Equity Research SA 2021
Hi Monkeys,
After scanning the ER forum, it doesn't seem like a ER SA 2021 recruiting thread has been created yet. Seems like it's beginning to become appropriate.
To my knowledge:
- RBC ER was either closed or taken down (ended in Feb.) - timeline is TBD
- Fidelity closes soon (MD said it closes Mar. 24th but it looks like the timeline may be pushed back)
- CS is open
Please correct me if any of this is wrong.
Thanks
Incoming ER Summer Analyst at BB here. As a heads up, you guys have a long wait before hearing any news. Almost all ER departments won't start the recruiting process until the fall. Personally, I had 5 first rounds last year. The earliest was late September, and the latest was late October. If I remember correctly, the only firms that recruit in the Spring for ER are Citi, RBC, and Baird.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if ER departments start scrapping internships programs. Last year, UBS, DB, BMO, and RBC all didn't recruit undergrads for ER. Wouldn't be shocked if more banks follow suit given the tough economic times. If I was in your guys' position, I'd be hedging my bets and recruiting for one other division too
