Heard they do very small diversity class and only really if you did a program. Correct me if I’m wrong, afaik everything is in September otherwise
Feel like that's right. I networked with an alum there who said they may be moving up their process slightly. Definitely my top choice so just want to make sure I am up to speed on everything.
.
Welcome any feedback / intel from others who have networked with the firm
Just wait until the resume drop in the late summer lol. Keep ur contacts on standby
If I'm a non-target, do I have any chance? Also their site says don't send unsolicited e-mails. How serious is that? Should you not reach out for networking?
From what I've heard it really depends on the person... some may not appreciate it but ik for some people it's fine.
Cold emails have worked fine for me. I think 80%+ of CVP's class is from traditional target schools, but have anecdotally heard that they give an equal chance to non-targets if they are good.
If we aren't supposed to network, is it all based on the resume drop and your luck?
If you want an interview, you have to network from a none-target none diversity situation. Dropping a resume on their site is useless unless you have talked to someone.
Can confirm that diversity already started.
Has anyone heard back for superdays?
Anyone hear back from the non-diversity superday 2 weeks ago?
Accepted offer a couple weeks back. If anyone else has also, feel free to pm me

Sent you a PM

Are SF and PA on the same timeline? Also, is it frowned upon to recruit for both locations?
For PA tech and SF generalist
Good luck boys and girls! In 5 years time you might be up for A2A at CVP and their 200k retention bonus!
Got an offer for NY. Expedited process since got competing offer from a top BB. Lmk if you have questions!
Wasn't MS. Doesn't hurt to ask
Who did you reach out to ask about accelerated interviews, or did you apply through the portal and mention your offer? Also have a BB offer and interested in CVP.
I asked a person I spoke to at CVP for advice on an offer decision. I didn't ask explicitly for an expedited process, but to my surprise, they asked internally on my behalf and the process got started that way
How do they manage to get top talent when the recruit so late? Do people just renege? I'm only going to apply FT.
They said a good chunk of their intern class for 2022 is full already (they didn't do as much early recruiting in past years, but the process is really moving up for other firms), although they will have their dedicated fall round. A lot of people I know who had offers in the past either missed most of IB recruiting and applied (still extremely smart and qualified), got offers expedited, or were just offered interviews in the spring.
Know of the breakdown? Feels like my target has already had as many sign as they normally do and I’m worried their fall round will be hyper competitive
CVP will pull offers if/when they find out you reneged for them. Friend said someone didn’t get a FT offer despite doing well in the internship because he reneged a lower BB and pissed off the interviewer there
yo what the, is this true? how'd they find out they reneged
Why do they have such a late process then smh
.
They will start in September...is what I am told
Anyone have insights into what to expect for a first round 30 minute interview?
My school has first round interviews next week.
Technicals, standard behaviorals nothing out of the ballpark
Anyone know how they view reneging? lol
(deleted)
fuck me lol.. thanks
Does anyone with experience winning jobs at a BB/EB have availability to mock interview me? Willing to compensate for your time.
PM me
Sure. DM me.
Anyone know where they are in the process as of now?
Their app closes on my school at the end of august, with interviews starting shortly thereafter
Has Palo Alto started yet?
.
Has anyone ever gotten an interview by just dropping resume on their website? Don't have them on handshake
Bump
Can confirm yes
Are you non target?
Anyone know how long they usually take to decide on SDs? had a first round phone interview a little while ago for SF/ PA
Did you network or just drop resume online/Handshake?
Networking, was actually told to not submit anything on handshake
Anyone know when to network/apply on website for NYC? At target (semi-target for Centerview) but wondering
If your school is a target CVP posts on handshake. Otherwise you network and get into the process that way.
Saw the handshake posting but does CVP care if we network or are they fully merit-based and just screen our resumes there?
Anyone know about their class size/how much of their class is free? Heard they filled up most through diversity/accelerated offers earlier but not sure what to expect.
bump, also curious. if anyone could throw out a number that would be helpful. like do you think 50% filled is accurate or is it even more this year?
Does anyone know how soon we should hear back after a superday
did they take internationals?
Anyone from the Dartmouth SD hear back yet?
Not yet
Bump
Have any non-targets gotten first round for NYC
Bump
Is CVP generalist or different m&a and restructuring groups
Generalist but they do "restructuring focused" recruiting process at some schools
what schools?
Anyone know if I also need to apply on CVP's website if I submitted my resume / cover letter on handshake already (target school)
no
Anyone have advice for accelerating? Should I contact the general HR email?
Contact any of the bankers you networked with, although I tried accelerating with them with an offer from GS/JPM and they couldn't.
Any non targ non div get first round for NYC yet?
No
Bump
i just saw they extended the app deadline from late august to early sept for my schools handshake... does this mean they don't like the candidates that have applied so far?
Has your app been reviewed on handshake? They haven't even reviewed mine yet, so idk if they're just slacking or waiting for the deadline
.
anyone in West Coast process?
just had first round yesterday, second round scheduled for later today. for palo alto tech
Have you heard back for superday yet?
PM me, also in the SF process
Bump
Has anyone from Harvard heard back for a first round for SA 2022?
Just had my Cornell application reviewed on handshake. Anyone else?
just got pa tech superday
I have upcoming PA super day. Is there only one super day? (Will they accept 4 from that one event or will there be multiple and only one seat from each super day)
Anyone get first round for NY for Friday 9/10?
I also have one, messaged
Got 1st round invitation for 9/13 this afternoon. NY M&A
Same, messaged
Any non target non diversity get 1st round for NYC yet?
Anybody know what to expect in first round, NY?
Anyone else get RX first round?
Anyone know if they're running a FT 2022 process?
I asked them at the end of August, and they said that the FT 2022 was already closed.
Guy from my SA program went to CVP for full time. We wrapped up and got offers mid August so must have been the second half of the month. We only had a week to accept our offers so pretty impressive he made it happen.
are all first rounds out for NY M&A? :(
they’ve been doing accelerated interviewing for a while and they came out yesterday for my target school so probably
Gtown?
just had PA SD today, anyone else do it yet?
Have you heard back?
So no non targ non div got 1st round yet?
Got crushed in NYC first round
Had first round today as well, dmd
Got first round invite today- what kind of technical questions did they ask? I'm super nervous bc I've never interviewed for an EB before
did u hear back for SD?
What kind if technicals did they ask? I got a first round invite for NYC so how should I prepare?
Anyone heard back from the PA SD yesterday?

