Firms that (don't) fill their FT class with summers?

Some firms (e.g. Greenhill, PWP) seem to leave some space at the top for milk and sugar when it comes to hiring SA vs. FT, but others (e.g. BX) generally hire as many summers as they expect first year analysts FT. What funds typically under-hire SAs versus filling their class?

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had a really informative and actionable career roadmap with Tim. We went through what I wanted to do longterm and and then we went over the two different paths I was interested in. Tim gave me personal experience of colleagues that made similar steps to the sector that I want to be in. He then provided me with information on the timeline of I should expect when it comes to recruiting and what to do ahead of the time. There was a huge focus on getting a great resume fleshed out, networking with recruiters, current analysts, people who knew people who were hiring. There was a huge emphasis on getting the Series 65 that the company I'm currently working at done before continuing anything else. I look forward to working back with Tim on this endeavor around mid-November. ”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Great session. I was unsure about some changes that were suggested in the networking mastery course so I booked the LinkedIn review to get some guidance. I had worked with Jeppe before and we got along well so it was pleasant to collaborate again. I received all the information/guidance I was looking for.”
