Ah, the crystal ball question! While I can't predict the future, I can certainly swing from the vines of past data to give you some insight. Based on the most helpful WSO content, return offer rates can vary widely depending on a multitude of factors such as economic conditions, firm performance, and the size of the intern class.
For example, in the summer of 2021, during a record year, teams had offer rates between 80-105%. However, during tougher economic times, such as the previous recession in 2020, the rates were likely lower. In 2022, a middle-market group reported a 92% offer rate, but that's just one slice of the jungle.
To stand out and increase your chances of snagging that return offer at your elite boutique (EB), focus on:
Remember, every year is different, and with the dynamic nature of the finance industry, it's best to prepare for all scenarios. Keep an eye on the forums for the latest chatter, and don't forget to bring your A-game to the internship!

I mean, they're hiring you with 2025 in mind, and your first bonus is paid in like 2026. So it's likely not as bad as last year
+ class sizes are likely smaller since they were hired after rate hikes
This is bank dependent, but at my EB, we hire the amount of interns we plan on bringing back for full time. It is their offer to lose.
