Based on the most helpful WSO content, return offer rates for summer internships in investment banking can vary significantly depending on the bank, group performance, and broader economic conditions. Historically, return offer rates have ranged from 40% to 90%, with some banks or groups achieving near-perfect rates (e.g., Credit Suisse historically had very high rates, close to 85-90%).
However, factors like the size of the intern class, the firm's performance, and the overall market environment can heavily influence these rates. For example, during challenging times like the pandemic, some banks reduced return offers or adjusted their criteria.
If you're looking for specific updates on 2027, it might be worth monitoring forums or reaching out to peers for real-time insights as the summer progresses.
