SA 2025 Interviews Kicking Off (everyone)

Hey, 

For those recruiting, here is a quick update on the timeline: 

  • Interview processes wrapped up for many DEI apps
  • Interview processes kicking off for the standard apps
  • Most apps closing under a month 
  • 66 banks have apps open right now

Figured there is some uncertainty going around about SA 2025 recruiting, so wanted to clear the air. The whole process is probs ~1/3 the way complete already lol 

Some of my suggestions for those in the trenches: 

  • Focus on yourself and your timeline (noise about peers getting interviews + jobs will only distract you)
  • Unless you really know someone you're reaching out to, put less focus on networking (no one wants to chat with another college kid)
  • Master your technicals---you gotta get every question right (use your friends for mock interviews) 
  • Apply everywhere and apply TODAY (realistically you should have applied as soon as the apps opened ~1 month ago)

Feel free to hit my line with any questions
