If you have a 3.5+ GPA, Lincoln also started recruiting a few days ago. It’s not a BB but it’s not really small either. I think Piper Sandler might also still be open.

A few shops will start recruiting during Fall and what you can do is look up boutiques in your desired area and start cold emailing their recruiting email to see if and when they are taking applications for a summer analyst.

I can probably help out here. I finally got an offer, but reached out to many HR departments to get some recruiting timelines. There are plenty of MM firms that are still recruiting. 

Firms that are open now: Solomon, Raymond James, JMP, Harris WilliamsBNP Paribas, Mesirow.

Firms that start later this summer or early fall: OppenheimerCanaccordRabobank, Stephens, Truist, D.A. Davidson, Wedbush, Santander, H.C. Wainwright, Kroll

They may not be the biggest or most prestigious firms, but some of those still carry name recognition. Still IB experience at the end of the day. Most of the ones yet to start will be opening in August or September I believe.

Edit: HW and Mesirow closed 

 

I've spoken to a couple of bankers at HSBC and it seems they aren't really involved in the loop. I was told recruiting is handled by an "outside party" and it's been ongoing throughout the past couple of months. I've heard super days started in May and will go through until July-ish but it's basically August now and I'm not sure if they have another wave. Hope this helps, I'm also not 100% sure, just what I've heard, would really appreciate it if anyone else had any insight on this.
