Calling All NYU Stern Fall 2011 Applicants

guys, any R3 activity so far? offers? the general deadline is in a week...

Ask your question here, please. I will try my best to respond.



Ha. True there are a couple of marketing and general finance types in there, some trading types too, greater non-US hiring by Citi this year I think.



deea23, I don't think our careers office releases this information so all I can offer is anecdotal data. Out of the international students I am good friends with, and who would freely talk about their recruiting successes (or lack thereof), very few have been forced to do something different because of visa issues. Most internationals I know are returning to their summer internship employers (mostly in finance, IB, and S&T) and have the visa stuff sorted out. Ditto for the McKinsey/BCG/Booz Consulting types. These employers will make the effort to solicit interest from international students and handle all visa stuff on their behalf.

The international students I know (and I can only think of a handful at the moment) who have had trouble were largely people looking to get into marketing and fixed income research.

The research guy is from continent A (not Asia) and only wants to work in continent B or C, he can probably find a job in continent A quite easily. So the visa issues he faces are a bit more complex. As far as marketing is concerned, internationals did land jobs but they were for positions outside the U.S AFAIK. Nonetheless, we did have at least one student who found a marketing job with a major electronics company that was willing to sponsor his visa. So your own experience may vary and depends considerably and what you want to do. Hope this helps?

anyone who interviewed last week hear back yet? also, those who have recieved recent admits...was it via email or phone?

No problem, I was just wondering if Stern released the numbers for the placement? does it go from 40 recruits from #1 to 4 at #10?

As far as BB recruiting goes, I'm a bit surprised that Goldman and UBS are so low on the list - I didn't expect Deloitte or Amex to be so high. do most people get their interviews through interviews scheduled through the career office or is it really up to the candidate to get proactive?

Congratulations! Hopefully some of the other WL's get good news soon.

Really interesting stuff, 3underscore and solaris1. Out of curiosity - as I'm sure I'll learn much more in the coming months anyway - which banks would you say recruit heavily for equity research at Stern? Any independent shops on campus? Thanks in advance.

Ok - most places. DB and BAC take a good number, as do BARC. JPM is maybe about too. C has focused on Undergrad for research, JPM might have gone that way too. Not sure on MS or GS do direct MBA recruiting. Nomura have a presence now in research now, as do a number of smaller places that you might need to approach. RBC take folk.

Buyside is way harder and you need to really work. Neuberger and Fidelity definitely show up.

Forgot About the Swiss. They both do, though no one I know seemed to stay at UBS for long...

Thanks for your continued fielding of our questions 3underscore. Along the same lines, which banks are most Stern-friendly in terms of the pure old-fashioned IBD (i.e. not trading, research, etc.)?

Thank you solaris1 and 3underscore! Congratulations and wish you the best, solaris1.

Tomorrow marks 3 weeks since my interview. If I don't hear should I call? They said a decision would be made in 2-3 weeks.

Dinged.

R1 applicant.
W/l w/o interview since 1/11

So I guess all the admits chat has migrated to the FB group... but I thought I'd post for the record that I've decided to accept my offer from Stern and - all being well with immigration - will be starting at Stern in August.

I look forward to meeting you all!
