Credit Suisse Fixed Income Desks

I received an offer for a Summer Analyst with Credit Suisse Fixed Income. The program is rotational in nature, and they actually let us have a say in which desks we are assigned to. I am aware that CS is generally regarded to have one of if not the best High Yield/Distressed Debt trading desks on the street, but are any of their other desks particularly strong? How are they in Currencies, Commodities and Emerging Markets?

I would really appreciate some info. Thanks

JimboWhich group specifically within FI?

That's the question... Which group is good at CS in FICC ? is there one ? :)

Tell me something I don't know...
 

Does CS do a rotational internship program within fixed income? What about full time offers are they 2 year rotational within FI or are you assigned to a product non-rotational?

 
tabtheLoan syndicate trading is the best in the business past 5 or so years.
Really? Can I ask what that's based on? My perception was that they're good but still behind JPM/BOA just because of those bank's dominance of the primary market.

Yeah,

CS has a VERY strong mortgage group.

Apart from that, I don't really know specifics. I suppose they are a solid player in most areas..never really dominating, but always there.

Thx a lot

I have to choose between CS FICC rotational summer and JPM Corp Structu commodities... it's tough

Tell me something I don't know...
 

Internship is rotational, fulltime is not. PM if you have specific questions.

Dont forget that the desks power and profitability can change rapidly depending on the performance of the traders, so what is number one this year may not be next year

Hi everybody,

Fixed Income seems to have been doing pretty bad lately, specially concerning no-flow-monsters, such as Credit Suisse. Do you have any information regarding Credit Suisse FI business? Their results have been quite poor, and I'm wondering if the division is threatened by a plain shutdown. What do you think about it? Within CS FI, does anyone know which areas are doing well (FX, Commos, credit, etc.)? I know that rates are in a pretty fucked up situation...
