Late Full-Time Recruiting

So I haven't had much luck with full-time recruiting so far (5 superdays, 0 offers) and it's the new year now. Do BBs/MMs have another round of recruiting in the spring, especially considering market conditions are picking up? Also, do you guys think unknown boutiques are still hiring as well right now (or is it too early?)

Short answer: No except for random off-cycle shit Long answer: There was actually a post on here from guys looking to do a spring hiring thing but from the way they put it, it seems like spring FT efforts will be minimal. I wouldn't get your hopes up, you might have to settle for something like consulting.

 

I wouldn't stop trying - step your networking game up (cold e-mailing/calling) and try the smaller shops, you can always lateral in the future. You've had 5 super days so your resume must be pretty good - I suspect boutiques would be responsive to your calling. By the way, usually banks hire a little beyond their need during the recruitment process in case things pick up, so don't just sit still hoping for a position to open up.

Good luck
