The interview process

  1. 1

    Application

    Official

    Apply through your school's job board or the BAM careers site (Open Roles portal). Recruiters review applications and consider you for other relevant positions; applying to several roles does not raise your chance of a phone interview. Internship hiring is on a rolling basis, mostly in the fall and winter before a summer start. Balyasny says it receives about 40,000 internship applications a year.

  2. 2

    Phone interview

    Official

    If there is an open opportunity that fits, a recruiter schedules a phone interview.

  3. 3

    Team and campus-team interviews and technical assessments

    Official

    Further interviews and technical assessments follow. Internship candidates interview for a specific team; the process varies by team, with challenging and dynamic conversations with team members and assessments to vet technical skills. Interviews are also held with the campus team and the team you might join.

  4. 4

    Campus stock-pitch competition

    Official

    BAM hosts a fall university stock-pitch competition in New York; in 2025 the top three teams earned the chance to interview for Summer 2026 internships.

  5. 5

    Fit screen, technical rounds, pitch case and PM superday (equities)

    Reported

    A prep guide reports the equities path as: application or stock-pitch competition, a fit screen, two to three technical rounds, a take-home pitch case, then a portfolio-manager superday, centred on a hedged discretionary stock pitch (thesis, valuation, catalyst and risk/hedge) plus rapid-fire accounting and a live markets view. This stage list rests on a secondary source, not on Balyasny.
