"Credit Suisse’s Toronto office is coming to campus on Monday, March 20, 2023 from 5:30pm – 7:00pm. We will be holding our session in UCC (University Community Centre) 147 A & B and will be providing some colour on our 2024 summer analyst program.

In Toronto, we are home to the Credit Suisse Canadian Diversified industry coverage group. The office is dedicated to serving a diverse set of clients and industries including diversified industrials, energy & transition, technology, financial sponsors, mining and retail & consumer. In addition to industry coverage bankers, the Toronto office has local product expertise, with both capital markets and M&A bankers. Our international reach offers unrivaled opportunities to execute transactions from conception to close, often with a global or cross-border element, which differentiates Credit Suisse from our competitors.

Three Credit Suisse bankers will be in attendance at the session from the analyst, associate, and director level. It would be great to see some familiar faces at our session! If you’d like to hear more about the summer analyst experience, please feel free to reach out to A***n Paliwal or another member of the team and we would be happy to have an informational call.

It will be great to see some of you back on campus! If interested in the summer analyst position, please send your resume to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]).
