I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Point72 (London, England) in July 2023
Interview
Long, but good conversations. Asked for stock pitches, process and investment style. Model test and cognitive test both quite easy with some training. Some interviews in the offices and some online.
Many steps, had case study with 1 week to present followed by case study debrief and follow up interviews with different portfolio managers and HR folks. all went pretty quick and organized
Case study, HR interview, coach interviews. Had most experiences with the case as i applied to the role a couple times. The case would required you to do a stock pitch within 7 days including modeling from scratch and a 5-page writeup.
I applied online and then completed the case study. I made it to the first 15-min round with the recruiter, but was rejected after that. If I was more prepared, I would have been fine. Make sure you read up on recent market news and a stock to pitch.
