Anyone have any information on this 2 year program? Also, if anyone has had experience with the final round interviews, I would appreciate any insight you have.

I've got an interview coming up with Oppenheimer & Co. for an IB analyst position, and I was wondering if anyone has anything to say about the culture of the bank after the CIBC acquisition. Also, is the first round of interviews more fit or technical? Are they hiring in the NYC office or looking to take more analysts for their satellite offices? Thanks in advance.

Finally, after much scrambling around, I received an internship offer from a European investment bank (comparable to Soc Gen), but the firm has a rule that SAs can't work more than 35 hours each week.

After getting passed over for a lot of interviews with BBs and the big name MMs, I'm considering taking a four week I-Banking summer program in Switzerland that is supposedly taught by VPs and MDs at big name NYC firms. It features rigorous academics (nine hours of class per day, plus several hours of group work).
