Which banks have a 2yr analyst prorgramme instead of 3?

Would be interested to know which banks offer a 2 year analyst programme. Some like Centerview / Lazard said their analyst programmes are 3 years and that seems pretty long.

For London, as far as I know, banks with 2 year programs are: GS MS BAML DB

Caveat is that time to VP is not likely to be shorter than banks with 3 year programs

JPM, CS and Citi are historically 3 years, but not sure if this has changed in the past year (someone above mentioned JP is 2 years now but not sure about this). Barclays and UBS I believe are on calendar year cycles and so are effectively 2.5 years. Think most EBs and MMs are 3 years.

 

Do most people recruit on cycle and leave before starting the third year or do a decent amount leave after the third year? Also would you know the amount of analysts that typically do A2A in each class?

 

Banks like Greentech and FT Partners have recently shifted to 2 year analyst programs. Good move but is it enough...

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
