Rough numbers (JPM)- Take with a pinch of salt could be off +/- 1
Total: ~55%
EMEA C&R: ~30%
UK DI: 66%
EMEA DI: ~70%
UK EPRM: 0% (/2)
EMEA EPRM: ~40%
Will ask around for confirmation and more data - this is all hearsay.
really dependent on group to group. Most EMEA teams had loads of interns this year (10-16).
FIG 50%
What’s EPRM?
Energy Power Renewables Metals
I believe its called Natural Resources now though
EMEA Tech 70%
What is good about this
they had 110 interns in the London office? or is this whole EMEA
LDN office. Its in between 100 and 110. Rough figures. Barely any SAs in regional offices they do OCs
Curious about Citi.
Heard lower conversion rates this time but always had 80-90% last years
It hasn't been that high since 2021
Need MS & Citi Numbers
MS were terrible
Hiring freeze? Heard some whispers about that
Any indication of general %
curious to here DB's return rates. Seems like they are just giving anybody return's over there.
The calibre of the 2026 analyst class seems to be lower than past years
?
75-80%

What about Barclays, EVR and HL
Judging from Linkedin, Barclays very very high
heard Barclays was medium ish but their class was big so headcount needed for FT is still small
HL v high, 90% for M&A with the main lower one in Consumer for 1/3. RX was ~80%
EVR ~75%
Very high this year
Not sure why there's MS on this – have verified this with multiple people, ~70-75% is the consensus
MM around 50%
In comparison to previous years, returns have been much lower
that is not helpful at all pal
Just name the firm. No one is going to discover who you are
BofA?
Lower than prior years, don’t know exact %
Pretty sure Citi was extremely high again, you have to honestly be exceptionally awful not to get a return.
Weren’t their spring conversions to summer extremely high too? Basically you’re set if you get a spring week
50% spring to summer conversion last year
Not correct.
Returns will be lower across the board compared to the past. Attrition is much lower these days as PEs are struggling to raise funds / exit investments, which is reflected in their hiring needs which trickles back to allocation for grads in IBs.
It would be nice to know Lazard
40-50%
PJT c. 70%
Heard it was closer to +90%
Citi ~70%
BlackRock?
UBS ~ 50-60%, very dependent on group
BUMP
any update on BofA?
Laz capped at 40%
Alantra?
Friend interned but rejected return, final years converted.
