Would argue against the person above. Yes CB interviews are easier from a technical side but competition is a lot higher as incoming CB classes are 25-30 compared to 125-75 analysts in IB. My firm (CIB BB) has a few Analyst 1-2 spots open right now but received hundreds of applications for those few slots. Market is tough at the moment. Great gig overall though.
I believe the intern is process is over but would recommend networking.
if you're comfortable sharing, which firm is it?
To your third point- I would say most places have either already hired or are wrapping up. It’s still accelerated when compared to other jobs but steps behind traditional IB.
For first year analysts? Didnt notice postings since august.
Apologies; I would assume that FT, outside of the BB’s, is less structured and on a more rolling basis. Networking is your friend in that department.
