Following. App for P&U says “new application” but the app for CIR says “under consideration”. Don’t think there’s any difference between the two though. 

 

leafblower69soffspring:

They closed application process.


Have interviews been sent out ?


Spoke with someone on the team they haven’t sent out interviews

 

Any idea of how good the CIR team is? Saw they continue to lose people to national DIG. 

 

leafblower69soffspring:

Anyone can confirm interviews have been sent out for P&U?


Sent out - internally heard they had lots of 2nd year and associates at boutiques.

Reading through this thread the past few comments are interesting lol, but experienced hire > new grad any day, just my opinion. For the CIR role, I had a coffee chat with an individual on the team upon posting of the job. Personally, after speaking with this individual I honestly did not want to resume with the process once he provided more insight, which worked out in my favour as I got dinged and I'm completely fine with that. Also from this persons comments, candidates are ranked in tiers (tier 1 - current bankers/experienced hires trying to lateral, tier 2 - internal bank candidates with relevant experience, tier 3 - new grad/non-IB experience). 2 analysts on their team left, and they want someone to come in and hit the ground running; they don't got time to train a new grad, and neither do most banks during this market. So, just to provide some insight and two cents into this posting. All the best.

Think you made some great points and had a similar chat where they said they look for IB first than anything else you also gotta think they are really only pulling 20 resumes from 1000. What made you not want to processed I thought that the team sound good and had a good balance?

Absolute sweatshop from their comments. 

Heard they have just picked up though, usually not this bad - plus 2 people left.

 

Had seen leafblower’s comments deleted, assumed got banned.

Dude is here again on an alt account messing with everyone calling himself experienced with internships. 😂

 

I got a couple SB notifications and replies were all deleted/removed by mod or sth.

I think he made a different account. Not just me, everyone was roasting him.

Dude is just delusional, bragging about BBs in London and shit, when he can’t get any interview in Canada.

What pissed most people off was he kept shitting on those seeking advice. 

 

Dude you’re unemployed as well. Shut your mouth lmao. Dude thinks he’s experienced, has never done an actual deal, only got laid off and thinks he’s more suitable for a banking role than a new grad who hasn’t been laid off. Keep hiding behind your PC dipshit lmfao

 

I went to a school you could never touch and am at a bank you couldn’t ever get a coffee chat for.

Keep dreaming. You’re up at 2 am on a Friday cause you’re an entitled unemployed 2023 grad, I’m up at 2 am on a Friday cause I was working on a live deal.

We’re not the same, bro.

 

I’m a laid off banker with deal experience more deal experience than anyone at your finance internships have had. Learn to listen more and you’ll go far. They should be preferred because they’re clearly humble enough to go through layoffs and learn that life will hit you and it’s not fair. You’re an entitled graduate who thinks that because he’s a graduate the world owes him a job. World owes you fuck all. I had to eat shit at a boutique before I could step foot in my last role. You haven’t had any adversity, you’re just looking for a job. Now be quiet, stop prefacing that laid off bankers and corporate dev Guys shouldn’t have preference. These mfkers have had quality work experience, and they’re humble enough to be asking for help and guidance with many of them having lack of support both financially and from personal mentorship. You’re an entitled spoiled kid who wants a job in IB.

 

English isn’t your first language I bet. Hence why you got laid off. The only entitled piece of shit here is you. Maybe take a look at yourself in the mirror and question yourself, why is it you had your break in IB but sucked too much to keep the job? You think it won’t happen again if you don’t fix yourself? Making up shit that I didn’t say. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If I deem your advice isn’t worth taking then I’m allowed to think that way. Yet you get all mad for it. Then you say things like “that attitude is why you aren’t even getting interviews” you’re behaving in the same manner dipshit. Get a life laid off jerk

 

Dude you make no sense. It’s like trying to speak to a horse. Again, there hasn’t been much M&A activity the past few years & it’s only begun to pick up since January this year. If an ex banker leaves for corp dev then they made their choice. Whether it’s WLB or they are just not cut out for it. Bottom line is that they had their chance. Now for laid off bankers, it’s like a sport. You couldn’t stick within the big leagues? Tough luck pumpkin, we got a draft coming where fresh graduates have showcased their talent through coursework & internships they took simultaneously. Stop crying it won’t get you anywhere & stop trying to say bullshit like I think I’m entitled you hypocrite

 

Okay you just proved to me how stupid you are. You were a pubescent during your university years when you spoke about how bad M&A activity has been. It has been good for the past few years, not just good it’s been great in almost every sector. Now it’s not which is why there are layoffs. Many of my peers who were top performers were let go. It’s a layoff. Banks don’t give af. Also, I like your sports analogy. You wanna know what they do with fresh young prospects with shit attitudes? They hurry them in the minors. In your cases they shun them on the street. The street is smaller than you think. The same way people here are shitting all over you will be your reality if you don’t learn to stfu.

Also, funny you mention corporate dev guys. You’re such a uni student talking about how corporate dev guys couldn’t cut it or wanted out due to lifestyle. Such a baseless take. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Stay unemployed. I see you’ve commented on every thread here.
