I did FT recruiting last year, send a message if you want to ask any questions, would be happy to help. 

 

Hey I’m currently an IB SA at a 20 man shop that does M&A. They don’t give FT offers so I have to recruit FT. Its in a tier 2 city. I want to recruit into a MM in NYC. What are my chances? I have already started networking. Thanks in advance!
