Are LBS placements good again?

Was looking through 2026 summers and seems like even with the increased cohort size there is a notable step up relative to the past few years. Lots of BB/EB, Strong MM, and some buyside. Is the market picking up or is LBS doing better?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available in the dataset about LBS placements for 2026 summers or a detailed comparison to past years. If you're noticing trends like increased placements at BB/EB, strong MM, and buyside roles, it could be due to a combination of market recovery and LBS improving its placement strategies. However, without explicit data in the context, it's hard to confirm the exact reasons.

I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?
