On Campus Recruiting is Paradise
Hi. I am a sophomore at a low semi/non-target and we have one or two shitty banks come to campus and hire some students same-day. The process of OCR (On-Campus Recruiting) simply does not exist in our world. However, by going to some events and learning about targets ivy recruiting, I learned about...
How screwed am I for SA 2023 recruiting?
Hi all, I'm a non-diversity soph at a target (3.9 GPA) going through OCR, but have not received any first rounds even as EB's and BB's kick off. Many of my friends (diverse and non-diverse) have already received their offers or have multiple superdays lined up. It also seems like BB's have moved up...
What's the point of going to a target school?
Sounds like a really stupid question but I'm confused. If a student who goes to Duke (just an example) needs relevant internships, finance club participation/leadership etc., and someone who goes to ASU can also get the same offer doing all of the above, what's the benefit of going to Duke? I know...
How do I use OCR???
I am currently attending a target school. I am told there is a lot of OCR for this school. I am a sophomore. Everyone is always talking about super days, OCR, and such - I have no idea how I am supposed to take advantage of this. Am I supposed to be attending events? Is there some website I am...
How Does On Campus Recruiting Work?
I'm going through an OCR process with a firm. My first round (after the resume drop) was with all senior-level alums. The superday, though, didn't have any alumni. Do the alum (high level execs) from the first round have any say in the superday interview/offer decision making? Or are their OCR jobs...
Q&A: I do OCR for a BB
I am a VP at a BB in a BO role. In addition to my daily duties, I'm also assigned to HR to work with the summer analyst program. Last year I had 3 SAs working for me and this year I've also been assigned to some OCR activities. I'll remain a little vague for my own privacy, but let's just say that...
CapM Advisors
New bank recruiting at target schools, wtf are they? Anyone have any information on them? They list a ton of deals, but I only see them mentioned in the most recent deal with Centerbridge....http://cap-m.com/
TAP Advisors
So, I've seen a couple of threads on TAP and I can't seem to find a consensus on the firm. Like half the reviews are glowing and half are terrible. Is there anyone currently there, or has worked there in the past 2 years that can testify? From my own research it seems like they are a decent TMT shop...
Delaying Graduation for Coding Bootcamp
Basically, got a return offer at a solid tech boutique in San Francisco, but I was expecting the New York office which is the only office I can work full time for personal reasons. They aren't budging, and originally told me it was "99%" chance I would get NY for full time. Because of this, I did...
Email contacts coming to campus for OCR
With OCR starting soon, many contacts who I talked to on the phone but never met in person will be coming to campus. Beyond going and talking to them when I see them at the event, is it appropriate to email them asking if they will be attending? If they respond that they are, would it be bothersome...
MBA internship search - how far to push?
Working on an internship search right now, and I have narrowed down my focus to a smaller list. I thought about adding a few companies to reach out for opportunities, but that'd be tapping into my personal networks. My hope is to reach out to my contacts about those intern at their firms.... but I...

Another take on OCR recruiting (the ones that did everything right)
Mod Note (Andy) - as the year comes to an end we're reposting the top discussions from 2015, this one ranks #34 and was originally posted 10/8/2015. I wrote this because while the other OCR thread was hilarious (and accurate), I wanted to reach out to those who may still be struggling even though...

Queen's Applied Economics vs McGill Joint Honors Economics & Finance
Hi everyone, I'm a pending sophomore transfer student in BC, Canada. I've been reading WSO since the middle of last year, but recently my aspirations for banking has intensified, so here I am. I have two options to consider for September. Both of them are BA, specializing in some form of economics....
Strong candidate — rejection?
Is it ever the case that a strong candidate is rejected because the bank suspects that he won't take the offer, if given one? Looking to hear from an interviewer's point of view if possible.

Appropriate time to reach out?
So in early October I interviewed for a banking internship through OCR and ended up not getting the position. After, I spoke with the man who interviewed me and he said he thought I did great but since I am only a sophomore, it just came down to the numbers and they weren't able to offer me a spot....
Undergrad Transfer Advice for IBD - What is the move???
Ok I'll cut to the chase. I'm a current sophomore at a non-target state university in Massachusetts (shouldn't be too hard to figure out the school I attend). The business program is decently respected in Mass and sends a lot of kids to the Big 4 every year. However, OCR for IBD is nonexistent to...
Mistakenly did not apply for OCI- Next steps
So, I accidentally applied to a non-banking position at a BB through my school's careers website. The interviews came back for OCI today and I was not considered. I realized that I had applied incorrectly several days before, but the recruiter I know has not been responsive. Should I just reach out...

PE / VC OCR for FT Superdays
Has anyone started hearing back from some PE firms recruiting on campus regarding superdays? Carlyle Group , SIG, JMI?
Just Missed an OCR Deadline
I just realized today that three positions I was highly interested in had an OCR deadline yesterday. They were only up for about two weeks, and there had been some issues with my log in info so I somehow screwed up the dates. Im an idiot I know. Any way, now that it's done whats the move/am I...
Chosen as an Alternate for First round on campus interview but all interview spots taken
As an alternate, I'm allowed to sign up for an interview if there are any open slots after the candidates they are primarily interested in get to sign up. Before alternate sign ups open, all interview slots are already taken. Do you guys think it would look bad if I sent the campus contact an email...
OCR vs. Direct (BB)
Could not find many posts on this. I go to a target and the 30 or so OCR interviews they gave were to kids with 3.8+. My GPA isn't great but it's not horrible (or so I tell myself). If I wasn't invited for an OCR interview, could I still get a first round through direct application? I have a contact...
Interview through OCR or take the phone interview?
I applied for a job on the company website a while ago and I recently got a request for a phone interview (off-campus). I recently also submitted for the same program using my school's OCR channel and got the on-campus interview. Is it better to go with OCR? I looked at the people interviewing...
The decline of MBA OCR
I wrote on this topic briefly earlier but curious to hear other 2nd year MBA students' thoughts on this. So this past week I met up with my career counselor, and she said "OCR is increasingly becoming a less important aspect of full-time job placement, not just here, but at other top b-schools as...
OCR Application Deadlines
Hey guys, I go to a West Coast Target / Semi-Target with OCR . Just had a question about the typical timeline for resume drops and on-campus interviews. Tried searching, but couldn't find much. Are most resume drop deadlines around late-December? Trying to see how long I have to raise my GPA as high...

