Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Balyasny Asset Management.
Investment Analyst
The interview process was quite lengthy, but the people I met were remarkably humble and intelligent. I had the opportunity to speak with every member of the team. The individuals here appear genuinely pleasant, which stands out compared to many other buyside firms. There's also a noticeable emphasis on company culture and community, which is quite refreshing.
- Were you asked standard hedge fund interview questions?
- Were you asked behavioral questions?
Investment Analyst
There were 4 interviews in total, with one specifically being a coding interview focusing on SQL. The other interviews were mainly to assess cultural fit. The people interviewing were great.
- SQL questions were presented on screen for you to explain.
Portfolio Manager
Got referred to Balyasny by someone who used to work there. Was asked to come in and meet with a partner. He seemed really distracted and I don't think he let me fully answer his questions. Said he'd get back to me in a few weeks but never did.
- Can you tell me about the kinds of stocks you invest in?
- Do you think your investment strategy can be scaled up?
