What will burnout rates look like for first-years hitting the desk. Class of 2021.

Given that many experienced hires are leaving in a bit, one of the reasons for high burnout this past year was first year class of 2020 not being able to get up to speed as quickly.

With less people around to train this new wave of undergrads joining this fall, will more analysts quit this year compared to january 2020.

Edit: Also - how are current first years on the desk doing right now?

You are welcome. Good luck! Personally I’m impressed by these kids who graduated college now and were able to make it through and do well in a fairly non-standard and difficult environment relative to the past few years potentially. Hopefully that means this class will be stronger than the ones before overall. Either way good luck again :)

 

Current first year dipping immediately after bonus. I think it's going to be hard for the new incoming class; there will be very few senior analysts in my team (not including laterals of various quality) to bring them up to speed on not just corporate finance / Excel / PPT but also the intricate internal processes. We've even had VPs outright drop the ball because they didn't know how committees worked and didn't have another VP to look out of them.

 

Can you explain what led you to plan on dipping immediately after bonus, and also is your entire first year class also leaving?

Edit: Reason is because I'm in training as a first year right now and a bit worried about what will happen when staffings come

 

^Second this. Leaving in the next several months. Not only are '21 Analysts coming in with a virtual summer 2020 experience, but they're dealing with 2020 analysts who are more jaded than typical first years finishing up due to the toxic ramp-up period from last year. The best thing a bank (or your group) can do is to have over compensated with hiring a bunch of laterals hoping for the best.
