ft recruiting 2025

hi, I know it's early but I was curious if anyone had an early outlook on FT Recuriting for roles in 2025. Given that 2024 was an absolute shit show, since banks hired less for SA 2024, will FT for 2025 have a better outlook?

Hey there! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's a bit early to predict the exact outlook for FT recruiting for roles in 2025. However, I can share some insights based on previous trends and discussions.

  1. The 2024 summer associate hiring did indeed seem to be a bit of a rollercoaster, with banks taking smaller class sizes. This could potentially impact the number of return offers and thus the availability of FT roles in 2025.

  2. However, it's important to remember that the finance industry is dynamic and things can change rapidly. Market conditions, deal flows, and other factors can significantly influence hiring decisions.

  3. If you're planning to re-recruit for an EB or BB for FT 2025, it's a good idea to continue building your resume and aim to perform exceptionally well in your 2024 summer role. This will increase your chances of landing a return offer or catching the eye of other potential employers.

  4. Keep networking and stay connected with professionals in the industry. This can provide you with valuable insights and potentially open up opportunities.

Remember, the key is to stay adaptable, keep improving your skills, and stay connected. And of course, keep an eye on the WSO forums for the latest discussions and insights!
