CS on campus first rounds in late March, Evercore posting is up on the career site with deadline in late March, and GS coming early April at my target

 

I actually applied for the position about 2 weeks ago through their main website and received an invitation to compete an online assessment. It includes- Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and something called 'Credit Suisse chatAssess Analysts'. Can anyone shed some light on the CS process and the test?

 

Well it's a scenario based assessment. You're put in scenarios with your colleagues and superiors and you need to choose the best option, that you'll respond with. They have made it more conversational.

 

I think CS is the only one that historically does it early summer . I think GS/Evercore/MS/UBS for To/Calgary are some around late July/august . Citi is usually in fall along with the big 5 cdn and national bank

 

As a general thing or they start reaching out after mid-may? Toronto only or also NY?

 

Anyone hear back from National Bank yet? I know apps are due the end of the week and they review them on a rolling basis

 

Did you apply for anything else? They might be reusing the results assuming you've applied for anything else. Honestly, I don't know; this is my first time applying to Banque Nationale.

 

I didn’t specify group/service line but everyone’s cover letter is prob different. And I don’t know about the location. I just chose one but I’m pretty sure you can select more than one.

 

Sent mine in May 24 and completed the online assessment test the next day. Haven't heard back yet. My application is still "in progress".

 

I know some MS offices have already begun first rounds. Do you know when the Toronto office begins or if they’ve started already?

 

Sorry to hijack this thread but is anyone looking to apply for full time in capital markets in general? I know the chances are probably very slim given that I was not part of any summer analyst class, but was wondering what would FT opportunities look like for 2021...

 

the same... did you finished yet? I’m still not very sure if I am actually shortlisted or it’s an automatic one...

 

Two questions -> tell me about a deal you are following and a scenario question (working in team, when something went wrong, etc.)

 

I have my first round 15-minute interview next week. Can anyone shed any light on what your interviews were like?

I don’t have anything to add to this thread but wanted to wish all the candidates out there the best of luck in the process and hope you guys all end up at the firms you want to be in. As someone who previously went through this I understand how gruelling it can be. just keep pushing and remember that even if doesn’t workout, it’s not the end of the world. goodluck ladies and gents
