London SA2025 Return Offer Rate (Better than the US?)

Hi everyone, just wanted to know if conversion rates for IBD in London will be badly affected by the tariffs? What's it looking like at your banks? Please provide any insight if you can. 

What's it looking like for BB vs MM?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific data in the knowledge base about London SA2025 return offer rates or the direct impact of tariffs on these rates. However, general trends suggest that return offer rates can vary significantly between regions, banks, and even specific groups within banks.

For BB (Bulge Bracket) banks, return offer rates are typically higher due to their larger deal flow and resources. MM (Middle Market) banks may have slightly lower rates, as their hiring needs are more closely tied to specific deal flow and market conditions.

If you're looking for more precise insights, it might be worth checking recent threads or reports on WSO that focus on London-specific trends or reaching out to professionals in the region for updated information.

MM historically had smaller intern classes but higher return offer rates, right?

 

London returns are always worse than US because multiple internships are more normal here
