How to get in at DRW
Applying early for a position at DRW is a significant advantage, as recruiters often fill roles before the applicant pool becomes unmanageable.

You should aim to reach out to the hiring team directly to ask about the role or a potential referral, as this personal touch materially improves response rates. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company's roles to help you make those connections. It is a more effective strategy than waiting for a response from a generic portal.
