Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, banks like Citi, Barclays, and Jefferies are known to recruit a significant number of full-time analysts. These are large, full-service banks that often keep spots for everyone, especially those who interned with them.
For middle-market (MM) platforms, the specifics aren't detailed in the context, but MM banks generally recruit based on their deal flow and regional presence. If you're targeting MM banks, networking and staying updated on their hiring timelines through alumni or forums like WSO is key.
For BB (bulge bracket) banks, the recruitment process is often tied to their summer analyst programs, with many converting interns to full-time roles.
