I’m a sophomore who’s about to start IB recruiting, and was wondering how people keep up with IB apps and when they are opened? I want to submit my apps asap after they open but checking the careers page for each bank everyday would be really inefficient

You should apply for everything right when it opens and just save the email receipts that confirm you applied in a folder or something.
Tracking who you’re talking to / who is pushing your resume at each bank is the real key.
Ty!
Network and ask when the application opens. Don't be a lazy bitch.
Edit: unless ur diversity, but networking never hurts
Ty, I can’t believe I didn’t think abt that lol
Does being diversity change the application date/ program to apply to? Or is there another type of application
Also, would it be rude to ask upfront if the person I’m talking to has an idea of when apps open?
It’s all the same application. However, for several banks, they have special routes for diversity (like a sophomore diversity program that automatically gives you a junior superday).
In any case, diversity recruiting goes before non diversity recruiting. There are separate superdays for diversity and non diversity. In general, diversity superdays will have easier technicals, if any at all. Good luck man
In regards to asking when it opens, what I did is at the end of the call I would be like “curious if you had any insight on the current recruiting timeline for x bank”
Shouldn’t you be submitting apps after networking? Does earlier necessarily increase your chances ?
Apps are typically looked at on a rolling basis.
How would u recommend finding out when they open? Or j checking
Adventis has a pretty good sheet for open positions -- I'd also browse your school's Handshake once every few days
