What % of offers do you think have been given to SA 2021?

The title pretty much says it all. I know most BB have already done diversity recruiting, so I was wondering approximately what % of their SA classes do they usually fill up with diversity recruiting? I also know that many EB are done with recruiting, so overall do you think that 40% of the IB SA 2021 class for all banks has been filled? I am just guessing btw.

it's actualy gotten less competitive(have older siblings in IB) because there's other high paying options that don't involve staring at a screen for 80 hours a week.

 

Probably less competitive at Ivies and top targets because of lack of interest but it's a more competitive at other schools because they're fighting for half of the spots as they did a couple years ago

 

those "other schools" never had a chance 10-15 years ago

overall, it is still very hard but much easier to break in

15 years ago, finance was amazing, banks were full send in hiring. Lots of less than amazing kids were able to break in before the crash. Know several senior bankers who talk about how competitive it is now compared to when they were recruiting. I was speaking more about these past 5 years though, where the target/semi-target schools have been around the same but now a lot more kids seem to be going for IB and they are competing for half the spots because of the big banks focusing a large part of their class on diversity. At non-targets, it's always been very hard and is now as well. I was speaking more about semi-targets where 5 years ago, having a 3.6 or 3.7 and learning about IB junior year used to be the norm but now there's tons of kids going for IB having a near 4.0 and start learning about IB fall of freshman year.
