Is there anyone who has done a cb with or got an offer from international offices, particularly in Asia (HK, Singapore, etc.)?

Yes, I am native speaker. There was actually a Chinese oral & writing test after the CB.

Congrats! Different anon here. Do you plan to accept the offer? I got an offer from DPW HK but am quite concerned about the market in HK, cause I heard HK offices are very focused on IPOs.

Would you guys mind sharing how the recruitment process works? Did you go through your school's OCI or contact the local office directly? Thanks!

Email application in late-June/early-July. They will schedule screener and CB. Skadden moved fast. DPW was much slower.

To those who received an offer: do you mind sharing your stats? Is it more competitive than NY?

I'm curious -- how do international callbacks work? Do you skype with Asia or go to the NY office and meet people who work on Asia matters...?
