BB IBD SA 2021 Headcount Decreasing?

Hearing that some BBs are expected to reduce intern class size for 2021. Can anyone validate or invalidate this statement overall or provide what individual banks are doing?

That's the thing I'm curious about as well. Although, 2020 SA are the banks 2nd year analysts for 2022-2023 and honestly, 2nd year analysts are probably the best bang for your buck and are needed for all the dirty work, as the 1st years are still learning how to do the job and have little experience.

 

SA 2020 recruiting closed long before covid was a major threat so the numbers for that class are locked in. Add in the fact that there's no fair/meaningful way to distinguish between SAs in a virtual internship so a greater percentage have to be converted than a bank would typically like, they'll be left with a surplus of analysts next year so it's reasonable they'd make up for it by hiring less the following year. Purely hypothetical but it's a reasonable logic
