Was told first round notifications will happen during the first 2 weeks of March and that the process should be wrapped up in early April

 

Yep. Got the email last week. Have spoken to alum and 4 other folks at the firm multiple times who all say networking doesn’t matter much. Being able to articulate a genuine interest in SaaS investing and Vista as a firm matters more.

 

First rounds have been the past week and this week. Second rounds given out tomorrow or Thursday.

 

Got 2nd, for some reason email showed up in my promotions / ads inbox so maybe look there

 

did anyone else do their second round with a person from the chicago office?

 

Did first round with someone in Chicago and 2nd with someone from Austin . Asked about the location choosing process and they said all summers will be in austin and then have the option to choose either chic or austin in the future.

 

looks like its two first rounds then. i had the opposite. also since it seems like a lot of ppl got the second round

 

Vista doesn't have a Houston office... Only Austin. All interns will be in Austin and those that receive FT offers have the choice between Chicago and Austin.

 

Hey guys,

Can anyone PM me or is anyone open to me PM'ing them regarding the interview process, relevant topics to research for interviews etc. ?

I just noticed that there’s a 2023 pe summer analyst posting on my school’s (non target) handshake. Posted like a week ago and expires on sep 11 or smth. I thought applications closed like half a year ago and they would be far into second rounds and what not. Heard some people were already extended offers. Anybody in the know care to comment on whether they are still looking for ppl in their summer analyst class? Thanks!

 

Yea, I heard back on the 14th about the next round. Was surprised since I finished like 42 questions on the CCAT

 

I had mine today as well and have not heard back yet. Thought R2 was tmrw through Fri but the email also says the dates are subject to change, so I guess we could hear back tmrw 

 

Most likely gonna hear back tomorrow since they make decisions after everyone is done
