2022 INVESTMENT BANKING FULL-TIME RECRUITING THREAD
Haven't seen a thread entirely dedicated to keeping each other posted on full-time opportunities. So far I've seen openings for JPM and Qatalyst, assuming there will be a few more in the coming months and some in fall. Feel free to throw what you know on the discussion regarding timeline or openings

Re-recruiting in an MBA for a FT role is generally August - September right?
Yep, you’d typically start re-recruiting as soon as your internship ends or in the last 1-2 weeks. It tends to be more alumni/network driven and a more entrepreneurial process.
Thanks, there's not too much info on the process out there.
Qatalyst link?
I saw Qatalyst opening on Handshake, not sure if available to everyone or just some schools tbh
It's just some schools

When do most interviews happen for FT? I imagine August - September?
Worked in IB summer 2019 (got return) and FT recruited for 2020 roles. Interviews/soft-networking phone calls happen throughout the summer with unofficial first-rounds happening in the end of July, beginning of Aug. If you are not in the "process" with a group at the end of July, you likely aren't going to get the lateral offer.
Superday schedules depend on if the group you are trying to lateral to has open spots or is waiting to see if their kids will accept the returns and come back. If the former, interviews happen the week after the internship ends with FT offers signed by week end (2nd week of Aug). If the latter, superdays likely drag on 2-3 weeks towards the end of Aug which will force you to renege, decline your return offer, or accept your return offer if you aren't confident.
Appreciate the detailed response - did you explicitly mention you were interested in FT opportunities when reaching out to analysts at other banks?

Anyone heard from JPM after sending application?
I haven't heard anything after submitting Pymetrics & Hirevue four days ago. Btw I never heard anything at all from JPM after submitting those things for SA last year either
Didn’t get pymetrics or hirevue but I did submit Friday evening.
Lmao didn’t get a single word in response either. Not bothering to apply this year
Shouldn’t be leaking this, but expect EVR to hire a healthy amount for fulltime. I’ll post the timeline here when I know for sure what it is. Network now though
Huge thanks for sharing. Why such a healthy amount/is that just for industrials?
At least as far as I believe my flair is for industry-specific rather than industrials. Sorry for any confusion!
When do apps open?
I would honestly expect another hiring wave in 6-8 months too. I think a lot of banks are going to re evaluate mid year and realize that they need more bodies.
Any update on this?
Is this still happening? Have had multiple people tell me they’re not sure/unlikely EVR is doing ft recruiting
bump I heard this from networking contacts as well
What is everyone's thoughts on return offer rates across the street? I'm taking my offer if I convert 100%
I think I may shop it around a bit as I'd like to trade up from a meh group in CS/UBS/DB/RBC/Jeff, but we will see whats in the cards
In my group at a BB it will be close to 100%. (the only reason it wouldn't is if an Intern deletes the drive)

Thought I would say this here but for anyone willing to consider it, definitely try to get a shot or two at Energy IB groups. Most of the groups under-hired last year due to the effects of the pandemic on O&G and have been swimming in deal flow due to the pick up in corporate M&A, as well as A&D [which, btw, has been on a tear recently]. As an anecdote, my group is looking to roughly double the class size.
Most of you don't want anything to do with energy and that's fine but I believe Energy IB might be one of the few places to have an outsized FT opportunity. Just my 2c.
+1SB. Are you based in Houston?
Yup.
Any O&G groups outside Texas?
I've seen O&G bankers work in Calgary and Colorado.
There are some groups that operate in NY but if you wanna do energy there's no better place to be in than Houston.
Hey, did some work in Power/Energy this summer and interested in O&G. Do you know what the timeline is looking like for your group?
following

I would tend to agree. If you have no banking experience for FT recruiting you probably should look into Big 4 or something else to get in.
Even this year since, banks underhired for Sa 2021 and have higher dealflow / turnover?

