Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for there to be a bit of a wait between when applications open and when candidates start hearing back about interviews. Networking is key in this process, so it's great that you're already in the loop about potential interviews. Here's what you can do while you wait:

  1. Continue Networking: Keep in touch with your contacts at Lincoln International. Express your interest and ask for any updates they might be able to share.

  2. Prepare for Interviews: Use this time to prep for interviews. The WSO Investment Banking Interview Prep Course could be a valuable resource.

  3. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on the WSO forums. Often, candidates share their experiences and timelines, which can give you a sense of when you might hear back.

  4. Be Patient: Sometimes the process can take a while, and firms have different timelines for their recruiting process.

If you haven't heard back yet, don't be discouraged. The process can vary year by year, and sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for the firm to reach out. Keep networking and stay prepared!
