US NY FT Recruiting

Hello everyone,

Quick question, I know in Europe that a majority of FT analyst hires are converted SAs.

Is it the same in NYC? Would I have much of a chance applying for FT without having done a SA with the bank?

Thank you!

So by and far, full time recruiting at bulge brackets are pretty much done through the intern class. However, significant amount of boutiques, hedge funds, and private equity firms recruit full time and they don't typically take summer interns. I was really surprised to see the roster of OCR stuff at my school.
