Hi guys, received a report after completing the job simulation for a 2026 grad program for HSBC. Does that mean I've been dinged? I read online it's not a good sign if you get the feedback report.. I'm really anxious about this :((

Based on the most helpful WSO content, receiving a feedback report after completing the HSBC job simulation does not necessarily mean you've been rejected. While some users have speculated that it might not be a positive sign, there is no definitive pattern or confirmation that receiving the report equates to being "dinged."
It's worth noting that HSBC's process can vary, and the feedback report might simply be part of their standard procedure to provide candidates with insights into their performance. If you're feeling anxious, it might be helpful to wait for further communication from HSBC or reach out to their HR team for clarification.
