Scotiabank CIR - Insights + Hiring

Anyone have any insights into the CIR team, I saw there was an old thread wanted to see if anyone had newer information. Looking for deal activity, comp, hours, exit ops. 

Has anyone also been able to get a hold of anyone on the team for a chat - if so when are interviews kicking off?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available about Scotiabank's CIR (Corporate Insights and Research) team in the provided context. If you're looking for details on deal activity, compensation, hours, or exit opportunities, it might be worth exploring broader threads on Scotiabank's investment banking or related groups, as they often share insights into culture and operations.

For networking or reaching out to team members, leveraging LinkedIn or alumni networks is typically effective. Interviews for such roles often align with standard recruiting cycles, so keeping an eye on Scotiabank's career page or reaching out to HR could provide clarity.

If you're looking for more targeted advice, consider checking out WSO's resources on networking and interview prep to maximize your chances.

Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov:

I did get a chance to connect with someone and have one lined up


Sorry I wanted to ask a question as I am confused. Do you have an interview scheduled or a coffee chat scheduled?

Did you get an interview booked? I am coming from a Canadian boutique firm as an Associate looking to go down a level and I have not heard back yet? I am also confused by your message, I interpret it as "I did get a chance to connect with some (i.e. email communication) and have one lined up (coffee chat)." Please let me know if that is correct?

How did this chat go? Did they say when interviews are coming out? 

 

Curious as well - I had a chat with someone on the team as well and have not heard back. 

 

Anyone close to this process hear anything. Given it’s one of the most attractive groups besides M&A figure it will be a competitive process. I have tried to reach out but didn’t hear back - have interviews started / when are they starting.

 

Based_God:

R1 interviews were sent out last week


Were you invited or close to someone in the process?

Is this regarding the Consumer, Industrial, and Retail team? I saw on your profile it said student - I know that the internship interviews came out last week for Scotiabank.

 

high hopes:

Scotiabank announced layoffs this week




This team is probably going to get hit - none of the Canadian banks are strong in consumer / retail 


The layoffs happened primarily in the US correct? Assuming given they had a posting there is a seat that needs to be filled so would they just proceed?