What are people's thoughts on FT Partners? I'm graduating in December and looking to lateral into banking (or other financial services roles) and saw they have a January 2022 start opportunity.
Talked w/ associate there yesterday, he explicitly told me analysts "can bank on working basically from 9am-2am every day" during their 2-year stint. Seems like a cool place w/ interesting clients and large deals, but it's rough for juniors
Geez... Every day as in 7 days/wk? Also, are you looking at the winter 2022 start, too, or just doing some general networking?
A friend of mine is in the interview process with FTP for Jan 2021. I would suggest to apply ASAP. Sweatshop for sure. FT is hiring a ton this year, either strong deal flow or reduce pressure for juniors.

GS app just opened, FT recruiting in LA, SLC, SF, Seattle etc but no New York
Interesting, any thoughts on why there's no NY?
Most likely because they might be waiting for their intern class to accept/reject FT offers.
NYC app is open just applied
Fully thought that they wouldn't open NYC so I already submitted my application (and applied to SLC instead fml) do you think there's any way I can change it/ indicate interest in NYC?
Is it the same as last year’s SA timeline where IB applications unofficially officially end July 15th?
Have you heard anything back
Have you heard anything back
is it possible to go from European bank ST to an American bank IB during FT (Non target as well)
Anything is possible….
No sarcasm intended. If you network with enough people you will at least get interview opportunities
Possible but youll be competing against Americans. Doesnt hurt to try though

Anyone has any idea on the ft Associate recruiting time line? Or any inside scoop? Im a sell side M&A summer intern at Utilities/renewables but really interested in Industrials as well.
Thank you!

formal apps opening in July?
What do people think about lateraling from a boutique/MM to a BB for FT analyst next year? I know usually the BB kids just shuffle around, is it a waste for a boutique/MM person to apply to BBs?
following
Doesnt hurt to try. Youll be competing with people at other BBs, but doesnt mean you cant get an offer. You likely wont get a top group, but if youre not picky it’s definitely possible

JPM and GS 2022 FT applications open. Who else?
If I'm still in the middle of my SA stint at another large bank, can it leak out in any way that I applied for FT positions at other banks? Don't want my chances of a return offer to get screwed but I also don't want to miss out on opps.
Also curious
For sure. The question is whether they care or not. If my buddy at a different bank saw an application from someone at my bank, they’d definitely tell me. I personally wouldnt care though, but others might
gotcha thanks for the response, what would you suggest I do then? I don't want to wait until August for everything with applications right now but I also want to show my current team I'm committed.

Guggenheim Partners applications open. 5 days ago.
Hi, I'm a Vietnamese graduating from a non-target university in the US with 1+ years experience working in M&A investment banking boutique in Vietnam. I plan to apply for a Singaporean investment banking position in 1 year (so totally 2+ years working experience in IB Vietnam). I am taking the first steps in prepping myself for the Singapore application. Can you help guide me through the steps I need to take to prepare for such applications? What would be my chances of getting accepted? What would be my angles of breaking into SG IB? I see most of the comments are regarding fresh grad applying but not so much about 2+ year-Vietnam-IB Analyst making the jump to SG. Thank you very much!
Bump
Was anyone else not asked for the group preferences for JPM?
haven’t gotten it either
How many people did?
Anyone hear back after JPM Hirevue? Applied for ER and Sales
Haven't submitted my application to JPM yet... Does it matter when I do? Looks like the deadline isn't for awhile.
I don't see a competitive advantage in waiting...
I would submit asap...no real benefits to waiting, but could be risks imo. Adding in any intern experience bullets won't do much to move you forward past screening tbh
Anyone have any word on Houlihan Lokey/BMO/RBC?

Have you heard anything yet?
Nah nothing bro. Not even a hirevue lmao
Got JPM group preference questionnaire around 12hrs after submitting hirevue
I did as well, tbh I'm skeptical that it means anything. I've seen too many ppl get it to believe anything
True. Hopefully a good sign though considering the people above said they completed the initial task and didn’t get a response as quickly. But idk
anyone know when CS opens? have spoken to some ppl there but they didn't know

William Blair Open.
can OP edit list lol
Not letting me edit idk why
