Does anyone know the recruitment timeline for different cities (Chicago, Houston, New York, San Fran specifically)? Also, does anyone know what is or isn't wrapping up? I know Houston's done, not sure about the rest.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into recruitment timelines:
Chicago: Networking is key, and some bankers suggest starting early, especially with firms like Baird, Lincoln, and Piper. However, others recommend waiting to reach out depending on the situation.
New York (NYC): Full-time recruiting for 2021 was already competitive, with many spots filled early. Bulge brackets and boutique banks may have limited openings, so it's crucial to act quickly if you're targeting NYC.
Houston: As you mentioned, Houston's recruitment seems to be wrapping up.
San Francisco: Specific details about San Francisco's timeline aren't provided in the context, but it's generally advisable to start networking and applying early, as tech-focused roles in SF can be highly competitive.
If you're targeting specific cities, it's best to stay proactive, network with alumni, and keep an eye on firm-specific timelines.
