How is junior year recruiting as someone with BB IB soph. exp?

Questions directed towards those who had soph. BB IB internship and were recruiting for junior year SA position.

How was your experience?

In what ways was it easier and in what ways was it more difficult?

Many firms will recruit before the soph internship even takes place. How did you speak about the experience? 

Did you feel, or were there any instances where less networking sufficed for junior year recruiting because of the soph. BB IB internship?

Majority who intern at top and mid-tier BBs end up staying if they like their group, but it is pretty easy to recruit out if you want. Most UBS/DB kids try to leave.
