When will IB 1st rounds happen? SA26

I went to some info sessions at my school, and generally, most firms are saying resume drops + HireVue on Jan 1. However, I was talking to my friend (at Target + is in the IB club with tight connections to banks), and he said that his upperclassmen told him that banks are looking to interview VERY early, think late Nov - Early Dec.

This could also just be an RX thing, but is there any truth to this? Would like to know the word across diff. schools and the street

Thanks!
