GS will or won't do FT recruiting?

They will be doing FT recruitment - see my other thread

Off the top of my head, I don't really know of any firms that aren't recruiting for FT positions this year. I heard that JPM is planning to take the bulk of its FT staff from SA positions, but not sure how many slots will be left over after that. The better question would be how much has recruiting dropped from 2 years ago. In other words, bank may be recruiting, but are they recruiting for 70-80, or are they recruiting for 20?

deutsche isnt, jpm and gs are doing a little bit, citi is doing a ton

Blackstone M&A, Centerview, and Greenhill are also doing FT recruiting.

as are moelis, evercore, pwp, and gleacher

Are you in New York? DB is doing FT for IBD and Sales/Trading.

To echo what BoB said, I think most banks are doing FT recruiting.

Based on my school's career website: GS, MS, BarCap, UBS, and CS are all doing FT recruiting. And for the Canadians that care: as are RBC, CIBC, TD, BMO, Scotia, NBF, and CPPIB.

if i were you guys, i'd be targeting the boutiques hard. places like moelis, greenhill, evercore, blackstone look pretty attractive right now, as opposed to most of the bbs

cdnbanker - is that ubs recruiting posting for ny? the only posting i've seen was for la office (@ wharton)

edit: i was told db isnt coming onto campuses. they are still open to the idea of doing a limited number of phone interview->superday recruiting off-campus on an ad-hoc basis. my source is the head of recruiting at a target.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. So I flew out to interview with them a few months ago (as a lateral hire) and the guys were ok, and the interview was pretty easy...but then I had to meet with Colleen (she's the head of recruiting) in NY, and she was the biggest bitch ever. Keep in mind I was at a TOP BB. She was like "why would moelis hire YOU...I mean we can get whoever we want"

Sorry for the rant, I am glad I stayed in NY and am now on the buy-side!

Not really, Colleen is actually one of the nicer recruiters I've met. Very down to earth, and happy to take the time to chat. I mean no offense by this (bc I don't know you), but the fact that you capitalized "TOP" BB makes you seem overly cocky - maybe your arrogance rubbed her the wrong way?

yeah, colleen was always really nice to me

MoneyKingdom, if you were at GS, just say it.

Looking at my school's OCR, Greenhill, Evercore, CS, Citi, BoaMer, Jefferies, and some smaller boutiques are the only ones up there for IBD so far. Keep in mine the positions are for mostly regional offices (and a few NY).

I have heard that in general, banks under-hired for the summer, those who scaled back their summer programs more than those who kept numbers closer to historical levels. I haven't heard of any that are not doing recruiting in the Fall. In fact, some starting interviewing during the summer for FT positions.

For those at target schools, have you come across any postings in s&t? I passed my resume on to a few BBs who said they were doing very little to no recruiting in s&t full time.

I attend a top target and postings are going up everyday. Seems there are a ton (Citi chalking in 210 interview slots etc). Don't know how many they will actually hire though.

Well the reason she was probably a b!tch MonkeyKingdom is because you prob came off as a pretentious ass.

she wouldn't happen to be a skinny blond girl would she?

she's blonde...

For full-time positions to start next June? Where/how are they interviewing?

Yes, for FT beginning next June. Those are accelerated interviews generally given to summer interns at different banks (or same bank, different division).

aardvarkaa and mainstreet have clearly never interviewed with Moelis - Colleen's a brunette, early to mid-thirties.

what about CS

target so far i see

GS - ibd, s&t MS - s&t, public finance, pwm C - cap markets, s&t, risk BAC - risk BNP Paribas - sales, structuring

Citadel, DE Shaw, DRW Trading

Seeing the same stuff, plus BofA has multiple IBD visits.

GS-IBD GPA requirement is only 3.0?! This surprised me, I wonder why they have the cutoff so low. Though, I doubt they settle for anything less than 3.5.

Someone at JPM (IBD) told me they were hiring FT, but the vast majority are SA's. No exact numbers though.
