on credit suisse careers website about section it says their core businesses are pwm and ibd and goes through all the support offices, but doesnt touch on markets - safe to assume they wont hire many s+t people???
Does anyone know what BlackRock's 'virtual cover letter invitation' is about? It doesn't seem to be a link to upload a cover letter because when I sign in, it has a button with 'Start Interview' on it? What is this? Is this a video interview? If so, why is even called a 'virtual cover letter'?
I was highly confused as well.
I think its similar to a fit based interview via video.
What do you guys think of the competitiveness for grad roles in risk or ops for BB/MM? Is it like for FO where its practically impossible to get a grad position as they've hired most people already from summers or do you have a chance if you have a decent uni and work experience?

It is essentially a video interview, they use this instead of numerical tests.
How you find the test? I answered all the questions but guess on two :/. Hoping for 15/16.
I cant recall how i did, i try to not be optimistic about these things, helps soften the blow when i get rejected haha, but from what I can remember, I managed to finish it, with only guessing 1 or 2 answers too. If we haven't got an automatic rejection already (i did mine around 2 weeks ago), surely we must have passed?
Still a decent bank, still doing the same stuff, still getting paid well.. and you can always move up the food chain if you're good, or stick around if you make money.
Don't get me wrong, it's still ib - but I go to a target and if I only got RBC it'd be seen as little better than selling butties at greggs. Plus I already tasted BB on my spring week, it's moreish. Plus in reference to an earlier comment, not sure I want a long term career in banking chasing the name for my cv that gets me in a better job
