Financial Times Article on On-Cycle Recruitment
Interesting details in here about JP Morgan issuing warnings to its incoming analysts. Curious if people think we'll really see on-cycle get pushed back or fundamentally changed in the coming years.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, there have been discussions about changes in on-cycle recruitment processes. For instance, some banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have previously adjusted their recruiting timelines, moving away from sophomore-year recruiting and returning to a more traditional junior-year timeline. This shift was seen as a response to the negative effects of overly early recruiting, such as limited data points on candidates and rushed decision-making.
However, while there are calls for fundamental changes, the overall process remains highly competitive and fast-paced. Some firms, like Blackstone, have even explored diversifying their hiring models, focusing more on internal promotions and less on external IB talent. Whether these adjustments will lead to a broader industry shift or just isolated changes remains to be seen.

Just read it, makes sense for it to get pushed back but again it only takes one. How are people still feeling for the first week of June?
