Credit Suisse
Fixed Income Summer Analyst
Program Description
The Credit Suisse Securities Division offers two separate, 10-week summer programs – one in Equity Sales and Trading and one in Fixed Income Sales and Trading. If chosen for a first-round interview, students will interview for BOTH the Equity sales and trading and the Fixed Income sales and trading programs – please only drop your resume once for these programs. Second round interviews are held separately and will be Equity specific or Fixed Income specific. This will be determined based on your first round interviews. In both programs, you’ll spend one week in training, followed by three, three –week rotations on either Fixed Income or Equity desks.
Sales Rotation - You'll spend three weeks working within one sales product area. In Equity, this rotation will give you the chance to work with the Coverage Sales, Institutional Sales, International Sales, Automated Execution Systems, Prime Services, Convertible Sales or Derivative sales teams. In Fixed Income, you’ll work with the Corporate, Structured Products, Interest Rates, Structuring, Global Foreign Exchange, Emerging Markets, CDO Group or Derivatives sales teams.
Trading Rotation - You'll spend three weeks working within one trading product area. In Equity, it will include the Cash Trading, Derivative Trading, Program Trading, International Sales Trading and Exchange Traded Funds teams. In Fixed Income, these groups include the Corporate, Structured Products, Interest Rates, Global Foreign Exchange, Emerging Markets, or Interest Rate Products trading teams.
Sales or Trading Rotation - You'll spend your final three weeks on one of the above-mentioned sales or trading desks in either Fixed Income or Equity.
These programs are a great way to become familiar to the Sales and Trading arena, as well as the overall investment process, gaining a broad and varied view of several potential career paths.
Training
Both programs provide summer analysts with the foundation necessary for a successful summer experience. They begin with an intense one-week training period in New York where all summer analysts participate in a capital markets overview, several desk overviews and a library tour. You’ll be trained on Bloomberg and learn Credit Suisse technology systems and databases. You'll tour the NYSE, and you'll meet with traders and salespeople from all of the various products.
After your first week of training, you'll hit the ground running, working to support a variety of desks within Fixed Income or Equity. Your learning experience will continue through the summer speaker series, where you’ll hear from senior employees across the divisions. In addition, you’ll participate in networking events, community service, and firm-wide events that will help ensure that you are exposed to all the areas within the bank and understand the big picture of a global investment bank.
To help you determine your strengths and plan your career, summer analysts are matched with junior and senior mentors within your program’s division, who provide advice and guidance throughout the summer. You'll also enjoy networking with the other Summer Analysts and full time employees at a variety of social events throughout the summer.
