Apollo Global Management has delayed making investment banker offers to the class of 2027, following criticism from banks about young graduates accepting future-dated job proposals. In a letter sent to candidates, the firm stated that it believes graduates should focus on gaining early career experience before taking on a role. CEO Marc Rowan agrees with recent concerns over the hiring process starting too early and has opted not to pursue new offers this year.
