The Recruiting Coordinator CREDIT SUISSE Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to express my interest to work as a full time Analyst with Credit Suisse. Credit Suisse, one of the worlds premier financial services providers, provides securities, other financial products, and research in equities, fixed income, rates, foreign exchange, precious metals and derivatives. The Investment Banking Department (IBD) provides a range of advisory and underwriting services including mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, equity offerings, and many other services. Apart from being one of the largest in terms of assets employed, Credit Suisse is also a leading provider of coordinated global services to multinational corporations and financial institutions worldwide. Its vast size and long-standing brand guarantee future business. Diverse geographical spread allows the company to spread its risk of the adverse effects of any localized economic downturn. Further, its diverse expertise ranging from retail banking and asset management to Global investment allows the company greater flexibility and strength. Strong feedback from various sources convinced me to start my career with Credit Suisse.

A passion to excel and a strong analytical aptitude have culminated in me acquiring admission to two of the most prestigious institutes of the country. I have always sought new challenges, be it at the workplace or otherwise. Strong analytical skills & experience of working under deadlines and pressure make me the right person for investment banking. Work on my dissertation to this point has involved extensive research, hypothesis formulation, hours of analysis, and team collaboration with my PhD advisor. In addition, my certification in FRM, CFA Level-I and five actuarial papers has increased my interest and honed my skills in the business arena. I believe my degree in electrical engineering from Jadavpur University laid a strong engineering foundation & rich extracurricular involvement. I am comfortable working with people of different backgrounds. I believe I can contribute in different areas in Investment Banking and Asset Management. I look forward to hear from you. Warm regards Soumojit Kumar IIM Calcutta
