Name of bank/firm where you interned this summer:
- Credit Suisse: Real Estate Finance and Securitization Group
Your title:
- Summer Analyst
How did you get the interview that landed you the internship?
- High School (The Dalton School) Alumni Internship/Career network
Exactly what did you do to obtain you summer internship interview and prepare for your interview?
- I emailed the contact he told me to come in, interviewed me with a group of analysts, and then recommended me to the program. I was given another round of interviews, followed by one more round. I prepared by researching the real estate markets in the WSJ and NY Times, also I looked for news on Credit Suisse and learned about how the CMBS (commercial mortgage backed securities) market worked. I also read the Vault guide to finance interviews, top 50 investment banks, and the Vault Credit Suisse Guide. All my questions were fit based, nothing technical, though I did get a couple real estate related brain teasers.