MSA: BC(Carroll) vs. IU(Kelley)
I've been asking many times here about the decision I have to make pretty soon. and every week, I've been getting good news from the schools I have had an interview with. So up to last week, my choice was between IU-Kelley and Baruch College-Zicklin for the Master of Accounting program. A couple...
BB SA IB Recruiting Timeline?
People on this website are saying that its getting late in the process... My Ivy's OCR resume drop deadlines are all this week and 1st round interview sign-ups aren't until early February. How does this work? If I am a mediocre student at an Ivy, am I at a huge disadvantage applying this late?
OCR for First Round Interviews
If you were selected for first round interviews and there were only 12 time slots to choose from, does that mean only 12 people made it to first round interviews? I always assumed banks took about 50 people to first round interviews. Also, does anyone know how many people usually make it to superday...
getting internships / interviews
i know applying through job openings on company websites is basically a black hole, but i was wondering how responsive companies were when students apply to positions they've listed on school career centers. i also often see people getting internships and offers from companies that do not actively...
BB's that doing FT Analyst recruiting for FICC?
For FICC/Macro desks (FX, Rates, Commodities, etc) at BB 's, which banks do FT (not just SA) recruiting at target schools? From what I've read/heard, these Analyst classes are increasingly (and at some firms only) made up from SA conversion. Does anybody have any insight into top names in this space...
OCR First Round Interviews - "Drop by in case someone cancels"
I was referred to one of the alumni involved with recruiting on campus for his bank through a mutual contact and, when he heard I had missed the resume drop, he told me to drop by on interview day and they'd slot me in for an interview if someone cancelled. Is this a genuine door cracked open or is...
Are Corporate Career Pages a BLACK HOLE?
So, I am applying to some internship positions for this summer using a variety of job posting sites. I am applying to boutique, MM , and BB IBDs. For the MM and BB applications, I am obviously re-directed to the bank's central career page for the application. I would like to get a little bit of...
On Campus Recruiting Problem
Monkeys, I am currently a sophomore at a semi-target and have a problem with OCR . All the BBs along with MBB recruit on campus and have information sessions but most of them revolve around ops and MO/ BO . How can I use the current OCR to get to FO without offending anyone of the BO recruiters?
University of Southern California OCR?

How to write the "please remember me" e-mail?
After you network with alumni in the fall, how should you structure the e-mail you send out in Dec/Jan, right before you submit your resume? What sort of stuff do you say in those e-mails so you can stay on the guy's radar?
Unable to use OCR, screwed?
Long story short, I had a tuition issue that ended up with me having my login credentials blocked until it was sorted out. This was during the deadlines for a few of the banks on my OCR so I just went ahead and applied on their website which told me to make sure I also submitted to OCR . Tuition...
IBD first rounds and cover letters
two questions for all you smart experienced monkeys one if you're guaranteed first rounds, and first rounds are mostly fit questions - how do the people doing those phone interviews decide who moves on to the second round? What do they look for (besides not being socially inept?) two if you are...
Using Different Schools OCR
From a recruiter point of view, is this frowned upon? Students probably frown on this, but I've landed 0 interviews anywhere so far. A friend at a regional semi target gave me her OCR log in. I will in no way apply to the listings through her OCR / upload my own resume but just email the contact...
Applying to OCR SA positions while off campus - Help!
Guys, I need some advice. I'm working in NYC doing an investment banking internship for this semester. I'm also taking some time to apply for SA positions for next summer. But, I won't be on campus, and I'm using my university's job board to apply. How do I convey to the recruiter that I won't be on...
are all OCR ads for FT positions already posted on your school OCR site?
a few companies have begun posting OCR ads for FT positions for 2012 grads on my school's career site, but the activity has slowed to a halt as of late. do you think that most positions are already posted, or will postings start to ramp up again as the school year begins? just not quite sure as to...
Would this be wrong?
Hi so basically I go to a non-target one of my good friends goes to a target but is non business major and gave me access to his OCR . I found two banks who are looking for F.T and they have contact information listed on the application. Do you think I should contact them, email explain my story...
Don't call it 2008, but Effect on Graduate Jobs this Year?
What's the real outlook for 2011 recruiting for graduates? If the US/UK/Europe is not the place to be -- for any job--then where? I had a very depressing time with an offer pulled from a top 3 asset manager. This was 2008. Fast-forward 3 years--I off-cycled until I earned some lucky breaks (I've...
OCR after graduating already?
Has anyone gone through their school's OCR after graduating already? At my school, which a good amount of banks recruit from, alumni can pay a fee to have access to the job listing website and submit our resumes. I've been out of school for a little more than a year now, but would like to apply for...
Do certificate programs give you access to any OCR/networking?
Does getting a certificate in say Banking or Finance from a university like NYU (SCPS) or Columbia give you access to any OCR? Or for that matter, aside from personal learning does it provide any networking opportunities at all? It would be a small price( ~$3800) to pay for access to NYU's career...
