received a mail yet. So, I am guessing it is SF. Did you receive it within the hour?
yup I did. I think its for NY cuz I think SF does first rounds for either their healthcare or tech group specifically and the email didnt specify
Relatively technical but not the most technical on the street. Friendly to non-targets so long as you network aggressively. Otherwise, you're out of luck
Thanks. I have definitely networked my way into an interview. Friendly as in easier or friendly as in just treat you as equals?
Once your foot is in the door as a non-target, they don't care about school pedigree. Like most places, it just comes down to you as a candidate
Anyone other than the guy who said he got invited, get invited for an interview for NY?
curious as well
found out it was for SF
Thought so. Thanks for keeping us in the loop and all the best!
Does everyone's dashboard say you are currently being considered for this job?
Under Review?
Mine shows under review last updated on the 6th
1st rounds started at SF office. Superdays done for diversity candidates already.
source/so ur saying they havent sent out NY first rounds yet?
If they are saying that, then that is excellent news!
No idea about NY; just have people that have either received offers already for SF/in the pipeline for SF. Hope that helps.
Target school, submitted on April 6th ( day late), no networking, and got under review. Not sure if it means anything though
Target for PWP?
not exactly sure if it’s target for pwp but target for most. top3 on US news
Probably doesn't mean anything. Everyone is getting the "Under Review". So, I guess it is as good as "application submitted".
Any updates for the NY office?
Haven't heard anything yet. I expect something this week, though.
why
Any updates for PWP NY?
oh
I would expect that it takes place when SF finishes up.
Has anyone in SF heard about superdays?
when did you have your SF first round?
I was told Superdays are taking place this week
Got diversity offer but might have to renege unfortunately
Why is that
Interested in a competitor
.
Just received a 1st round invite for NYC office
Just received a 1st round invite for NYC office
how “just” was it? and was it a banker or Dartmouth Partners?
Target?
Diversity?
Received invite today. Non-Diversity & target school.
I guess hello is trolling
why
i think so too
Would they run different processes for Target and Non-Targets?
I don't think so. I think he is trolling, too.
Did anyone else hear back for NY besides "hello"?
Just got a first round for PWP, non diversity, non target, talked to only one person in the NY office. I would assume the interview is for the NY office.
When did you apply and when did you hear back? If you don’t mind, what are your past experiences and gpa like?
..
Did anyone get invited for a first round for PWP NY today?
Got an invite last night for what I think is NY (I applied for a couple offices)
why do u think its NY? u can pref 2 locations on the app too - got an sf first round last week but not sure if that means im out of the running for NY
Has anyone heard anything about the deal flow at the Chicago office? I know the head of industrials came from Citi when it opened up in 2018. Also, Any updates on Chicago 1st rounds for Sa 2021? Thanks
Did anyone else hear back for NY?
when did you have your NY interview? my interviewer said they would be talking to the NY team next week
does that mean there are no more first rounds coming out?
Anybody hear back from SF first rounds? Any word on an SF superday?
which day was ur SF interview?
Monday morning
Did anyone get invited for a first round for PWP NY today?
how do you know if ur interview is for SF or NY? i got invite a few days back fyi
What did you put as first choice
Anyone have insight into what kinds of questions Dartmouth asks?
why do you have your rank set to Analyst 1 big boy?
bruh, perhaps I have a dartmouth interview with another firm
Anyone hear back about PWP super day yet? Or know the timeline?
for NY?
Ny, San Fran, or Chi? yes
for those of you who have had the interview, did it include anything related to Rx?
nope. Behavioral, and a lot of technicals mostly valuation and M&A questions
That many rechnicals with a headhunter? Where they hard M&A?
Anyone know when we're supposed to hear back after first rounds?
You had a first round for NY?
I have no clue which city it was for, but I selected Chicago and NY
Any updates for non-diversity first round invites for NYC?
they must be out by now
I assume so as well. But no one has said anything directly about NY on this thread and I don't know anyone personally who got one. I'm a non-target with friends at targets.
I networked pretty hard and have heard nothing back yet, is all hope lost?
I had some solid networks too but havent heard back. Non-target school. Their application is divided up by accelerated and non-accelerated, so maybe they will do it separately.
I know the 1st round interview email said that final rounds were to be in approximately 2 weeks, so people should be hearing for super days very soon for all locations- Sf, NYC, Chicago
anyone heard back about a superday yet for SF or NY?
Has anyone had a first round yet who only applied to NY (and not multiple locations)?
Yep applied NY had 1st round a few days back
damn, do you know if they give them out on a rolling basis? I was referred to HR and am worried i have not heard anything
I know they said that the final would be 2 weeks after the first round, but do you know when we will hear back if we got through?
Got invite recently for NY, non-target and networked.
first round?
yes
how many people did you network with?
Also Just got first round... What technicals should I expect besides for what are the diff valuation methods?
Did you network?
not at all
technicals were very easy. HR interview
What type of accounting did thye ask?
Just heard back from the LA office, their class is full for 2021
edit: the LA office class is full, don't know about the other offices
Do you know anything about NY superdays?
Have you heard back from Dartmouth yet?
Any info on if there are going to be waves of more first rounds?
Bump
.
last week ... have interview tom
.
how were technicals for first round? and then how were the ones for super day, in comparison?
both were fairly easy if u know valuation/acct. is anyone else having superdays/have heard back?
Had hour long first round today for NY Office- said I would hear back sometime this week about next steps.... Any advice? Any help? THoughts?
chill because it’s out of your control. nothing you do now will change anything
lol im chill --- Just asking about other people's experience
Are there more waves of first rounds?
Anybody from the most recent round of first-rounds get a super-day invite? Had interview earlier this week and still waiting.
did you network?
also still waiting to hear back, had interview yesterday
we’re all in the same boat. had mine yesterday and waiting
Had superday last week, got offer yesterday.
