Brief

Iain Dunning responds to complaints about 'IB-ification' by stating his group will avoid exploding intern offers and will post openings in roughly one month. He warns that some firms are already handing out QR intern offers for summer 2027, tells candidates not to be pressured, and offers early conversations for rising juniors seeking HRT offers.

Lot of QTs about "IB-ification" and how uncool that is and I agree. We've been resisting this by not giving intern candidates exploding offers and will continue to resist it. Thanks to everyone who reached out in this situation. Our listings will go up in a month or so.

Heard that some firms already making QR intern offers for summer 2027. I'd suggest if you're in that situation, first of all don't let them pressure you. Second, if you're a "rising junior" and you want an HRT offer, get in touch. Willing to talk early for exceptional candidates.
