SA 2013

So monkeys,

The most painful season of IB recruiting has arrived for fellow juniors. I was wondering how many of you have actually received any offers from BB's for an SA position, particularly on the west coast.

Just wondering where everybody is currently at and best of luck to all.

West coast non-target here.

Have interviews next month with one MM, and two boutiques for IBD. Will start a winter/spring intern position at a major west-coast AM firm in two weeks.

West coast schools that have OCR wont start til later this month. the OP here either has an offer or is just jumping the gun to star the thread. BBs have necessarily started interviews yet. MMs (or the respectable ones at least- Jefferies, Houlihan, Guggenheim, HW etc.) will do it the same time as well. Elite boutiques (Moelis, Lazard, Evercore etc.) generally do it the same time as BBs while no-name boutiques are all over the place.

The Sour Patch Kid2 MM offers, but I decided to go for consulting instead.

Nothing short of everything will really do.
 

top BBs likely selected all their kids for interviews by now. it was earlier here (east coast target) than it was last year. resume drop was dec 2 as opposed to jan 22 (for 2012 SA)

couchyalthough target deadlines are later this month, my guess is most non-target deadlines have already passed.

Can anyone confirm this? I was talking to a few of my connects at BBs and they had no idea that deadlines would be this early this year...
