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.

What places have you had hirevues/SD's for?

Is morgan stanley done pub fin recruiting?
i think they’ve only sent out hirevues for public finance. fingers crossed that the process starts later than the traditional IB process
Yes, only hirevues have been sent out. Expect first rounds to happen by middle-to-late August. First offers historically start happening by mid-September. Applications were due this past Monday, so unfortunately it’s too late to submit a new app.
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?
How's UBS in the process? What about RBC?
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.
What do pub fin spots look for in a resume? Have you gotten any pubfin interviews yet, not general hirevues?
I'd say they look for similar skills seen in traditional IB -- ability to work long hours, willing to learn anything and everything, etc. It's definitely a plus if you've already had an internship in munis/DCM/FA/or at a rating agency. However, I'd say it's different in that you really need to have a genuine interest in Public Finance and have a good answer for why public finance over corp finance.
Does Stifel have a PubFin SA program?
Yes
Any idea when it opens?
