JPM is ~140 for IBD
Is this just US?
I'd be interested to hear about class sizes in London.
JPM ~85 in London.
Seems like it's around 50 at most BBs in London
From what I heard in London: - PJT: ~ 8-10 (they're doing both M&A and RX) - Nomura: ~ 40 IBD and 40 S&T - Qatalyst: 1 (needs to be confirmed though)
That number seems way too high. Is this including ALL "IB" SA's? i.e. PubFin, DCM ECM, IB Risk, or only traditional IB
All the coverage groups, M&A, LevFin, Sponsors, DCM, ECM, and a group called Corporate Finance Advisory (I'm not sure what they do)
This is NYC.
Thank you. I had no idea classes were that big in NYC alone.
~50 in my class. Notable MM
PWP 15-17 Centerview 15ish Guggenheim 50ish Lazard NYC 17-20 Greenhill 8-10? (Someone tell me if I'm missing anything)
All I can think of so far top of my head
Centerview is ~25 and Lazard is ~40 for m&a/rx, fyi
Guggenheim 50ish? They are way bigger than I realized.
MM: ~40 at HQ, ~5 in satellite office A, 3 in satellite office B and 1 in satellite office C
Evercore NYC M&A: ~50
intern class last year was 30, but they took just over 40 for FT NYC M&A
deleted
will Evercore do a superday with non targets or is that done already as well?
They don't hire non-targets
Around 130 at my firm
The numbers are larger than I expected, so this means every year there are thousands of SA positions landed huh?
Does anyone know the class sizes in San Francisco?
Bump for SF class sizes!
GS ~ 16 MS ~ 10 JPM ~ 18 CS - used to be ~8-10 but not sure after their shakeup Barclays ~ 6 BAML ~ 6 Evr ~ 4 Laz ~ 4
Damm this is really small. No wonder all the offers go to pretty much Berkeley kids.
Also, does GS include TMT and WRA? And same for MS.
JPM sadly dropped to 12 this year. Your numbers are pretty darn accurate for the banks I know - curious if you're already an FT analyst?
what about moelis?
SocGen: 15 IBD NYC, 20 S&T
Pjt ny is approx ~30 across advisory, rssg, and park hill.
How about other MMs (Piper, HW, HL, Cowen, Jeff)?
~50 SA for Piper I think which has gone up every year due to acquisitions such as that of Simmons.
Anyone know the numbers for HK IB? From HK and would like to back sometime, wanted to get a perspective on the size of the HK offices.
PJT is 8 in rssg (usually 5-6 harvard/wharton kids and 2-3 others) apparently MS is approximately 150 in NY IB (not including GCM)
Some of these #s are way way off...MS has no more than 80 for IB, and I think it’s more like 65-70.
Can confirm MS has around 80, and a lot of numbers on this thread are overstated.
GS has around a 100 for NY IBD
DB 50 S&T
CS, DB, UBS IBD are about ~50-65 as of last year for NYC
TPH, Jefferies are about 8 - 9 in Houston
JPM Tech SF class is going to be 11-12 for 2019 summer
Anyone have numbers for AM? Think BlackRock, Fidelity..
Fido is ~10 in BOS, ~3 in HK, TROW ~ 5 in BWI
.
Way too big. Even including satellite offices that seems too big. Like I said above, EVRs FT class was ballpark 40 this year for NYC m&a, then add ~10 for peripheral groups like rx, then ~20 for offices in Houston, Menlo park, Chicago, Toronto... Still short of 100
BAML ~ 85
NYC, that is.
DB IBD SA SF: 6 for tech 1 for finspons
