2021 Full-time Analyst Recruitment
Just got off a phone call with an alum who works for Deutsche Bank in London. She mentioned that a lot of the banks are considering skipping fall recruitment this year for full-time positions and only hire summer analysts, at least in the London office. Does anyone have any insights on what fall recruitment for FT might look like in the US or maybe Hong Kong office?
I think, for most BBs, that the recruiting timeline might get pushed into more "normal" timing, i.e., in the late summer/early fall. Banks seem to be pretty focused on restructuring their summer 2020 programs at the moment so I wouldn't expect them to surge on FT recruiting just yet.
That said, I went through this last year and it's still important to network, although no one knows any real information until the intern program ends/offers are given out, i.e., as to whether they need to bring in more talent. By networking effectively, if the firm does FT hiring, you're already on the radar as interested.
How did you balance networking before the internship ends with managing your SA position? My SA is online so I assume I'll have time to network, but I'm more worried about my current bank getting wind of my recruiting somehow and not getting a return offer or people I network with being annoyed that someone with a decent SA position is still looking around for FT opportunities.
Not the commenter above, but was in the same situation. I wouldn't really network with anyone you don't already have a close connection with (e.g. genuine friends or mentors) until you have secured a return offer. Most FT processes are towards the end of summer (late July through September) anyway, although who knows with what's going on now.
Hi! How would you recommend networking in the time being? Espesically if I don't know people in the industry prior. Thank you!

So far, I don't know of any bank (EB/MM/BB) that is open for FT 2021, but please correct me if I am wrong.
JPM & GS both have been open for a bit
OK, you are right here. Thanks for the insight.

insight from an analyst at JPM NYC office and it sounds like most spots have been filled by diversity candidates.

Correct, some full-time offers have been extended.
Correct, some full-time offers have been extended.
Curious as to whether I should contact analysts that just started (Class of 2020 graduates) or analysts who just finished their 1st year (Class of 2019 graduates)? Or does it depend on the firm?
Some 2020s have not started, contact 2019s.
Thinking about moving to NYC to network for FT (graduate May 2021). Is it even worth it with people living outside of the city (WFH) and the stigma of meeting up with people, not to mention low hiring rates?
do it
Love the enthusiasm, but any justification? lol
Understanding that this would be a unique year, does anyone have an idea of the deadlines for interns to accept return offers? Wouldn't open spots depend on how many don't accept (probably a small number on any given year and potentially smaller this year)
