Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's too early to determine which firms are furthest along in the process for SA 2027, as the timeline for SA recruiting typically follows a structured pattern. Historically, firms like Guggenheim and Wells Fargo have been among the earliest to start interviews, often beginning as early as March for NYC roles. Other firms like Evercore, Greenhill, and JPMorgan tend to follow in April, with superdays and offers rolling out shortly after.

For exploding offers, it's common for firms to issue them during the peak recruiting months (April to June), with deadlines to accept quickly. Keep an eye on firms like Citi, BAML, and Morgan Stanley, as they often move fast once interviews begin.

If you're targeting SA 2027, ensure you're networking early, preparing for technicals, and monitoring updates on WSO threads for real-time insights.
