Equity Research 2020 FT Recruiting Megathread

Hey guys, just had a quick question about the situation on FT ER recruiting. Do banks ever recruit internally and how likely is it to be done? If you have any insights on this year that would be super helpful as well. Thanks a ton!

Equity Research Full Resume Review

“wilson was an excellent mentor throughout the entire resume review process and i genuinely appreciated the time and effort he put into helping me improve my application. what stood out most was how thorough and attentive he was in understanding my background and making sure my experiences were accurately represented. he went beyond simply editing my resume by asking thoughtful questions and helping me identify ways to better communicate my accomplishments. in particular he helped me articulate the experience of building and selling my own business to a search fund and understand how to position that experience as a differentiator when applying to investment banking and private equity roles. he also provided practical advice on how to approach interviews and communicate my experience effectively. i especially appreciated his patience, responsiveness, and willingness to go back and forth until every detail was right. he was genuinely personable throughout the process and made what could have been a fairly straightforward resume review feel like a much more valuable mentorship experience. i am very grateful for his help and would highly recommend working with him to anyone going through the wso academy program.”

Also interested in FT recruiting for ER. Are there any notable programs out there for new analysts? All I've seen is the AllianceBernstein Equities Associate rotational program but wondering if there's more out there just in terms of ER.
