Hi! Am currently a sophomore (27) recruiting for 2026. Did not prepare the best entering recruiting in IB / started very late and now am very sad and discouraged from so many failed interviews. Is this recruiting season over? Will I still have a chance to get a job for 2026? Which firms still will recruit throughout spring and summer of 2025? Would love some reassurance or some hard truths :’)

Bro, 27 is the average age of an intern in Europe. You’re right on track.
I’d predict that ~75% of NYC spots are full
