SA 2020 class sizes

Curious if anyone has any input on the size of classes for SA in 2020. Given all the talk from the BBs about a rescission, did banks hire a smaller class than in 2019?

BB: Higher, same, or lower
EB: Higher, same, or lower
Large MM: Higher, same, or lower
Small MM: Higher, same, or lower

My perception is that the smaller MM/regional banks may have actually been seeing an uptick in deal flow and may have increased their 2020 SA class. Having talked to some MDs at EBs, it sounds like their class size may be smaller than normal from some slowed deal flow this summer, and given that the BBs have been driving this fear, I would think they have smaller classes. Could anyone opine on the effect of the 2020 SA size on FT recruiting? Share if you have any info either way.

 

Mid-tier BB - Both SA and Off-Cycle classes will be larger. Pretty good expectations for the upcoming year

 

Do you know what the actual size of a summer analyst/analyst IBD class looks like at a MS/GS/JPM?

 

Anyone know the sizes of SA for S&t usually at BB?

 

Can anyone comment on how class sizes will affect full time % this summer? Have heard of some firms contracting in anticipation (both BBs and EBs) for a downturn but others expanding.

 

1) How does anyone have this information other than HR and a few analysts on core recruiting teams?

2) How is this information even relevant as a prospective? Focus should be on getting a seat not how many seats there are open...
