International Sponsorship Update - MUST READ.

Dear anyone who actually knows the answer,

I understand that there have been multiple forums and threads on this already and you may be saying not another thread, but this forum is really for people who actually work at the firm and can confirm this sponsorship issue. The current state of the economy and COVID situation NOT getting better despite the claimed vaccines which will take a while to actually implement have obviously crushed the job market and even more for internationals. If you can save these people time who are trying to prioritize, see the worth in networking for these firms (for 2021 recruitment only), and have an idea of which firms actually do, would appreciate any input.

From what I have seen on WSO, this is the update on the list as of now.

BB: GS, MS, CS, Barclays, DB, JPM(If anyone can actually clarify - shits been driving me crazy) EB: EVR, PJT, CTV, LAZ MM: No idea.

If you work at any firm, BB, EB, MM or even smaller boutiques and know answer, any input would seriously be appreciated. PLEASE COMMENT WITH SOURCE.
