Has Recruiting For Summer 2024 (Sophomore) Already Wrapped Up? (Canada)

I've heard conflicting things ranging from "90% of applications haven't even released yet" to "All the kids I know already signed offers" for 2024 summer as a sophomore. Can someone more knowledgable here provide some objective insight? 

P.S. Not talking exclusively IB or buy-side, just sophomore finance roles in general.

If you’re at Laurier or a school with a co-op program - there’s still a lot left on the table for sophomore stuff.

Otherwise, a lot of the IB, PE, etc roles are gone and you’ll have to dig around and see what’s available - can’t provide much clarity here but hopefully someone else can.

 

Sophomore here but I think its a bit of both. I know WF is in the process of their sophomore program recruitment. Not sure about others but have heard some are yet to open.

Idk, but I think these accelerated timelines are absolutely ridiculous. At my school, we only start learning finance in second year first semester. The fact most offers are out gives a clear advantage to kids who were always set on IB or have family in the industry. Furthermore, there is an immense pressure to get something as a sophomore before Christmas cause then summer 2025 starts! I feel like I’m constantly behind and I go to Queens/Ivey. I can’t even imagine how kids at non targets feel. It also does not help that the economy is bad and firms are giving out fewer offers. Firms that used to hire second years are now exclusively for third years. This whole situation is making me depressed.
