BofA hasn't started recruiting yet but I know they are kicking off within the next two weeks. According to the other thread, Chicago did send out some phone screens.
DB also has another process coming up in fall.
Lazard, Centerview hasn't started yet.
PJT just kicked off yesterday.
Jefferies is under a hiring freeze but should start off in a month.
Scotiabank is also under a freeze.
TPH hasn't started yet.
Macquarie has a process coming up.
JPM hasn't started non-diversity NY yet.
UBS is all over the place but they still have spots left and should have more waves.
Will update if I hear about anything else.
TPH is done unless you’re in their bootcamp
UBS hasn’t started for non diversity. Spoke with a recruiter a few weeks ago who confirmed this. All the comments about offers in the UBS thread are either for the sophomore program or diversity. They’ll probably roll out SDs end of August
Thank the lord, all the people on the UBS thread gave me a heart attack
Thanks for this update man. Would SB but don't have any
UBS has given out non-diversity offers
They've definitely given out some, one of my friends has an offer and he's whiter than rice on notebook paper.
Thank you for this.
Is Jefferies hiring freeze thing true for all offices? Specifically San Fran and Houston?
I know it’s true for Houston, no idea about San Fran.
TPH has started and mostly done.
Barclays has only done some diversity, set to kick off in mid-late August.
Citi already has a lot of its class but there will be some recruiting still in fall.
GS is in the middle of the first wave of superdays
MS hasn't started for non-diversity NYC, although most regional slots are fully filled
PJT RSSG is finished, Evercore is finished, Moelis finished (?)
Some positions in Evercore SA have recently opened up. I didn't apply but I have friends that are getting first round calls
for M&A?
Just their direct hire stuff though which is not M&A/RSSG — that's stuff like equity research.
you're correct on Moelis and PJT RSSG, both finished in May
GS is essentially done. Seemed to have filled most for their spots with the first day of supers of the first wave. Already sent invites for the second wave in August which might just be an auto-reject depending on how many kids accept.
tragiccc....source on this?
Barclays was finished for Toronto in June. I’m surprised they would start later in the States.
They've exclusively done diversity thus far for NYC. LA has filled I heard
What're the best firms to look into for someone who dropped the ball and hasn't applied anywhere yet?
Jefferies, MMs, LMMs, any bank that kinda straddles BB/MM (RBC, HSBC, Macquarie, etc)
RBC finished in early June
This thread am I the only one who thinks recruiting has been a total shitshow this year?
It's always been a shitshow since the banks started accelerating the process, and corona just made things worse
It's even worse at the regional office level where BBs recruit three - four months apart

TBH I'm at a point where McDonald's looks like an attractive offer. Really sucks knowing on the back of my mind that if I go into Junior year without an offer then I am basically fucked.
But, on that note, I am a non-target/non-diversity, 3.85 GPA, part of school fund, will take your ankles in basketball and I swear I will work my butt off day 1 of summer 2021. So if you are part of any recruiting teams at a boutique, EB, MM, BB, please pm me and let's set up a networking call.

C/O 22 here. At this point I am just gunning for any role in finance
In the same boat. Real depressed. C/O 22 non target 4.0 with a commercial banking internship and of the 25 applications I sent out for Chicago, only Blair and GS got back to me with a thick rejection.
At this point I'm with you... hoping for any role in banking/finance after college.. This sucks
Lazard, Evercore capital markets, and Centerview are all open

HW starts end-Aug, Lincoln just started and has apparently sent out some 1st rounds
I don't understand why Lincoln is recruiting SA in NYC but not Chicago :/
Keybanc should have their 2021 class done soon
It's basically done. Some people (like me) have already accepted offers and others have superdays next week.
Oh shit good job man! How'd you hear back so fast? Phone call or email? Was it for Chicago?
Houlihan Lokey also has a hiring freeze like Jefferies, hopefully opens up at some point. Raymond James and Truist (SunTrust RH) should be at some point this fall. What is the general consensus on RJ and Truist? I’ve heard RJ has some great groups and overall a decent name. Also any insight on changes in Truist rep given the merger?
deleted
Why did RJ have an app open for Virginia SA? I applied for it, and then the next day it closed. Got rejected a couple days later lol
Was prob a mistake, it should be open in a few weeks.
Have you heard anything more from Houlihan Lokey? Where do they have spots open?
Houlihan Lokey LA M&A and RX are both done for SA 2021
Following and bump. Anywhere else still open and recruiting?
Wells
I applied back when CIB opened up but haven't heard anything since, still moving?
I thought IB closed in june?
Deleted.
To chip in on what I know for sure is closed:
PWP Moelis Evercore M&A and RX PJT RSSG Greenhill Citi HC, most of IB iirc
No clue about S&T, other divisions, if there are any corrections to this please lmk
RBC IB
Guggenheim, PJ Solomon, CS (maybe another wave in fall)
PJ has two slots left
For which office?
Can anyone offer any Chicago-specific insight?
GS is closed in Chicago and so is Blair... Still have an open application with CS and JPM.. Applied to Societe Generale earlier this week.
Any non-IB shops that are heavy on interns to look into? I was thinking United Airlines, Walgreens, or McDonald's corporate headquarters. Also gonna look into Ford HQ FP&A internships in Dearborn. Very interested in banking and it is definitely my first choice but things are starting to look grim. Non target 4.0 with a commercial banking internship and i haven't heard back anything except for rejections from WB and GS
Have a buddy who did data analysis at United in Chicago, who now is getting a HWS MBA, pay was pretty good and decent w-l balance too
Wait you got a rejection letter for GS? Email or on portal?
Portal
Bump does anyone know if DB, Citi or Credit Suisse is doing another wave for non-targets in the Fall/September?
I think CS is idk about the other two
Is Houston done for CS?
they moved their process up a month and finished about a month ago. sucks for those of us who didnt network in time
