IB Associate Class Sizes?

Hi all,

A lot of discussion around Analyst class sizes, but wondering if the good people of WSO can provide data points for Associate (either FT or SA) class sizes?

As someone entering an M7 MBA program next year, pursuing IB, curious to know how the numbers tend to fall between BBs and EBs. Looking for NYC figures (or LA, if you have them). Would be great if you could mention bank/group, as applicable. Thanks in advance!

Yes. To be clear this is just the M&A group. I don’t know how many the other groups have, but it’s probably similar.
