Frequently Asked Questions
Fall 2026 Recruitment
Timeline
What do we look for?
We hope to admit people who will make the most of Promontory's resources and opportunities. We look for qualities such as discipline, curiosity, motivation, judgment, and candor. With this in mind, we are not looking for a previously established knowledge of or experience in finance. In our opinion, those who have a genuine interest in businesses tend to most meaningfully contribute to Promontory and its community.
When can I apply?
We accept applications from First and Second years on the first week of the Fall and Winter quarters. If you applied in a previous cycle, we welcome you to apply again.
