Research Areas

Interview


The Analyst Residency sits above any internship offering within the Swiss Finance ecosystem.
 
Internships exist for candidates who can contribute immediately with minimal supervision. The Residency exists for candidates who want real exposure but require structured immersion, feedback, and development.
 
These are fundamentally different paths. One prioritizes output. The other prioritizes transformation.

Application Process           


We receive a high volume of inbound interest. We advance only a small number of candidates per cohort.

Selection is based on judgment, communication ability, learning velocity, and alignment. Credentials matter far less than how someone thinks, responds to pressure, and handles ambiguity.

The process includes multiple filters and practical assessments. Not everyone who applies will be invited to proceed.
 

  • Initial Submission: Candidates provide educational credentials, professional background, and relevant work experience. Application processing requires comprehensive evaluation by senior banking professionals.
     

  • Confidentiality Requirements: Candidates advancing beyond initial screening execute confidentiality agreementis introduced early to allow frank discussions and sharing of relevant data.
     

  • Evaluation Phase: Senior bankers conduct interviews to assess analytical capability and professional suitability.
     

  • Placement Offer: Successful candidates receive formal placement offers specifying location, start date, and program terms. Candidates typically have 48 hours to accept or decline offers.
     

  • Application evaluation typically requires a few weeks from initial submission to final determination.

Commitment Standard

Business Meeting Discussion

This program assumes seriousness.
 

Participants are expected to treat the Residency as a professional obligation, not a résumé accessory. Competing commitments, partial availability, or casual engagement are disqualifying. This program is not compatible with side jobs or internships, divided attention, or opportunistic résumé stacking.

 

Those seeking symbolic affiliation rather than substantive involvement should not apply.

​

This standard protects both the cohort and the integrity of the experience.
