2020 London IBD SA/FT

Couldn't find much information on the main threads about London apps specifically so started this.

Anyone know if BBs/EBs have started reviewing applications past Hirevues/initial tests?

It's not great, but don't lose hope! It also depends on the program you're applying to. For instance, summer AC's have been running for quite a while now, but some full time and off-cycle have just begun in the past week. And some banks, such as CS, actually aren't recruiting any full time until after their fall analyst class finishes in late November.

UBS definitely has, I know a few people that went to AC's. Barclays as well, but to my understanding in London and New York they're on a bit of a hiring freeze so don't expect much there unless you applied to weird offices (like regionals or Dubai). Macquarie is also undergoing the process right now, with one assessment center being held this past Friday with a few more planned in the next few weeks. They're very quick at watching the videos and getting back to potential applicants within a week or two. Deutsche is in the phone screening stage. Edit: BNP is onto the AC stage, with the first planned November 18th.
