I know of at least one MF that doesn't begin interviews until this upcoming Weds/Thurs. Decisions won't be made until next weekend/early the following week. Definitely not the case that all MFs are done.

 

Okay - as a MM 2nd year analyst....WTF. Not a single person in my office got more than 1 interview, and now (as far as I can tell) at least 50% of "familiar" shops have extended offers or are in final stages....I don't even know what is going on with 2017 summer. Last year 2017/2018 went all the way into July for many folks in my office, this year I don't even know.

Christ, I really don't want to become an IB associate.

 

lol - dude, I see what those guys go through. PURE DEPRESSION

Still bending over backwards for the client, still pulling 1-2am, PLUS you have to make sure your new analyst that churns out every 2 years isn't making silly mistakes...and right when they start to get the hang of things...they are...gone!

Unless I went to a culture shop, no thank you. haha

I'm not at a top MM - think RJ/PJC/Stifel (i.e. still respectable, but I know I'm not repping the ivy league of banks) - but my bankers are open as well. Frankly, I'm under the impression that recruiters are simply going to get BB and EB kids into interviews first, and by the nature of MM, we will follow throughout the next few months (at least that is me rationalizing) - this assumes you don't have any inside connections or Sr. bankers haven't called for you yet.

I have a few buddies at WB, who within my space, is kind of known as the premier software MM folks, and even they said their office didn't get the huge inflow of interviews that apparently have happened. So to answer your question, no; I don't necessarily know who's finalized and who hasn't.

Welcome to the stress train though! Reassuring to hear similar situations at least.

 

Posted this somewhere else, but this is the last Gobuyside email that I saw from Wed. morning, so I presume these guys will have wrapped up now (leaving many MM's still in the game)

Interviewed with two MF last week which was surprisingly early, but didn't move ahead. Anyone getting MM interviews this week?

Know of a couple places that are doing "follow-on" processes for like 1 open slot and a couple funds that are still doing their core process. All are what would considered Large Cap / Upper MM and/or MF
