Any idea how many 1st year analysts are recruited for full time positions each year. I am very interested in healthcare, and want to get involved in corp. finance.

FYI, cain brothers typically takes people with at least one year of experience. I interviewed there....they don't have a training program, thus they like guys who can hit the ground running. Their firm is very small so hiring is done on a need based, case by case situation.
PapaJohns is right. Recruiting at CB is done on a need based. Since CB usually hires someone with banking experience, they also test you on a LBO model as the final step, plus an interview with the CEO of the firm.
Leerink was looking for ONE 1st year analyst for their SF office. Don't know about CB..
that's about right. because they hired me for the fall and last time i checked i'm still the only FY FT hire.
why would an analyst leave a BB HC group to work for CB or LS? is the pay much better? it seems like a downgrade...
I would assume its all relative. At a BB you will be confined to a specific service within the healthcare industry; however, at a LS/CB you have the ability to work in a variety of capacities.
I interviewed with Leerink IBD and my interviewer said they were looking for a small first-year analyst class. He said they were targeting "about 10" incoming analysts to start this summer, but I don't know how reliable his estimate was. They did take one for FT and one SA from my school.
