Based on the most helpful WSO content, the timing for receiving return offers can vary by firm. For example, some firms like Goldman Sachs may not notify interns about return offers until a few weeks or even two months after the summer program ends. While it is common for return offers to be given during an in-person meeting on the last day of the internship, this is not always the case.
Regarding full-time (FT) interviews, if you haven't received a return offer notification by the end of your internship, it might be challenging to get looped into FT recruiting processes. Many firms begin their FT recruiting in July, and if you're not already in the process by the end of July, it could be difficult to secure a lateral offer. Superdays and interviews for FT roles often occur shortly after internships end, with offers typically finalized by mid to late August.
Given that your internship in Hong Kong ends in late August, you may face a tighter timeline for FT recruiting. It would be wise to proactively network and prepare for potential FT opportunities in advance.
