Wondering if anyone has joined any of the top banks as a direct graduate hire? (without having done SA with that bank) Either with no experience at all or with internships elsewhere?
Anyone been poached? Don't know if it's as big a thing in London as in NYC

Yes, with two off-cycle internships at different banks in their regional offices
Yes possible
do you mind me asking where?
I've never seen anyone join one of the top BBs before? (except 1 at JPM)
GS, JPM, Lazard, PJT, PWP, Centerview, Evercore and surely more that I didn’t interview with
did any of them contact you or was this all through normal application/recruitment?
Applications/networking
How many spots were there for each firm respectively?
Not specified or varies. JPM wasn’t doing FT this year. Boutiques depends on recent dealflow, conversion of interns
