Thanks for the opinion CZ! Would love to know what you feel about the situation that’s gonna be for the incoming classes (24 intake) who will intern in 25 summer and FT in 2026
Considering two key indicators we see seeing in the market
1) increasing m&a activity, the deal volume and quantity looks good in the first two months compare to 2023
2) most major banks predict fed cut rate starting summer 2024 till end of the year
3) lots of techs trimming fat from covid and zirp era to repriortize to their strategic growth areas
All signs are pointing toward a better recruiting season for c of 2026. How much better? That’s tbd. Definitely in banking, and consulting. Tech is too early too tell
When the companies last summer of 2025 decided the # of hc to hire for mba intern, everyone assume soft landing in inflation is unlikely. Then the market nasdaq and f500 went on a bull run.
Hope this helps! Rather than giving just "yes it will" in reddit style, I wanna provide context on optimism based on macroeconomic factors. Ping me if you wanna chat more
