What banks take more summer analysts than they can give out full time offers to?

For banks that take more than they can give FTOs to, I've heard GS.

For banks that only take as many as they can give FTOs to, I've heard MS, DB, and maybe Citi?

Are these accurate? Where would the other banks fall.`

From what I remember during my recruiting sessions:

Citi, Barclays, and RBC all said they DON'T overhire (I also can't remember which EBs, but I think most of them that I talked to (EVR, MoCo, PWP, CVR) said there's a spot for everyone)

GS, DB, and MS never mentioned anything, which would lead me to believe they might overhire, but based on talking to friends, I think it can be very group dependent.

 

any ideas which groups GS under hires or hires just right? or which groups overhire (so i can avoid)... i think GS TMT overhires?

 

baml gave 85%+ return offers in summer 2019 but historically has been much lower(think summer 18, 17, 16 etc)

 

I am not even sure the banks know FT headcount when they hire interns. Seeing as some of these interns are hired a year + ahead of summer start date for internships, banks don't know headcount until the end of internships.

Some banks might try to get close to not overhiring, but headcount needs change a lot.

 

exactly.. interns get offers with the capacity at THE TIME to hire them. Business needs change vastly YoY, that's why sometimes groups don't have room after.

Interns: I was in your shoes recently, and don't blame you thinking about offer rates, BUT don't. I can tell you without a doubt, if you crush it, barring extenuating circumstances, you'll have an offer. Maybe not in the same group, but you will. Of course, sometimes shit happens, but for the most part, they want to hire you. Control what you can control, and go crush it this summer.

 

Understand what you’re saying but being that most internships are now virtual it’ll be harder for interns to stand out — and harder for firms to evaluate us on their end.

 

CS offer rates are usually >90% across the board. Cool culture, not very cutthroat

 

That's awesome to hear. Do you by any chance know about the sophomore intern return offer rate? I'm assuming unless you really fuck up, you're basically guaranteed a return offer right?
