Current S&T Environment

Hi everyone, a new user here, currently in senior year at a Canadian target university.

Done the rounds of networking and started applying to a bunch of rotational S&T programs in Canada and abroad. From the info I've gathered so far, it seems like this is a pretty good recruiting year for people looking to break into S&T. From what I've heard so far,

BMO: 8 (canada-wide)
RBC: 15 (canada-wide)
HSBC: 5? (they're expanding in canada apparently)

Are these regular annual class sizes? People currently working there, are the desks being short-staffed currently? Does anyone else have projected class numbers for other BB's?

On another note, got a first round interview for BMO tomorrow. Any last-min tips?

 

Maybe Canada is hiring, but trying to break into S&T in the US this year is going to be almost impossible. It's bad all around, everyone over hired SA, but if I was looking, I would want to be in banking. They seem to have it less bad.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

i just heard 10 at TD.

but i heard it's still pretty bad on bay st. overall since most of the guys are only getting in thru some sort of connection/angle. only a small % seems to be getting in on merit/experience.
