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.

 

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

 

They've definitely given out some, one of my friends has an offer and he's whiter than rice on notebook paper.

 

They've exclusively done diversity thus far for NYC. LA has filled I heard

 

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.

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

 

It's basically done. Some people (like me) have already accepted offers and others have superdays next week.

 

Have you heard anything more from Houlihan Lokey? Where do they have spots open?

 

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

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

 

they moved their process up a month and finished about a month ago. sucks for those of us who didnt network in time
