Now that more and more people are leaving finance roles and are moving into more comfortable (WLB) positions, are non-targets’ chances of winning BB roles higher? I’m a first year CUNY Baruch student, finance major.

Don't think so. I went through a pre-covid superday, and besides for the perks (hotel, dinner), the interviews were more or less the same. Their is still an overwhelming advantage for those that attend target schools, but the top students at non-targets will usually end up with an offer despite it
Yes and no. As someone who attends a T25 Liberal Arts college I have seen a higher rate of placement at top BBs this year for IB, S&T and AM. I landed an amazing placement as well. So I am not sure if its BB's looking more for Non-Targets or zoom helping out with being able to look up things on the spot.
it made it easier for the laterals, but not easier for UG recruitment.
What’s UG? Laterals?
UG is undergraduate. So recruitment was easier for people looking to switch jobs and work IB, but not that much easier for undergrads looking to recruit for summer analyst positions. It did make it slightly easier for college seniors to go into IB (for those who weren't given a return offer or who didn't do an internship in IB).
