As far as your math test score, that's not supposed to be shared with you. Other than pass vs. fail, your performance on it doesn't affect hiring any further, to my knowledge.
For location, you won't have a choice of just any C1 campus. It depends largely on the open requisitions at the time. Generally for BA roles you will have a McLean or Richmond choice; many teams have members in both locations. There is currently no pay differential for living in DC. For DA roles - possibly one or two additional locations at any given time (chronically shortstaffed for DAs). I'm Richmond-based myself - it still offers me the largest selection of new opportunities without the prospect of needing to move ;)
If you are interested in other locations, there have been more Dallas (auto finance) requisitions popping up, and occasionally roles in Boston (strategy) as well.
You shouldn't take having those choices as a given, though. |

Hi c1analyst,
thanks for the reply. I am an electrical engineering major. I was wondering how C1 looks at EEs. I know they hired 1 last year from my school. During the interviews how do I give a convincing reply why I want to work in a financial area as opposed to designing chips or circuits? My reason is that as an EE I have a strong quantitative and analytical background and want to apply that knowledge in a mathematically involved field like Finance. Here I would also get an opportunity to apply my strong interpersonal and communications skills- something that is rare in EE. Does this sound like a solid reason to you if you were interviewing me?
Thanks again for your help...really appreciate it!
