Still A Chance?

Hey guys,

Curious if you guys know which firms are still waiting to give out first rounds and where it is pointless to keep trying.

Obviously GS/MS/BAML etc. it is too late to try and network to receive a first round, they are already given out. But what about places like Barclays/CS/RBC/HSBC?

If someone could fill me in on which places I should start turning my attention to, in order to maximize my chances of getting invited to an interview it would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I'm looking at local boutiques at this point. Try to network and get informationals. Sometimes these boutiques have less rigid recruitment cycle
