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, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctv: 13 lpa

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?
