What are the summer analyst class sizes for banks in London? I'm particularly interested in the class sizes of the American EBs. I've been told that the Evercore class size was ~20, the Centerview/PJT class sizes were~6, Lazard/Rothschild ~25 and BBs ~50. Would appreciate any info on this topic.

Been posted already, but I'll write it again:
Evercore - 20-25
Centerview - 6
PJT - 10-12
Moelis - 10
PWP - 8 (TBConfirmed)
Rotschild/Lazard - 30-35
GHL is super weird and takes 3x4 interns over the summer?
BBs tend to be around 50, some are a bigger (JPM), some are smaller (CS)
Lazard is like 20-25 people max
PJT is 13 this year
Interviewed this year for PWP, I do not remember the exact number they told me, but I am pretty sure it was in the 14-18 range
I mean they have been growing thus increasing classes my info was dated from the summer 2018 class, so probs outdated
Would add that BB class size varies a lot, from ~30 at UBS to ~80 at JPM
how about GS/MS/Citi? Investment banking class size for London.
~60-80 each give or take
For 2021 SA London I heard that MS has about 35 spots
The whole of Europe fighting for those sweet 600 or so BB/EB spots. Any idea the impact Covid had on class size?
No impact. If anything, my EB has actually recruited more than usual
in response to the quitting?
Know from first hand that some banks reduced headcount upfront, whilst others have delayed recruiting (instead of early september-october) to have some perspective which has lead to reductions & increases depending on the banks
