I can only speak to what I observed after the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. The banking job market went from full-time offers being pulled around the summer of 2008 to massive internship offers made for the summer of 2010. At the time, the perception was that there were a lot of transactions to sort through after a lot of losses were backstopped either through government interventions or risky institutions being acquired by solid institutions.
I suspect we will see something similar here where banks and institutions will try to overhire when they anticipate the markets reopening. I don't recall experienced graduates competing with recent graduates for the same jobs though; by that point, the people with 1-2 years of experience have different goals and objectives (i.e., planning to attend business school, finding an industry they like, etc.) compared to fresh graduates.
