Made it final round interviews. Hiring manager was weird and asked me if I had very specific skills that were not in the JD. No offer.

I’m now a Lead Data Scientist at BCG. I was applying for Senior Data Scientist at WHOOP (same role I ended up getting at BCG).

I had been an early adopter / heavy user of their product, elite athlete, lots of relevant technical experience from both advanced degree and industry, and I genuinely had been thinking about ways to improve their product for months.

I was super thrown off by the vibes from the hiring manager, but it is just one person, so I wouldn’t over index on it.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
