Investment Banking SA Woes

Hi all! I was simply wondering: HOW screwed is someone for a next year SA position if they haven't gotten any hits so far? It's been getting quite worrisome to the point where I'm considering recruiting for consulting at this point. What bank are still hiring?

Stay on the grind! There are still some groups still recruiting. I know Citi SF isn’t kicking their process off until the fall and I think Wells recently started? Could be wrong but is worth looking into.

I would probably be a bit worried at this point especially if I hadn’t received any first rounds—Make sure your resume is perfect and that you are still networking.

There are definitely still banking opportunities out there, but it might be a good idea to start looking into other options as well.
