London SA and FT Class Sizes
I’m curious to know how big London SA and full time class sizes are for Markets/S&T across banks. I saw some figures for IBD on class sizes on here and was wondering how S&T compares. Would also be interested if anyone has data on prop shops or HFs with London SA programs.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific data provided in the knowledge base regarding London SA and full-time class sizes for Markets/S&T or quant shops. However, there are some general insights on class sizes for other regions and divisions, such as IBD, which might give a rough idea of trends. For example, JPM's 2020 S&T summer analyst class in New York was 140, with breakdowns across trading, sales, and research roles.
If you're looking for London-specific data, it might be worth exploring threads or reaching out to contributors on WSO who have experience in the London market. I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?
FT class of around 25 for most bbs give or take. JPM and GS a bit bigger depending on the year. SA class varies, like Bofa have a smaller class and give out FT offers to basically everyone whereas someone like MS usually have a class of about 50 but will have a return rate of 50% (or worse) other banks somewhere in the middle.
I’d say for HF & Prop, probably around 40/50 in Hf and 100 in Prop, this is for front office quant roles, note that HF id say have 60-70% return offer rate whereas closer to 40-50% in Quant shops.
Just graduated, went to top school so know someone in every firm pretty much.
There are also interesting Quant roles in banks but those are tougher to categorize since a Quant Strat that works in IBD/Risk is obvs not in the same position as someone working in electronic/Systematic MM/QIS
Any specific data points for quant? I was under the impression class sizes are 50 combined for trading and research (based on info of three firms).
Would be particularly interested in data for Mako, QRT and G-research.