Do you know how many offers will be made from our cohort?
Had a phone screen today for RX focused process; said official first rounds targeted for Monday / Tuesday
how was it
What schools have RX focused processes?
Anyone from the Brown first round hear back yet?
Any targets who had NYC first round DM me - had mine earlier this week and wanted to compare
Is uva done?
Anyone get a SD for SF?
When is SF's SD scheduled for?
did anyone who did a first round this past week/friday hear back regarding SD for nyc?
No have you?
Not yet friend
I think that some people still have first rounds today and tomorrow from the wave of invites sent out last Wednesday, so I wouldn't panic too much since they need to evaluate the remaining candidates and decide who makes it to the SD.
Wouldn’t it be specific by school tho? Are you a target? I’m nervous haha
Is everyone's 1st round an hour long? Some of my friends who interviewed last year said that theirs were a half hour.
Mines was 30 mins
Did anyone hear back for NYC superdays
just heard back for a superday
Was your first round today?
.
When is your superday scheduled for?
Anyone know when those with first rounds today will get notified about superdays? For the generalist major NYC

When was your first round?
Got NYC first round earlier today- what should I expect and how should I prepare?
Did any of you guys get confirmation/thank you for applying emails after submitting your application?
Not even sure I applied lol
Anyone hear back from the Palo Alto FT 2022 Superday? Had it a few weeks ago and didn't hear anything.
Also got an NYC superday for Saturday this morning. Heard back less than 24hrs after first round.
.
Yesterday afternoon.
Any nescac folks heard back yet after first round?
Anyone have updates for the SF process?
