SA 2025 Recruiting Update

For all the young blood out there,

Just wanted to drop an update so that no one is left behind--

So far: 

  • 28 banks have opened SA 2025 apps (most of the EBs are open with ~1 month deadlines)
  • 22 funds/buyside shops have opened SA 2025 apps (some big shops including Bx and KKR)

If you don't understand the game by now, you need to be applying ASAP bc all of these apps are rolling. You think some poor fucking analyst or HR person is gonna pay close attention to applicant #28,756? Get real. 

As always, drop a comment and give me a shout if you need help with anything--looking to give back when I can

Hello,

I just made an account here so sorry in advance for the armature hour...

I was wondering if you could expand/ if there are any more resources where I could find a list of these openings. Unfortunately, I am late to the game due to committing a lot of time to playing a sport at my school, and am struggling with finding new opportunities to submit my resume to. I was hoping that you could speak more on the topic if you don't mind because you seem to know a lot. Thanks!

 

Hey man, 

I am at a target and most OCR (info sessions, meet with analysts/associates/VP,....) wont happen till late February. This makes me a bit confused about the timeline as I am pretty new to this, would appreciate it if you could lend some insights. Also, this is a really basic question but I have sent out some outreach emails to analyst to schedule a call but none of them have responded. Should I just apply straightaway or keep on waiting ? Appreciate the input from you. Thanks !
