Balyasny Asset Management's 2025 internship class accepted only 0.5% of applicants, with approximately half assured of a full-time job offer post-internship. Interns Hinal Jajal and Francesco Catanzariti, now full-time employees, shared their experiences and emphasized key strategies for success, such as 'failing quickly' and maintaining a broad focus rather than fixating on one task. Both interns were surprised by their access to senior leaders and the feedback they received, underscoring the importance of engagement and proactive communication.
"Landing an internship at a top financial institution is one thing. Leaving with a job offer is another - especially at an uber-selective, highly competitive hedge fund."
"Both Catanzariti and Jajal said they were pleasantly surprised by the amount of access they had as interns to Balyasny's senior leaders and portfolio managers."
