What has opened? CS is the only posting I see, with Evercore and Morgan Stanley coming in a few weeks. Anything with the Big 5?
Nothing yet with Big 5 that I know of
you are going to be waiting like 6 months for big 5 banks + national bank to launch lol
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
Just spoke to a couple analysts, CS interviews in the beginning of May. Applications due April 1st for Toronto office.
from my understanding CS begins slightly earlier than that
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.
Bump following Rona virus update. Any news about possibly digitalizing/delaying the recruiting process to the fall ? Thinking about GS, MS, CS, Evercore, and Big 5 Toronto office
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
Evercore's applications close mid may
As a general thing or they start reaching out after mid-may? Toronto only or also NY?
They already conducted 1st rounds.
some people got offers already for NY M&A, and Toronto just had first rounds
Bump National and Barclays up and due late May
Barclays is up on OCR or general website?
Pretty sure it's just OCR right now
I dont see anything for OCR on my schools portal. I thought Barclays is usually later in the summer. Good to know.
Barclays first round is expected to be early June
Damn Barclays really pushed up their recruiting. Last year first rounds were in September
seems like everything is pushed up this year. Evercore first rounds were last week (compared to August last year), national closes end of May, and BMO starts soon too LOL
Where did you hear about BMO? Spoke to campus recruiter at BMO a couple days ago and was told that apps are going up in August
.
BMO to begin in June from what I’ve heard
had a call with BMO today --> apps open in July/august, but there will also be accelerated recruiting beforehand
any info on Toronto BBs? BAML is scheduled to kickoff later this summer
Looks like Barclays is moving already. End of May application deadline on my school portal
CS is soon, and MS is in June
From what I've heard, non-diversity applicants are June/July. Not exactly sure about Toronto specifically.
makes a lot of sense thx guys
Any insight on GS/UBS/EVR?
EVR is done. GS/UBS later this summer.
Anyone have updates on RBC?
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
the sent some survey thing to fill out.
Do you know if they send the survey to everyone? Or do they actually assess your candidacy before sending them out. I got one this morning as well
Yeah the same, survey
how was the survey?
The survey was assessing your psychological profile. And, yes I did get one too. The first round calls go out in early July, and the offers are made in the fall.
when I clicked on the link, it directed me to the wrap up "thank you for completing the survey" but I haven't done the survey
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.
Do you know for sure if the first round calls start in July?
They mentioned this in the application. You'll have a good chance if you're bilingual.
For National application there was no option to select what service line you wanted. Did you guys just mention it in the cover letter? Al
Also does it matter if you choose more than 1 location preference?
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.
anyone having a tough time submitting RBC Coop applications?
I got rejected for all. I applied for internal auditing and global markets and got rejected.
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".
update on this? looks like they took down almost all their fall co-op opportunities and closed the process? not sure
I keep getting an error message and it tells me to apply again in a few hours. not sure what to do now.
for some reason it worked when i made a different account not using my school email just a heads up
Have first rounds begun?
For NBF? Not that I know of. Someone in the earlier in the forum said in they’ll begin in July.
No, for RBC IB 2020 Fall in TO
are any other applications open except for NB,MS, and CS?
I haven't seen any other apps. Have you heard back from MS?
unfortunately missed apps for all 3 that I mentioned. don’t plan on missing anymore
hey! when is the deadline for MS ?
Their website says sometime in July (end of the month, can't remember exact date), but the apps have been up for at least one month already.
Generally, you should apply as early as possible. Try to keep this in mind. Nevertheless, apply anyways.
I know some MS offices have already begun first rounds. Do you know when the Toronto office begins or if they’ve started already?
They’re having a virtual recruitment info session this Tuesday, so probably going to start after that
following
Following what?
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...
I would like to know too
Some 2021 FT apps opened for Big 5 banks. I think RBC has one.
when do canadian banks generally start their process? fall?
they already started tbh, earliest is Feb/march and it is ongoing until maybe around November
Just got a first round for Barclays Toronto (Target)
Did they even have an app on the website?
OCR only I believe. Had a posting on my school’s job board
Got a first round right for tomorrow (wtf lol). Any color on interviews?
any input on how difficult technicals were for barclays first round?
Did you hear back for a 2nd round yet?
just got sent a recorded video interview for RBC diversity scholarship, apparently this is the first round and if it goes well straight to final round
the same... did you finished yet? I’m still not very sure if I am actually shortlisted or it’s an automatic one...
haven’t finished yet, but from the looks of it it is a shortlist. it would be weird for them to go from screening hireview —> super day
was this separate from the assessments email?
anyone finished MS hirevue? how was it? what kind of questions are asked?
I have mine in 48 hours, can you give any insight into the questions asked?
Two questions -> tell me about a deal you are following and a scenario question (working in team, when something went wrong, etc.)
Any insight for the National Bank first round? I have one coming up.
When did u hear about it? anyone know if first rounds still rolling out?
Calls went out Friday. Couple people I know got it.
Heard about my first round today
Which office?
It didn't say. The application is for Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver. My top two picks were Toronto Calgary
I have my first round 15-minute interview next week. Can anyone shed any light on what your interviews were like?
Was with an HR rep not a banker. Basic behaviourals
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
such a Canadian thing to say...bless your soul.
Bump interested
Anybody hear back for round 2 Barclays Toronto?
heard some people got second round emails today, not sure if they’re all going out today though
I am a dual-citizen but go to school in the states, would Barclays/canadian offices recruit?
Are all second round emails out?
Are first rounds out for RBC TO Fall 2020?
Anybody receive a superday invite for RBC 2021 diversity yet?
Not as yet, just finished the first round video interview. Has anyone on here gotten an offer yet?
nope, just finished video interview as well
just received superday invite, anyone else?
Offers are out
got an email earlier today but it's not super day hmm
Is this GIB or GMP?
Are GIB superdays still not out?
hey I applied for the gib but got a first round for gmp did this happen to anyone else ?
