Idk how I always end up talking about this but SA 2025 is off to a HOT start as we approach the new year.
RBC, HL, Roth, and DB (lmao) all released apps alongside a few other smaller boutiques.
Just a strong PSA to all the youngins looking to get their feet wet in banking. Back in my day, this was a post-spring break blackout kinda problem to deal with.

Gl bois. Word is EVR is opening soon as well

Why do you post everywhere?
Can anyone confirm Ares wrapping up non-diverse before Christmas?
Has Ares anything officially started?
Heard Ares was wrapping up process before christmas, no idea if its diverse or non-diverse. This is all from people below my year who are recruiting SA 2025 so its possible that they are exaggerating
Ares just finished SA 2024 recruiting. SA 2025 recruiting hasn't started yet.
I'm still doing BB interviews for SA 2024 in London and US has started for 2025 already wtf
Yeah same this is actually insane to me. London is competitive but US seems to be a diff world
It's actually less competitive numbers wise it's just hyper accelerated for some reason. Probably since 4 year degrees are standard there
Cant see how London can accelerate given that 3 year programs are the norm for uni
Do you know the best way to track all of the firms releasing applications? It seems a little difficult sometimes to figure out which firms have already released IB apps.
