CS Record Number of Applicants: 57,000+, Accepted: 500 Global

Despite turmoil, CS still has a strong applicant pool.

Seems like young/aspiring professionals do not care about what’s going on, as they should.

CS remains a top franchise and is holding its #6 spot on League Tables, despite current conditions.

Do you monkeys still see CS as a top BB ? Im curious

Have a FT return offer but am considering rejecting and recurring FT somewhere else.

Lmk what you all think

It’s more of, now that they control you for your every waking hour 24/7, they make you feel “special” by talking about the aggregate number of applicants for open positions across the bank and imply it was all for your job, so that when you go to sleep at 2:30am working at a lower $/hour than all your friends, you don’t think about how awful the actual job is. This goes on until about the half year mark, at which point you lose the rosy picture and start looking for an evacuation route so that you can quit on the day your bonuses hits. Aaaand the cycle continues
