I've seen that Goldman is open and JPM was open and then closed, what have people heard? Should we start networking now or is it too early? Any insight or advice is appreciate or if anyone has heard anything they think will be helpful.

Anything open rn doesn't matter. This process kicks off once the internship ends and then finishes within the month. I did it last year from non-IB to BB/EB IB, and all my applications/chats happened in quick succession near the end of the internship(like 1-2 weeks out)
This is really helpful, I appreciate the insight. Would you say that it's important to network now even though there is still another 1-1.5 months before these internships end? What would you recommend I do in the mean time, and what was the interview process like for you? Thank you again for your time and advice.
what role were you in for your internship? was it something in consulting or along those lines
Bump, echo the question above. I don't know anyone at all with a lot of the major banks, both BB and EB, so how would you recommend I start, or where should I start? Thinking I probably need to start now and get people to talk. I tried reaching out to people I spoke with for internships, but no response, and those that did told me that they are not hiring at least for now so I'm lost on how to start and when or if it's too early or too late with these applications already opening up.
Super helpful. Do you think its worth it to network hard now, or save it for when internships end. Not sure bc ik nobody knows how many spots they'll have so dk if i should be doing most of my networking now or 1-2 weeks out from internship end.
Wait until u get ur return. The over networking thing that u do for SA doesn’t matter as much for FT.

I’m a 2023 grad with a year of Valuation Advisory experience under my belt. Is 2025 FT recruiting a feasible path for me?
No. It’s for college kids only, you would apply to experienced analyst roles
Is there a reason why firms won’t consider someone with 1 year of relevant full time experience (2 years by the time of start date)? If I were to be hired through lateral recruitment, I’d start as Analyst 1 anyways given no IB experience.
Well, what about someone who graduated in May 2024 and is going to start working in October in a non-finance role?
