Middle market 2025SA S&T hiring timeline

I heard some banks like Piper will start their recruitment for S&T SA in September. Is that also true for other S&T desks in MM?

Based on previous WSO threads, the recruitment timeline for middle market (MM) firms can vary. Generally, MM firms tend to start their recruitment processes around September. For example, Piper Sandler might begin their recruitment for Sales & Trading (S&T) Summer Analysts (SA) in September. This timeline is often consistent across other MM firms as well.

Here are some key points to consider: - Recruitment Start: Typically begins in September. - Superdays: Often occur from late September through mid-October. - Variability: Timelines can vary slightly between different MM firms.

It's advisable to start networking and preparing early to ensure you're ready when the recruitment process begins.
