I keep noticing BB SA positions being promoted on linkedin, etc, despite the fact that BB's stopped their recruiting cycle for summer 2025 like 7 months ago. Is this to backfill vacancies or are more positions randomly opening up? Also what are the implications for someone who gets an offer this late for 2025.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for BBs to promote positions or reopen applications after their main recruiting cycle. This could be due to several reasons:
For someone receiving an offer this late for 2025, the implications could include: - Potentially Limited Networking Opportunities: Late offers might mean less time to connect with peers and mentors before the internship starts. - Perception of the Role: While it’s still a great opportunity, some might view late offers as less competitive compared to those given during the main cycle. - Flexibility in Preparation: You may have less time to prepare for the internship compared to those who secured offers earlier.
However, securing a BB SA offer at any time is a significant achievement, and the experience itself will still be highly valuable for your career trajectory.
