Not 100% sure but pretty much all offers went to non Brits which is hilariously sad
Also noticed
Friends at JPM didn't get returns across divisions. MS is expected though they are known for this. GS have offers come out at all? havent seen any
At JPM- Offers are out, unfortunately the Brits were inferior. Not their fault, some of these lads this was their first professional experience.
Going forward, it’s not just knowing how valuation and DCF works conceptually but how to model it on Excel and design a creative slide- this is your Job as an Analyst.
If you have Roths or other middle Market offer and a BB, and you genuinely know you can’t ramp up. Please take Roths to be safe
.
Why is that sad?
Why would they hire Brits to cover continental Europe? Brits are still overrepresented and should be happy that they even have this many finance jobs in such close proximity. Not to mention that they have the easiest way in, without having to stack internships or pursue a master’s degree.
I am surprised, I thought JPM historically give out return offer to most people
In my case they gave offers to 25+ year old europeans from HEC/Escp (who had multiple internships already) instead. Friend of mine (brit) got one somehow, but tbh he grinded harder.
Now the expectation is that you are a master student, speak multiple languages, and have done relevant internships. Where do they find that? Hec Escp bocconi students who are honestly already loaded af. The doors just keep closing...
Sad state of affairs.. But reality honestly.
BofA quite low, heard GIG returned about 50%
