The bank/group I'm working at next summer (think BB / top group) historically has had very high return rates (90 to 100%), but this year has had a lot of cuts (ROs dropping down to 60-70%).
However, it seems the firm/group may have overhired, and my class and group are quite a lot smaller than the 2026 cohort, so is it possible that ROs may spike back up to historical figures?
