Which firms are finished recruiting (full time)?

Aiming to figure out which firms have finished recruiting for full time investment banking and which ones are still on-going. I'd greatly appreciate it if people could let me know if they have solid knowledge that any of these firms are done recruiting for full-time IB:

Goldman
Morgan Stanley
J.P. Morgan
Credit Suisse
Blackstone
Deutsche Bank
Citi
Barclays
UBS
Wells Fargo (Think they are done?)
Houlihan Lokey
Perella Weinberg
Moelis
Greenhill
Evercore
Lazard
William Blair
Centerview
Baird
Jefferies
Rothschild NY
Nomura
Cantor Fitzgerald

Think it would be useful to develop a comprehensive list for everyone, thanks!

William Blair is done looking at apps (got taken down from our OCR site a week ago as they're not interviewing anyone), and I'm reasonably sure BAML is too.

WF already had all the first rounds and final round invitations are out. I have no fact, but heard GS class is filled. MS has a Superday tom (2nd one) and I also spoke to a 2nd year that said they will be doing no OCR. With that said it sounds like if you have not been contacted by either of the firms that it will be nearly impossible to get into the process, correct me if I am wrong though

 

As said, WF, GS, MS are done. If you don't have an app in right now with a bank, you're probably too late. JPM is not doing FT recruiting outside of accelerated. Barclays and DB are currently sending out invitations for superdays and 1st rounds. I haven't heard anything from Citi, so I'm not sure where they stand.

In your case, I would try to keep networking and get your resume submitted internally. Most banks are under-hiring the first go around, then extending offers to people on the waiting list. I had a friend who got wait listed until May then was offered to start in July. Be patient and keep at it.

DB had a superday today.

Wow, a lot of this stuff is not true.

Goldman - not done. I know at least 1 coverage group still has a spot and (maybe) their product groups have 1 or 2 spots. Morgan Stanley - will schedule more superdays for candidates later this month. Credit Suisse - not sure but pretty sure not full yet Blackstone - done. Citi - conducting interviews as needed non-OCR Barclays - doing OCR at my school Moelis - doing OCR at my school Greenhill - recruiting non-OCR at my school Evercore - doing OCR at my school Lazard - MM is doing OCR at my school. Regular advisory is accepting apps as well Centerview - conducting interviews right now Rothschild NY - doing OCR right now

 

FWIW, Lazard just recently put up a few spots for (what looks like) single-spot openings in some groups in the NY office, as well as openings for their Chicago office. I know their Chicago office is essentially looking to triple the size of their Analyst class from 3ish to about 9 1st, 2nd and Senior Analysts. But to echo what NYKnicks92 said, Moelis, EVR, Laz, Centerview and Rothschild are all doing OCR at my school too. Pretty sure resume drops close Thursday? night
