I just spoke to a connection at William Blair and he is saying that recruiting and applications start next month. I posted about this exact topic earlier in late August and everyone said that there is no shot of applications opening before the new year. Are you guys still sure about this, or do applications generally drop next month for all the banks?

Given the current date of September 26, 2024, and the information from previous years, it's plausible that some banks might start their recruiting processes next month. However, timelines can vary significantly between banks, so it's always best to stay updated with each bank's specific recruiting announcements.

Bump
Spoke to a head recruiter at Citi. Says applications open in January. Most bankers and upperclassmen I have spoken to expect the same thing for all BBs and most of the other banks.
Would you put all or most of the MM banks into this category of "most other banks as well"?
Honestly not sure. Probably most, like as in over 50%, but there are definitely many that don't follow that timeline.
Appreciate it dude, been sweating balls since I someone told me recruiting starts next month for all the banks. Thanks for responding!
Your welcome. Whoever said that gave false information. Use the next 3 months to prepare for interviews (I'd buy a course) and networking with bankers. You seem like you're in great shape.
U were right William blair opened
