Third-quarter earnings season kicked off on Wall Street with JPMorgan and Citigroup reporting that headcount is up. In announcing third-quarter earnings, JPMorgan said headcount was up 7% over this time last year to 308,669. And the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East raises concerns about whether dealmaking — and therefore investment banking hiring — will come back next year. The investment bank, which was recently bought by Swiss rival UBS, said it currently has more than 2,000 staffers in that location. At Citi, investment banking fees were down 18% over last year, although underwriting fees have improved as companies look to sell more debt and stock.

The pandemic pushed financial giants to embrace a more casual dress code that many other corporations had begun to embrace. Diversity in dressFor some women on Wall Street, the shift from business formal to business casual has allowed them to step out of the unofficial uniform of pantsuits and sheath dresses. Lululemon in the boardroomNo Wall Streeters mentioned buying more Ferragamo ties, but many said they were leaning into athleisure. People still come in wearing their suits and ties and their Louboutins, and I'm like, 'what are we doing here?'

Making mistakes doesn't feel great, but they can provide some lessons you might not have learned otherwise. We asked this year's rising stars of Wall Street to open up about the biggest missteps of their careers so far and what they took away from them. Some shared their rookie errors — like slamming their laptop shut after forgetting to save their first big pitch deck or duplicating a trade — while others gave more reflective answers about how early career mistakes impacted their paths. We've got to iterate and change how we do things, and I think that's helped our team's process a lot. So my mistakes also brought me here, and everything that has been a mistake is always a learning experience.

As for today's edition, we're looking at how AI could upend the job of the junior banker, and the effect that'll have on Wall Street's traditional career path. AdvertisementAdvertisementAspiring financiers need to look no further than investment banks' analyst programs to get a foot in the door. But this crucial piece of Wall Street's ecosystem could be upended by the rise of artificial intelligence. AdvertisementAdvertisementBuy-side firms have largely held off on going after college graduates, instead pointing them toward banks' analyst programs. Regardless of what direction things go, what's clear is the type of work AI excels at falls directly in junior bankers' wheelhouse.

☆ Why former Goldman Sachs partners say they left the firm
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Dakin Campbell | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +23 min

Goldman Sachs partners are leaving — some 202 during David Solomon's five years as CEO by Insider's calculation. In particular, before Solomon, Goldman nurtured many fiefs and then spread the wealth from the most successful ones across the firm. Of the former Goldman executives that Insider interviewed, here are the most cited reasons they gave for leaving Goldman. When both men struggled, senior partners left, and Goldman stumbled in its efforts to wind down its balance-sheet investments. Goldman Sachs partners are paid well by any standard: $950,000 in base salary and often multiples of that in annual bonuses.

Goldman Sachs' summer internship program is harder to get into than Harvard. This summer Goldman hosted 2,970 interns, about 500 of whom were placed in the investment bank, according to stats provided by Goldman. Some rising juniors are also part of the internship classes, however, including Stephenson, who applied for her first Goldman internship during her freshman year of college. Last summer, Stephenson took the subway to work, which had its share of problems. According to Friedland, there's no "busy work" or "shadowing" and the senior bankers rely on the interns to do real work.

As Insider recently reported, demand for inflation traders by hedge funds has been red hot.

Many of those bankers had barely started their current investment-banking jobs, and others were still in training sessions for them. As always, the firms were recruiting first-year investment banking analysts for jobs that won't start until 2025. Midnight interviews are not uncommon in private-equity recruiting, nor are "exploding offers," which demand that candidates make a decision before leaving the interview room to prevent them from shopping around. $300,000 offersOver the years, on-cycle recruiting has crept up on candidates earlier and earlier.
