Credit Suisse

Applied this program in Feb and has been stuck "initial review" since March.

Anyone know if it is still possible to get called for interview?

Just some advice from my perspective

- Credit Suisse has been doing very well in APAC both in private banking and investment banking sector
- for those joining the program, I would say this is a good start for a compliance career
a. 2 years of job security, and after program ended, there are still internal mobility opportunities. Conversion depends on headcount and budget
b. good exposure to compliance roles and knowledge, hard to start off in compliance roles in banking sector especially for fresh grads (usually start off as KYC or smthing)
- The scandals are definitely huge but not much impact to lower levels compliance positions (business as usual)
- there is no bonus for 2 years anyway and pay is fixed

Same here, feel free to enquire!

For the previous batches, when did you get your offers? If its been a month since the 2nd interview, does that mean I'm no longer considered? Deciding between holding out for this and an offer that I recently received.
