FT Banking Recruiting 2021

Hey WSO!

Curring rising senior interested in FT Banking opportunities but have a couple of questions.

1.) Do banks hire analysts for full time who didn't intern with them? Mostly interested in boutiques (Evercore, Moelis, PJT)

2.) Any idea of what the timeline would look like for these opportunities?

Thank you!

Assuming you're talking abt New York -

Last year, Evercore M&A started interviews while Summer Analysts were still working - last week of July / first week of august.

In terms of other EBs, I dont think CVP NY hired anyone FT; PJT had 2 open spots last year iirc; Laz didn't interview until pretty late (end of August / early September); PWP made some FT hires in August; Rothschild (ok maybe not EB but) started FT later; unsure about others.

More niche boutiques, Allen & Co., Qatalyst (not NY but maybe still relevant), and Liontree were all recruting for FT; Raine group was not iirc; unsure about others.

BBs, I know GS/MS all made full-time hires; BAML hired some people FT; likely all banks did but don't know for sure. I don't think JPM was recruiting full-time, but that might be nonsense

Source: went through FT recruiting / go to a target where basically everyone I know recruited FT with varying degrees of success.
