Tobin & Co SA 2021
Just wanted to create a mega thread for anyone recruiting for the bank. Anyone aware of the exact timeline this cycle? How much networking have you all done?

I hope this is a joke. If it's a joke, it's a bad joke. You do NOT want to work here. Had a friend that actually did it, and I can't even begin to explain the shitty experience they had. A few pointers:
What’s the size of the intern class? Also I don’t understand what you mean by joke ? I saw recruiting threads for other banks so decided to make one for Tobin.
Literally search "Tobin & Co" and read.
I love it. Every few months Tobin gets brought back to life on here. Does she have multiple burner accounts like that 76ers GM?

Leveraged my GS TMT offer to get a superday at Tobin. Sadly didn't get an offer. Thinking of recruiting on cycle at MF PE (think BX, KKR) and then going to Harvard (think Baker scholar), and recruit to be associate at Tobin. A little concerned since I went to a semi-target, so not sure if I'd really be competitive at Tobin. Might retake the GMAT for 800 after I get a Rhodes Scholarship to boost profile. Thoughts?
I don't think there are VP's at Tobin??? Why would you want to break in as an associate? Also how was the superday interview structured?
Dude are you serious?

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but none of that means anything if you didn't get a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the man Donny Pump himself, and even then, it is NOT guaranteed to get a FT offer at Tobin. Good luck, but your chances are slim. I'd recommend settling down a tier below Tobin and join Apollo/KKR/BX, move to a top HF (think Tiger Global), then make the move to Tobin as a 1st year associate.
SB'ed for the use of Donny Pump
Hey man, appreciate the optimism, but I'm gonna be real frank with you here. **Some people just don't make the cut**. The Tobin standard has been that of pinnacle prestige. Do a quick LinkedIn search and you'll find that the 2020 Associate cohort was composed of literal rockstars (guys with a BB IB sophomore summer internship, a MF PE junior summer internship, and the typical 2yr. HF analyst stint). Even those guys are at the heels of HR, begging to get a chance to work with the absolute deal-god, Justine Tobin.
Am I trying to say that your dream of breaking into Tobin will never be a reality? **Maybe**. Although, I will caveat that by saying the standard morale booster rhetoric we have all seen on WSO, "*nothing is out of the impossible, network with people on LinkedIn, be the top 1% in your T1 MBA class. If you follow these steps, then the odds **may** be in your favor*", which we all know is sadly bullshit because there is no such thing as an "underdog" or a "semi-target school (or even target school)" success story for how they broke into one of the most (if not the most) prestigious firm on the street.

Dude reading the responses in this thread is all I have to see to know how fucking tarded and naive you guys are lmfao
They OBVIOUSLY are so busy. They don't want people wasting their time with all the deal flow they have.
Thanks I’ll prob email for more details since I’ve been getting a lot of bizarre responses on this thread.
Thinking of leaving my full time role to enroll in a local 4-year university so that I have a shot. Fingers crossed
I’m the OP and I have no idea why people are calling me Justine. I’m legitimately considering recruiting for the bank. Yes the gig is unpaid but I don’t attend H/Y/S/P so the chances of breaking into GS/JPM/MS are virtually slim to none. Would rather do this then some random BO internship tbh.
Interesting thing here is that maybe 4-5 years ago that would be true but this site has memed Tobin and Co for so long that the college kids who read this forum years ago are now people who work at banks and are reviewing your resume.
There is a real possibility that a BO job at a random place could be better than a Tobin and Co internship.
What about DB/UBS/RBC/Nomura? Those banks are memed on but surely you aren’t going to tell me they are a 0 value add to the resume.
You're legit an idiot.
the gap between Tobin and DB is roughly equal to the gap between GS and your local community college's finance club
Exactly. There're so many banks out there. If not the top BBs, you should look at the mid-tier BBs, bottom-tier BBs, top MM firms (Rothschild, HL, Jefferies, RBC, Blair, Baird, HW) and lower MM firms (Lincoln, RJ, Stifel)
Justine?
Delete
The fact that you auto ding candidates who work an a rival bank shows you are egotistical and you could probably be pursued legally as well.
Delete
Justine, the irony of you calling someone egotistical is beyond thick.
JUSTINE ALERT
Yeah that's not fucking true. That's a lie. Take it from someone who actually lives in Charlotte.
Lmaoooo I cannot believe that heaux is actually back commenting on WSO
Probably just a troll. Even JT isn't stupid enough to start a "mega-thread" for a single analyst position (if she's willing to come back on here at all after the beatings she's taken).
Not for analyst program, for the WINTER 2020/SUMMER 2921 summer analyst programmes where the class size is larger than 1.
This is so sad
Disappointed - I came to this thread expecting satire and some good old fashioned Tobin bashing. You should be ashamed OP/Justine. I guess with quarantine you can't complain about people using your apartment gym or ridicule restaurant workers, so you come here to shitpost
Was this posted by Justine Tobin herself?
no

Here's a quote from the bank in response to a negative review
"We are very sorry that we earn so much of your attention that you feel that you must come back and tell us how embarrassed you are a few years later. A little flattered, yes. But very sorry. Nobody knows who you are, so you really don't need to be embarrassed. It's okay!
So, let's get down to brass tacks: What HAVE you done to personally ensure diversity in your fraternity? This may have been a question ahead of its time, from your perspective, a couple of years ago. But now in this time of #GeorgeFloyd, we really do want to know. We ask this question quite frequently, because gender and race diversity is important to our firm. And we want it to be important to our analysts. That is why we ask the question.
So, what you you done personally to ensure diversity at your current firm? In your recruiting processes? In your interactions with your teammates at your firm? You do agree that this is important, right?
Unfortunately, your lack of an answer in your interview (and evident anger about the question) is why you did not receive an offer from our firm. But we hope that you are better addressing this important concept in your current work (and personal) environment now.
Thanks. Take care."
