Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the majority of the major firms have finished their recruiting process. However, it's always worth keeping an eye out for opportunities in hedge funds or public market investing roles. These sectors can sometimes have different recruiting timelines. Remember, it's not just about the name of the firm, but also about the experience and learning opportunities you'll get. So, don't discount a role just because it's not at a mega fund. Keep networking, stay positive, and remember that persistence pays off in this industry. Good luck!
