IB FT Recruiting for 2025 grads

I am entering my senior year without a summer analyst position but still looking to apply for full time spots as they come along this fall. Is there any advice for what I should be doing in the meantime aside from networking and studying the technicals? Also is there any information on when spots will be posted?

Lot of FT recruiting in IB is just networking. Keep emailing your contacts every month to ask if there are any updates.

One senior referral and you’ll be on the shortlist to interviews. Don’t rely on applications, secure a referral from someone senior. Prep, be knowledgeable of market trends, have interesting insights, be likeable and impress senior MDs or global heads. No other way, applications are just compliance. 
All interviews I had during FT recruiting was without even applying. Had to apply after offers just to be in the system.
