Have an interview for Blackstone's portfolio management program. Anyone know what to expect for these interviews? Are they technical in nature? The role is a rotational program covering quite a few areas so not really sure what would be tested from a technical perspective

I don't think they are meant to be that technical, more situational and behavioural I'd imagine? Might be worth poking around Glassdoor for other portfolio management role interviews to get a sense of the type of questions

Since it's for the program and they do a ton of training after hiring, I wouldn't expect the initial interview to be excessively technical. I'd imagine more focus on logic and reasoning skills.

It would be more on the basics. But it wouldn't hurt if you prepare on the technical aspect. I'd say focus more on behavioral and situational questions.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
