27 SA Timeline – Is It Just Me or Everything Feels Earlier This Year?

I’m a sophomore targeting 27 SA roles and starting to feel like the timeline keeps moving earlier every cycle. Some banks already wrapped up 26 SA recruiting insanely fast, which makes me wonder how early we realistically need to be ready for 27 SA. Curious how others are thinking about prep, networking, and technical readiness at this stage.

‘26 wrapped up last year and waves of ‘27 offers have already been sent out. 

 

brother.... SA27 is in full force. People are already getting offers and applications are probably nearly closed for majority of large banks. What are we talking about??
