CPI OCR Call
CPI's call on on-cycle recruiting today- lol. Parts were whatever, but other parts made them seem like assholes (bring cash to your on-cycle interview!) and tbh reflected kinda poorly on them as headhunters.
We will evaluated at a second year analyst/associate level; everyone is just "bummed" that this is so early; after speaking with us, you see that most of us are incredibly inexperienced and feel that most of us should not participate.
This process was started stupidly early because of their own email last week. They are massively to blame.
Agreed. I think they realized they f'ed up by starting things off so early and quickly realized no one is remotely prepared.
huh? Bring cash to your on-cycle interview? Is greasing palms SOP now?
It was a bad joke
Really hope we can actually wait for off-cycle or next year without serious repercussions. Feeling pretty underprepared
You definitely can, handful of funds will sit out entirely if interviews happen this early. And no way bigger funds will fill their entire asso class because there’s not enough prepared candidates
It was such a stupid call
Agree that it's their fault this is happening, but I still took this call as an invitation to sit out of oncycle. I'm going to do that.
Is it fine to say you want to sit out a couple months to get settled into the job and consider options? Or is it better to ghost? Literally hit the desk last week
"We sent out the first email that kicked things off, and then we scheduled chats for this weekend while everyone else was originally scheduling for next week, but we're so bummed things are going this fast."
not sure how I feel about the "you will be held to the same standard as a second year analyst" comment that was made. In what world are analysts that haven't even hit the desk yet going to be as technically sharp as someone with 1 full year of IB under their belt?? tf is this logic
