are there less spots this year?

Ignore my seniority (not an analyst) but I am a current sophomore at a non-Ivy target. Looking around my finance club it seems placements is definitely below what the previous classes got at around this point of the recruiting cycle. Only the best kids in the club have offers while most of the "mediocre" analysts are still recruiting, while in previous years almost everyone on the club gets at least a BB offer. Speaking to some friends at other targets, it seems they are having the same issue.

Also a target non-ivy school here, and what I can say is that offers are definitely starting to roll out here at JPM/MS and some MM and EBs, but thats all I've seen, not really paying attention too much tbf. 

 

In the UK, yes.

I know one BB that cut their internship class from 50 to 20 ish in FO.

Most places are going with the approach of only hiring the numbers they need as opposed to taking in a lot of interns and converting a %.
