Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for there to be variations in the timing of receiving tests after applying. Here are some insights:

  • Citi SA 2019: A user mentioned that they had multiple applications with statuses like "Under Review" and "Received" but had not heard back for a while. This suggests that there can be delays in the process.
  • London 2023 Progress Megathread: Another user noted that they were stuck at the "Business Review" stage for Citi, indicating that the process can be slow and inconsistent.

Given that today is Wednesday, September 4th, 2024, and you applied just yesterday, it might be too soon to worry. It's possible that the system is processing your application, and you might receive the test shortly. If you don't hear back within a few days, consider reaching out to Citi's recruitment team for clarification.

I received 3 emails:

Firstly they are closing the application due to technical issues and I'll receive a new link. The second saying I was rejected. The third one (sent at the same time as the second) says the position has been cancelled.

Have not yet received a new link :/
