HSBC spring week process?

Ive been recently contacted by HSBC that my JS results met the minimum benchmark

The trakers(LSE and bristol) say that the JS is the last process however the email says that ur application is being reviewd in detail and we'll let you know if ur selected to move forward

Should I be worried about this?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that HSBC's Job Simulation (JS) is a critical step in their process, but it may not always be the final one. While some trackers (like LSE and Bristol) suggest that the JS is the last stage, HSBC's email indicates that your application is still under review. This could mean they are conducting a more detailed evaluation of your performance or comparing candidates before making final decisions.

You shouldn't necessarily be worried, as meeting the minimum benchmark is a positive sign. However, it’s important to stay patient and prepared for any potential next steps. If you’re unsure, you could consider reaching out to HSBC for clarification on the timeline or process.
