I'm wondering if anyone could provide a list, or even a few names, of middle-market banks that open up in the Summer and Fall of this year. I'm frankly not knowledgeable on the time-lines, and it seems that most of the current posts regarding recruiting focus on the BB's/EB's. Would sincerely appreciate any input.
Thanks!

Please give SBs, thank you.
GCA, Miller Buckfire, AGC, BNP, Stifel, MUFG, Incentrum, Macquarie, Nomura, WF, PJT, CVP, Barc, CS, Truist, Raymond James, Sagent Advisors, Sage llc, Stephens, Harris Williams, TD Securities, Santander, Needham & co, PNC, SocGen, Bofa, BMO?, Mizuho?, DC Advisory, Cowan, PJ Solomon?, Ducera, Oppenheimer?, HSBC, UBS, DB?, a few others I'm forgetting but I can update if y’all want me to
Note: ? Means they may have nontarget recruiting left as well or I have no idea (DB, Oppenheimer)
Appreciate this write up, SB'd. For anyone else that might be viewing this thread, CS, BMO, and DB have all closed at my East Coast target. Oppenheimer and BofA I can confirm are in the Fall. Mizuho, DC Advisory, and PJ Solomon are currently open. I didn't realize Sagent was still in business.
Lincoln usually runs a later process but appears to have gone earlier this year.
Interviewed with PJT Boston, Aeris and Shea (both Boston MM firms) in the fall last cycle so would assume they’re following a similar schedule this time around
It seems like more than a few banks have pushed up their timelines from last year. Not familiar with the Boston area firms, so could still very well be the case this year. Thanks for the input!
Aeris went earlier this cycle unfortunately. Not sure about Shea
