Some EBs (you can probably guess which) are planning to give as many returns as possible
moelis? Evercore?
PJT & Centerview bruh bruh
Not looking good. Think that slightly over half will get returns.
friend got 1/3 in his group across analysts and asso
Same
Friend of mine’s group has a 20% return offer rate for their group
Holy smokes
If this is at a BB this is cap
It is at a BB, not cap
It's so over
We found out last week, gonna be around 50%
Rumored to be 60% for my group
Around 60% in my group as well
Well the asso in my group came out the conference room whispering “it’s tough” and I over heard. at a BB
Bump
We’re so fucked guys!
GS Classic group 90%+
Across all groups or just yours?
It was high across most if not all Classic coverage groups but not sure about financing
Redacted
Can confirm! 95% in my group
Middle Market looks like it might be 1/3.
My bank (MM) had ~50%
Interesting, HL had 90%+ return rates
My group was 60%
BB?

one of my friends told me his group had a ~15% return offer rate. another connection at a BB told me maybe 50% of the summer analysts are getting returns
How are return rates looking for EBs? Heard LAZ was low
any numbers?
Heard above 90%
….
Hearing UBS offer rate of roughly 50%. Not sure if true but rumor that the CS offer rate will be sub 20%. Rip
As folks rumor over offer rates - I hope people keep in mind that return offer rate really comes in two types. I was thinking about this since my group just announced returns and the rate honestly doesn't capture the full context based on my experience with the summers.
Let's say our group needs 6 analysts - we have 6 interns. Offer rate turns out to be 50% - this is not the ideal situation. In a perfect world would be 100% as we really don't want to have to do a superday and there are merits to building out the same intern class.
Very different from banks / groups where they need 6 analysts and then hire 12 interns. Then in a perfect world the best offer rate you can get is 50%. Both approaches you will find in different bank and groups.
For all the interns and prospects just keep this in mind as you think about offer rates. My group's offer rate wasn't really meaningful since all interns were judged on individual basis and unfilled spots will be filled. But hard to tell from just a 50% or a 33% or a 75% number.
To clarify: do you mean that the reason offer rates were 50% for your group was not due to headcount constraints, but rather underperforming interns?
What did half do to not earn a return?
Part of the low return offer rate calculus is certainly a stronger “free agent” pool of folks without return offers so people think they can get higher quality candidates to replace
For what it's worth, I have also heard the same thing. I know for a fact that a certain MM bank was approaching analysts that were laid off from GS / MS / JPM that spots would be open for them when FT applications opened up.
Yep, seems like there are 6 unemployed Silver Lake PE interns floating around
Top MM, office got nearly 100%.
which MM?
probably HL
Just say the fucking name
~60% for a few groups I know
Can confirm around 60% in my group.
anyone have insight on bofa offer rates?
>90% in most groups. Consumer, FIG, and LevFin likely much lower but others very solid.
Can confirm 90%+ across GCIB (IBK & Product groups).
Anyone know about MS?
Confirming UBS / CS likely around 50% / 20%
Not sure where you got the 20% figure, but there were no return offers given by CS.
Offers would be given by UBS through an application process that included a Hirevue and Superday.
From speaking to other interns, not many people received that Superday so I would put that number closer to 5-10%.
Hey VP,
Do you know what Off-Cycle return rates look like for UBS? And does this vary per team?
Anyone can shed light on S&T return rates?
Top BB snt around 70-80%
My group (MM Bank): 25% (1/4)
Not due to headcount. More so quality.
Goddamn what city
NYC
Can people disclose firm or group? You're anon and I'm guessing your team has other people so would appreciate the clarity.
Heard it was 1-3 out of our total 7 interns. Not looking like a great year for anybody
What kind of bank and in NYC?
JPM coverage group ~70%
--
Big if true
RIP the JP M&A FT offer dream i guess lol
At an EB M&A shop (Centerview/PJT/Evercore)…~80% of summer analysts and 75% of summer associates received FT offers
Is your team planning on making any FT hires or has were the 20% that didn’t get offers just not good enough
What city?

Congrats on Baird.
Only one of those had given offers at that point, why not just say it?
All pretty high. PJT was lower

Really curious on MM / LMM banks. Anyone have data for places like Truist, DC Advisory, Stifel, Lincoln, etc.? Heard KBCM was brutal so curious how their peers stack up.
Stifel was around 50-55%
Lincoln was probably 80-90%
~75% for summer associates, ~100% for summer analysts
At BB
BofA?
What's the word with JPM, specifically the tech and m&a group
Anyone heard about returns from PWP?
~90%
Where’d you hear that?
Japanese bank: no placements in m&a group, dcm, sales & trade
This must be Nomura cause I heard they performed horrid this year.
Could be. I heard Greentech had very high return offer rates(90 ish %) though.
Anyone have DB numbers?
most teams cut 1-2 interns
Unsure of whole group, by my office had 100% returns offered. Regional office of EB*
*I fucking hate the term "EB"
Blackrock is not giving return offer decision until late August / early September. All blk interns are free agents for now.
Incompetent HR
who asked?
No way wtf. Why?
They want to finalize the headcount.
This isn't a one-time thing either - this happens every year (the FT analysts said that they got their return offers in Sept/Oct even during the 2021-22 summers).
BMO offered ~85% of interns on Canadian side. Great class this year. No insight on US.
PWP LA summer analyst return rate was 100%, Moelis LA gave out close to 100% as well.
Stifel - 50%
Is this for NY?
bofa coverage 50% return offer rate
Which group? Seems weird given M&A was 100%. Know FIG and Consumer were bad but not this bad.
either FIG, C&R, or NET
RBC ~75%
For summers, we gave out ~40% returns for analysts and ~60% for associates (all finance pre-MBA).
