2021 IB SA RECRUITING (U.S.)- LATEST UPDATE

Hi monkeys,

Before anyone gets pissed seeing another 2021 thread, just wanted to write this up for many who are still uncertain about the whole process and not sure which firms are recruiting.From my understanding, these firms are either still recruiting or yet to kick off another round specifically for INVESTMENT BANKING roles in the next few weeks.

Please comment if there should be any changes to the list or if there are more banks not mentioned here that are still recruiting... 


CERTAIN:

Jefferies (NY)

BofA

Lazard - M&A and Restructuring

DB 

Credit Suisse

JPM

GS

PJT 

Macquarie Capital 

UNCERTAIN:

MS

Nomura

Stifel

Cowen

Anyone have an update on Citi and its non core process? Would any current analysts happen to know?

 

Any idea if Jefferies Houston is still recruiting? Last I heard they were on a hiring freeze?

 

From what I know so far, heard Citi is wrapped up. BofA may have another round depending on how many people accept offers. CS and DB kicking off soon. If anyone else knows has an insight into the process from reliable resources, chime in. Does anyone know if Jefferies NYC IBD is done with first rounds?

 

Do you go to a target school? I am on the same boat as well. I had networks pushing for me with referrals; yet I never received an first round..

 

UBS has been running through entry phone screens in the past week pre-first round

Nah they're still doing phone screens right now before the actual first rounder

KBW has first rounds going on. Unclear if they’re just starting.

BofA has had SDs every week for almost a month now. I assume they’re close to done given they also had their accelerated program months prior.

JPM SDs are out and just starting (?) for regular.
