Hey guys, I recently accepted an offer to join a firm in Boston at the end of my graduation in 2021. My tentative start date is June/July 2021 but I was wondering if anyone knew if they would be starting in-person or virtually. I want to start in-person so I am hoping for the best but was wondering what opinions you guys have on what might happen.

Brb let me get out my crystal ball
I think ft will start in-person. Even the latest estimates I've heard regarding vaccine distribution is late spring-early summer. Also, note that a number of banks already have current analysts coming in-person (JPM, GS, BAML or so I've heard)
I don’t even think it’s a matter of the vaccine anymore. It isn’t even about logic anymore, organizations are going to be afraid to make people go back. I feel like SA21 will be virtual, but who knows.
SA I can see since you're there for such a short period of time but I was referring to FT. Also even if you disregard the vaccines a lot of firms are already having analysts go back as it stands.
Lmao I asked this in my superday for a summer position and the partner who was interviewing me said that he would pick up the phone and call Fauci. I actually believed it for a second...
This wouldn’t be unbelievable if it was coming from Government Sachs lmao

True, it was an EB with the same caliber of influence as Government Sachs (there were a few partners that are big into Democrat politics), so that's why I was convinced for a few seconds.
What firm is it?
Anyone have any insight/idea as to wether firms will really let SA21 interns be in the office?
curious
No one knows, but the return dates in general have been getting pushed back and back. I think DB said July at the earliest, so would imagine their SA will be virtual.
Might start in person but what I heard during my summer is that they’re gonna change the standard. WFH likely to be much more accepted
Incoming FT but never heard anything specifically about in person or starting virtual yet. In terms of timeline waiting for this past summer, I think it wasn't until April that it was confirmed to be shortened+virtual for the summer so I wouldn't expect any official news soon cause firms would rather wait on the chance it can be in-person than commit to virtual too early.
Starting FT in January, firm expects us in the office by July.
Starting ft in feb at a BB here. R u going into PE or banking?
