I've been told that the IBs are expecting to hire around 50-60 grads this year Australia-wide with Macquarie taking around half. But not everyone that goes onto the Grad program at IB are graduates straight out of uni, some of them have been working a couple of years in Big 4 or in the operations section of IB and transferring in.

50-60 grads in total across Australia across all divisions? Could you please confirm that this is actually the case, and where you heard this rumor from?

Cheers.

Yeah I heard this from someone who is a current grad at an investment bank.

I can't confirm that it is actually the case, since I can't be bothered ringing all the banks.

I can't recall if the number was just IB divisions or if it included traders . . . but i know we were talking front office positions.

Hope that answers your question.
