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.

Is it written your application is under consideration on the applicant portal ?
I think you shouldn't be worried- I did the JS too and did not receive anything afterwards from HSBC saying that I met the minimum benchmark
Oh yh heard that JS is the last process and seems like they're checking our credentials or smth like that
And I just got season's greeting email from HSBC. Lol
It says my app will be reviewed in more detail
yeah you probably got it then
Did they give you a feedback report on your JS ?
Which function did you guys apply for?
Did anyone receive any news from hsbc because I heard London sw is out but idk about Birmingham
Applied to birmingham; no response yet. Which one did you apply for?
I too applied for the Birmingham one and received the same email that I have passed the minimum benchmark required. Haven’t heard back yet but the offers are out as far as Ik (at least for global markets) so Idk.
Anyone heard back yet?
Still radio silent from HSBC, I also applied HSBC Birmingham CB
Any updates from HSBC?

I guess theres no point doing this now lol
