Bloodbath out there today
Genuinely brutal. My coverage group had a lot of ppl axed including a few top performers
What? You mean full times got axed? What coverage group
Interns not full time
Imma guess Industrials?
What groups had low return rates?
Charlotte or NY? Or did both have brutal RO rates?
Both. Seems like return rates were around 50-60% across most groups.
Can confirm
What groups?
My group was 85% across all offices for SA
WF is paradise.
But only for the select few.
If you were not selected, you will spend the rest of your life howling outside the walls, wishing you could experience the beauty inside.
My group had 50% ro. Feeling really dejected .
50% in mine as well, some shocking cuts
What were the biggest differentiating factors in those that got it and those that didn’t?
Also were the top groups (FIG, industrials, etc) also as brutal?
Del
Shocking. Especially given that wells has historically had high return offer rates
Feels like I just got 275 headshotted cross map with a heavy sniper in prime Fortnite. Completely out of left field saw no signs
Feedback made no sense
It actually makes sense. I worked across their Houston office a couple of times. It's a solid office, but they have a huge intern class of ~10 people. Some better Houston banks like JPM/EVR only hire 7/8 interns
Houston office returned ~90%. this thread is referring to NY im assuming
FIG had strong returns across CLT & NY, closer to 100%
I believe only one summer associate got axed from fig
TMT?
Ok
Hi
An1 in coverage, heard from friends that return rates were 50-60% across groups and offices. Not sure what happened but seems to be a bloodbath at a lot of firms this year
Two weeks ago a lot of prospects like you are glazing WF and said they would take it over BofA/Citi
Whoever spoke a little bit negative about WF would receive bunch of ms from WF fanboys lol
Apparently work product was everything. If you made a single mistake at any point you got dinged.
heard from my friend that NYC FT is taking almost no people, don't know how WF got their headcount so wrong this year
What about TMT SF?
What did they say was the reason for no returns?
