Ah, the early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the early applicant gets the attention! If you're talking about the Bank of America Summer Analyst (SA) 2025 applications, it's great that you're getting a jump on the process. Based on previous WSO threads, here's some advice:

  1. Networking: Keep reaching out to current employees, alumni, and recruiters. It's a tried-and-true method to get your foot in the door.
  2. Preparation: Make sure your resume and cover letter are tailored to BofA and highlight your relevant experience and skills.
  3. Practice: Brush up on your technical skills and practice for interviews. The WSO Investment Banking Prep Pack can be a goldmine for this.
  4. Patience: It's a marathon, not a sprint. Stay persistent and keep a positive attitude.

Remember, the process can be selective, with steps like HireVue interviews acting as a first-round filter before Superdays, as seen in the BofA SA 2024 thread. Keep your chin up and your spirits high!

Does anyone have insight about the SF recruiting timeline? Had a coffee chat screening earlier last week with the FSG team but just curious what are the next steps.

 

friend got superday invite for snt, was the first batch for hirevue with me. do we know if spd invites come out in waves if I should wait? alum told me should hear back by first week of march...

 

when was the first batch of hirevue for u? i was 2/28, do u know when i might expect to hear back? 

contact said final rounds are happening all the way thru march + april...

 

We were the 2/22 which my contact said should be hearing back first week of March. Def more super days coming I think it might just be in waves for diff ppl too

 

i genuinely can't tell. there is just that person that said he asked someone. i feel like maybe because they haven't send out offers because  the other superdays next week (which are kinda in the same wave as us) havent happened. is it normal for banks to send out date options like that so far apart?

 

Just heard back from recruiter he said offers for 3/8 will go out this week so if we dont hear anything back then we can move on. 

 

I haven’t heard yet and am getting a bit restless, but to my understanding it doesn’t seem like anyone without competing processes or offers have heard. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

I know 3 people that didn’t have competing offers or any accelerated process that received offers already 

2 of them interviewed on Thursday and one Friday 

if you haven’t heard back you either waitlisted meaning someone has to reject their offer for you to get one or you simply cut
