No offer SA 2025
I go to a semi target and have a good gpa relatively good resume. I could not secure an offer for SA 2025. What should I do now, and what roles or banks can I target. How do I find out which BB or even MM do a second wave of recruiting, and how do I get myself into those processes.

Similar situation. Was able to get an internship at real estate investment firm for this summer, but nothing for next (in terms of IB). I want to hopefully end up in cd/pe/vc but don't know if I will be behind from a lack of deal reps you typically get in IB. Ideally would like to get those reps before going to buyside, but unsure how to make that happen out of undergrad. Heard I could try to leverage RE internship, but unsure if RE is for me. I feel like IB is better place to start and would give me more options down the road
do you know if any firms open or re-open applications in the fall for 2025SA
I don't think SA 2025 recruiting is over yet... You can keep trying and recruiting for smaller/local firms and I know some banks start their application cycles later than others.
Which banks?
Idk if it’s the same from when I recruited back in 2022 but Macquarie and Stephens started their recruiting in July/August. Be sure to check on your small regional IB firms too
Stephens, Clearsight, Marathon Capital and so much more
Following, in the same boat :(
Same

When did you start applying? Did you cast a wide net?
Asking for personal use.
Started applying in January 24. Casted a huge net, but nothing landed. I do not know what to do now, as most VC/PE/AM/S&T roles are now all filled up for 2025.
same, it's really rough right now. i swear i am on linkedin every day looking for any new postings but there is nothing. i've decided to think about consulting recruiting but it's really not what i wanted to do.
the market is also not great so i think companies are hiring less - two of the companies that do a decent amt of recruiting from my school did not take as many students this past year. i am hoping maybe things are better for full time at this point.
If you do not do consulting. What are you planning on doing. Do you think you have a suitable resume for consulting recruiting?
Majority of processes are likely fairly wrapped up by now, will likely have some one-off slots open up as people renege. Network with connections you have at banks in case something does open up, apply to everything, and start reaching out to more regional shops. These places often have less structured hiring processes and may offer off cycle opportunities.
Look for smaller shops that work in the product group you like, it’ll be much easier to try to recruit FT for the EB/BBs with relevant experience and an idea of what you want to do. Plus if you enjoy the smaller shop you can stay on and try to lateral after 1/2 years professionally.
