What banks consistently hire laterals / hire 'more' FT

Hey y'all,

Junior going into my final internship here. Unfortunately, recruiting for IB went tits up for me, but I managed to land a pretty good role (TAS / FDD at B4). I know that with the tariffs and everything going around, this is not going to be an exact science and it might be radically different this year, but as per the title, which banks (EB / BB/ MM) usually hire a fair amount of laterals and external FT (not from their intern class)? I know Jef is one, are there any other notable firms?

Would love any help.

At Citi any new FT hires that didnt SA is done on a group-by-group basis. There are no official postings and is done exclusively through networking. I've heard of M&A, Industrials, Power, and Consumer all hiring FT
