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!

BB M&A - we used to have 5-7 per class, I think.
Helpful, SB'ed! Assuming NYC?
Anyone have numbers for EBs?
evercore nyc was like 30
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.
I work at a middle market and we're taking 10-15 associates across all offices
These are pretty large classes! Good to know!
Summer Associate at BB: 60 across the entire firm about 45 in NYC, 6 in NYC coverage group
FT Associate at BB: 5 in coverage group
Great info - thanks for this! SB'ed
