SAs with no offer?

What happens to summers who don't get FT offers? My group was particularly difficult, and had less than a 50% retention rate? So are we screwed for FT recruiting (IF there even is full time recruiting)? I have heard that banks don't even know how many analysts they need, and that some banks are on a rolling basis? Any advice? Thanks.

banks will be recruiting.. mostly at the uber/tier 1 targets though..

good luck to everyone out there. you guys are looking for offers to start next summer. so you should be able to get through this recruiting cycle at another semi bb bank.

jus keep in mind that Citi rescinded 5 or so full time offers during nov/dec after the full time recruiting cycle was well underway.

i havent heard much news of layoffs happening but i believe banks will be recruiting full time one campus, but the recruiting budgets must be significantly reduced so they can't hit as many campuses as they'd like or host as many "receptions" as they used to.

and with my laid off analysts out there, who knows how much lateraling will be going in the coming years.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
 

how long after the end of the internship are you typically contacted by HR? Do they simply e-mail you whether you have an offer or not? Do they typically let rejects know after those given offers?

 

Delayed offer means exactly that- they're waiting to determine if they can offer you a FT position. Usually they've offered other SA's a spot and are waiting on there decisions, but other factors- market, etc- may come into play with a delayed offer.
