Still recruiting for IB SA'27 after a tumultuous recruiting cycle, and no viable options to delay grad date (CO 2028). I'm optimistic I'll eventually find something, but I wanted to seek advice from others who have gone through similar situations in prior recruiting cycles to ensure I'm doing everything right in order to get an offer.

I was in your shoes last year. Recruited through summer and really struggled, the only thing you can do is keep your head down and keep connections warm. Following this SA cycle they will begin to schedule headcount for SA 27, off cycle opportunities will arise if you stay in front of your connections. Also highly recommend identifying several LMM/boutique firms and cold outreach, you have nothing to lose.
In the exact same spot, always hear things like keep talking to you connections, but how many connections should I have and be talking to? I have maybe a couple at some MM banks, but I feel like I would have a much better shot just looking for LMM/Boutiques that haven't recruited yet. Will legit take anything at this point, so if someone had some firms that haven't yet recruited that are still possibilitys, I would love to hear them. Really struggling with what to do at this point.
in a similar spot as you, focusing more on boutiques and buy-side
Would love to message you and try and get some names if you don't mind, I have found a few as well and some buy side (GE) stuff
Can someone talk about reneg opportunities at bb, heard they exist!
Bump bro

In the same spot - would love to have a comprehensive list of LMM/Boutiques that haven't opened yet. I know some open up in Fall, and trackers like Adventis are slightly inaccurate. From my knowledge, specific groups may post, and others may reopen due to reneg/headcount. Hard to figure out which ones are still worth targeting in case of those opportunities.
