Does anyone know what the process is for how groups get junior banker headcount allocated to them?
For example:
-- Do a certain number get allocated to groups them based on the # of MDs in the group (i.e. X analysts/associates per MD)?
-- Is it based on projected revenue or deal count (i.e. this group is projected to do $X million in fees and/or Y number of deals this year so we give them Z analysts/associates)?
-- Do groups get a budget and can have whatever combination of bankers at various levels they can afford to pay (i.e. 2 VPs at $400, 3 Associates @ $300 and 4 Analysts @ $200 vs. some other combination like 4 VPs @ $400, 1 Associate @ $300 and 3 analysts @ $200)?
-- Some combination of the above or something totally different?
I have no idea which, if any, of these approaches are used. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Also interested to know

Very interested as well! I'm very curious on who has the say to increase analyst class sizes etc. For example at places like Moelis it's easy -> Just raise the class size by 10-20% and a bunch of the problems are solved
There is an ideal range for the ratio of junior resources (VP and below) to senior resources, and this range will vary by group and bank. Believe it or not, VPs are still considered juniors and bucketed with associates and analysts. In banking, the distinction is between the revenue generators and everyone else (supporting resources). At least that's how headcount works at my bank.
