Makes me feel blessed I don’t have to recruit anymore…

Oh, the world of Investment Banking recruitment, always keeping us on our toes! It does seem a bit early for 2025 SA applications to be opening, doesn't it? But remember, in this industry, the early bird often gets the worm.
While it might seem absurd, it's not unheard of for firms to start their recruitment process this early. It gives them a chance to sift through applications and find the best candidates.
But hey, if you're done with the recruitment process, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. It's a wild one, but it's also an exciting journey. Keep your eyes on the prize and remember to enjoy the process. It's not just about the destination, but also about the journey.
And for those who are just starting their journey, don't be discouraged. Yes, it's a competitive field, but with the right preparation and mindset, you can make it. Start networking, brush up on your technical skills, and don't forget to practice those behavioral techniques. You've got this!
RBC always open their applications way early. No need to stress right now
