Bulge Brackets Hiring - Hire people for the summer?

Hi,

Are Morgan Stanley and UBS (ibanking) going to hire people for the summer? I don't want to turn down boutique superdays on the basis of focusing my efforts on nonexistent opportunities, but I also don't want to miss so many days of school for jobs that I don't really want.

Thanks,

Gene

Putting the incoherence of the above post aside, they are both hiring SAs...just fewer than in the past. It is a hard decision that you will have to weigh firm by firm. If the decision is tiny boutique vs MS, then you should go with MS. If it is Evercore/Houlihan then lean towards the boutique.

 

how's the air up there on cloud #9? Haha... be happy you're getting superdays with anyone at this point. There are a lot of very smart kids who have to give up on their banking dreams for now.
