Credit Suisse NY

if i haven't gotten a first round yet is it too late?

You still have a chance, if you hear back later than expected, chances are you are on hold.

Keep your fingers crossed, because the people who aren't signing are hoping for a better offer.

ojayoj:

Have any of the liberal arts students, non-core schools heard back yet from CS New York. I heard wednesday is final day for offers. Any additional info would help, thanks.

Do they get back to people who didn't get the job, or does not hearing back mean you are on the wait list?

they always get back regardless of the outcome, especially in final rounds.

i was there too, all i was told is that i'd hear back Wed. haven't heard anything yet though

were this past Friday, then you'd normally hear back anytime between tomorrow and wedn....if you dont hear by then, it's probably b/c you're a borderline candidate and they're trying to figure out who accepts, etc....before giving out more offers

So it seems like CS is different from most banks? I thought I read on here that most people get their offers from the superdays on the same day or the next day (mine wasn't on Friday, so I didn't have the weekend to deal with).

i don't know if this makes a difference, but the superday on friday seemed to be mostly for non-targets (there was one guy from brown, one from stanford, one from northwestern, but 90%+ seemed to be from non-targets), so it might take a little longer

i was told by some associate that normally they'd make offers the next day, that would have been the Saturday. Although the HR ppl said Wendesday, i guess thats just the day everyone will know if they have an offer or not.

damn. i guess i'm out of luck then.

If it's been a week since the superday and you've heard nothing, are you almost definitely a reject?

was referring to different firm.....stanford (as good as it is) is non-target for NYC banking jobs...so they'd have to go through same process.

I didnt know that Brown and Northwestern for non-targets for NYC.

not a week, 2 days. the superday was on friday (i.e. feb 2nd), i was told to expect a response on wed there. but oyayoj said that acceptences may have been given out saturday (feb. 3rd) which would mean i didn't get one.

I heard back from Credit Suisse the next business day (Wednesday) when I interviewed with them last year. I got an offer, but my friend didn't and he said they called him that same day as well. For the banks I interviewed with on Friday, I usually heard back on Monday or Tuesday if I got an offer. Generally Tuesday late afternoon or later in the week if I didn't get an offer.

It all really depends on how much they want you. If you are top-ranked in your superday and they know you have other opportunities, you can be damn sure they'll call you immediately (right after the interviews, in fact).

If you are bad, you'll also hear from the bank soon. The people that don't hear back right away are borderline--the bank is waiting on others before it makes a decision.

I've been waiting nearly a week from a BB.

i prbly made a mistake then. an MD asked me where else i was interviewing. I told him the truth and mentioned i had one other offer, but continued to tell him that CS was my first choice by a huge margin. in hindsight, i prbly should have been more ambiguous so they would feel pressure to call sooner.

neomage, who was the MD ? and were you also in a pod of 5 or less?

i pm'd you the details

I feel your pain I waited three weeks after a superday, the anticipation sucks, don’t keep checking your e-mail every five minutes they call you at this stage. When I got the call all they said was they would not be giving me an offer. If you are waiting this is the story, you’re on hold. If the other swinging dicks don’t take their offers then you’re the flavor of the month. What’s the chance they don’t accept all depends on the prestige of the firm.

Went to another superday got a call the next day with offer, HR sent contract within five days. This business is competitive if you made it to a superday then you’re money, so don’t think you’re finished.

i had a superday last year for an internship and they called me the day after

So do you think they're gonna be taking 2 of 5 or 3 of 5?

Has anyone heard anything yet?

I'm from a non-target school and still haven't heard back at all from CS. I applied Jan 4th (deadline was 5th) to be a summer analyst in IB and have yet to get an email saying I've been rejected and the website doesn't say any thing either...is there something wierd going on or are they just really bad at notifying rejected applicants?

not hearback if you're not considered for an interview. As harsh as it sounds, consider yourself rejected if you haven't heard back yet and you applied through the website. That applies for any bank. Try contacting someone within the bank and ask them about your status.

i was at the feb. 2nd superday and just got dinged ...

July 8th

I went to one several weeks ago. Three interviews, one conversational with some technical and the other really intense technical.

Bump

Had a 12/11 superday (and came out with an offer). My first interview was somewhat technical and went in-depth on NAV modeling, and we covered DDM as well. I was asked stuff like what an NAV/share value meant versus share price for a REIT, as well as more basic 'vanilla' questions. Other interviews were almost purely fit- why banking, why CS, what do you do for fun, and the like.

+1

do u even know anyone in that firm? what makes u think u can get interviewed?

What do you think?

someone made a post a while back saying what the big firms' recruiting effort status was like, and pretty much all of them were filled. I think Credit Suisse was like 90% filled, but I don't remember.

Disclaimer: The post above has been made by someone who is not currently employed in IBD, and has not had an interview yet...

-

1. great
2. chill, ass-holes, technical, behavioral
3. know your shit

this post was waste of time.

you asked for it

IBD or S&T? One of my buddies hasn't heard back after a first round for S&T and another friend has a first round this week sometime (also S&T)

no not s&t. ibd

i had an S&T superday for CS on 1/25 and a friend had one on 2/8

I had a IBD non-target superday on the 11th and have not heard back.

bump...has anyone heard back?

my experience with their NY sales and trading is that if you don't get a call the night of/the day after, you are most likely on hold. good luck guys!

has anyone heard yet about the 2/11 superday yet?

Ace, I still haven't heard back yet. I interviewed on 2/11 for IBD.

Yea me neither. When did they say they would let us know?

HR told me as I was walking out that we should know within a week. I have a feeling we're on a waitlist but who really knows...

They told me the Friday after my superday that I was on hold and then said that I would have a formal actual decision by the end of this current week.

Well I guess that means I got dinged...

I think urquie is talking about the s&t superday on 1/25 though. totally different but who knows what's going on.

I am talking about the S&T on 1/25...I have been on hold since the Friday following that...a friend interviewed last week and got told on the following Monday that he didn't get it...They told me that within 3 weeks I would know whether I was extended an offer or not...
