Hi! I'm an undergrad student at UC Berkeley. I recently got invited to do a SuperDay for Point72 for the trade support internship role for summer 2024. I'm lost on what to expect as I'm not too well-versed in the technical aspects of trading/finance. What should I expect and what technical aspects should I prepare?

Review the job description. Look up 10-15 other jobs of the same title at other firms - internship or not. And Google anything you don’t understand or don’t know about in them. Then review on YouTube. Also read about the firm and industry. Watch a 20 min video on hedge funds and Point72. Know our main strategies and highlight your strengths. Firms rarely higher interns for their experience in a role. We hire for aptitude. Hope that helps.

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized. Now I'm being called for another position which I applied through the same recruiter before for the same group but different role. My question is will Google reuse the positive feedback and will it help/add value to this new position?

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Advice/suggestions please:

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!
