Anyone else not heard a thing?

Currently at a target MSc programme in London. I applied to most IB SA roles in early-mid September but I still haven’t heard anything in regards to interviews.

Finished all the tests & HV’s - yet I haven’t gotten rejected or advanced. Kind of nerve wracking as a lot of people on this site are already hearing about AC’s.

This is me venting more than anything but if anyone else is in the same position it’d be nice to have some validation.

Sure - but the point was, you are applying SA

I think you shouldn't let yourself down already. Some buddies of mine that are recruiting are now starting to hear the first feedbacks. Rejections, when they came, came quite quickly for them. Some are starting to get first rounds or are passing the CV screens, when companies have those. 

Moreover, heard from some people that HR is still busy with the whole COVID situation and that FT positions get priority over SA recruiting. So don't worry too much about your applications, news will have to come in sooner rather than later.
