Impact of COVID on Investment Banking Associate recruting

Hey guys,

With investment banking events being mostly virtual this fall and with a lot of foreign citizen's currently not being able to obtain visas, is there going to be a dramatic change in Investment Banking recruiting? Or are banks just going to adjust and bring in smaller #'s of summer associates?

Curious as to what you all think COVID and visa restrictions are going to do to the associate recruiting process.

 

Investment banking will move online, we will communicate with each other via a VR office, play golf with clients using VR and motion control. No visa needed.

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
