Hi WSO,
I know this is more of a US-based site, but I was still wondering if anyone knows the recruiting timeline for Europe and Asia IBD SA positions. Also checked on The Student Room, but there does not seem to be a thread yet.
Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

For APAC (HK/SG) wise, currently only application for CS and Citi (IBD) has opened which is rather early this year
When do the apps close, and is it on a first come first serve basis?
Honestly I am not sure about the deadline because they did not post on their recruitment webpage. It would be great if someone with experience in applying to APAC, could step in to answer this question.
Thank god Europe and Asia are still somewhat sane about the recruitment scheduling...
Is it early or mid august for Europe usually?
Bump
There is a student room thread about 2018 SA which was made a few days ago
Is it possible to apply to both SA and FT at the same bank for the same role, or would that be an automatic ding?
They see all the applications you made. Hence, auto ding.
For London, most banks open in September.. Some in August (GS, JPM, CS and maybe 1 or 2 more). Boutiques mostly open in mid-September and beginning of October
loooool classic student room :') I used that for spring weeks and will use it again for SA positions lol
Is anyone here from Singapore and applying to BBs this summer! Drop me a PM we could apply together (Remind each other about deadlines etc)
Ditto, looking for a "buddy" but for HK and London positions!
Bump! Also if there are any current APAC bankers who could help us look at our resume/give us any tips that would be greatly greatly appreciated
PM me! Applying for London/HK.
Hey, do you wanna be a buddy so we could apply for HK SA programs together ? Saw your posting
Half august
Bump!
Bump! Any updates here? I saw a post about first-round at MS in HK.
Anyone applying to HK and US? Need a buddy to remind each other
Apply to HK and US here
Applying to both as well, but predominantly aiming for HK.
Would be great to have a group or something
