Technical Associate Program at the First Boston Corporation -


1. The Firm and the Program -

The First Boston Corporation is consistently ranked as one of the top
three Wall Street firms, and has a reputation for innovative products
and impeccable integrity.  Headquartered in New York City, we are part
of CS First Boston Group, Inc., a prominent international investment
banking firm.

Information Services at First Boston solve business related problems
through the application of technology.  Unlike some of our
departments, associates are hired into permanent (not 2 year) 
positions.

We have a three month training program that includes both intensive
technical and financial training.  In a general sense, the technical
training will expand your knowledge of advanced systems and processes,
especially as it relates to the investment banking industry.  More
specifically, seminars include HPS CASE tools, local area networks,
database, and UNIX/C.  The financial training is equally comprehensive
and provides a complete introduction to sales and trading and
investment banking.  We also provide for your ongoing financial
training with graduate level classes in capital markets.  Similarly,
specific advanced technology workshops are offered to enhance your
skills.

In 1992, we hired 26 new Technical Associates.  Approximately half of
them have UNIX or networking (on SUN 4's) initial assignments, and the
rest are doing CASE tool application in various departments throughout
the firm.  And two will be heading to Tokyo for a two year assignment.


2. The candidates -

We are looking for undergraduates who will be _graduating in the
spring of 1993_.

The ideal candidates should have a strong analytical background (for
example, majors in engineering, or computer science) with programming
experience and analytical skills, an interest in business, a
demonstrated record of achievement, and the interpersonal skills
necessary to work effectively as part of a team.

Applicants should have GPA's over 3.5/4.0, and score over 700 on their
math SAT.

Boston have separate schedules).  If we are not interviewing at your
