EVERYWHERE Public Finance 2021 SA

Let's get a thread going for all 2021 Public Finance SA roles. It's hard to keep up with every single 21SA thread and nitpicking for public finance, so I thought It'd be a good idea to make one of our own. It'd be great if anyone could post insight for any municipal/public finance IB groups that are currently open/recruiting.

Anyone hear back from Morgan? Also what should we prep for Pub fin interviews?

 

anyone know if Barclays or JPM is done with recruiting? Only reason I ask is cause on other 2021 forums everyone talks about how offers are already going out. I assume public finance has its own process later on?

No apps for UBS PubFin open yet, just "global banking." RBC has had Muni Finance role open since LAST summer (yes, for 2021) and don't know where they are at yet in the process.
