To track when applications for SA26 in London IBD open, here are some actionable steps based on the most helpful WSO content:

  1. Monitor Bank Websites: Most banks post their application timelines directly on their careers pages. Regularly check the careers sections of major banks like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and others.

  2. Use WSO Forums: Threads like "SA 2021 UK IBD Open Dates" have been created in the past to share updates on application openings. Keep an eye on similar threads for SA26. You can also start a discussion to crowdsource information from other users.

  3. Networking: Reach out to current analysts or associates at your target banks. They often have insights into when applications are expected to open and can provide tips on navigating the process.

  4. Spreadsheet Tracking: Create a spreadsheet to track deadlines. Some users on WSO recommend this approach to stay organized and ensure you don’t miss any key dates.

  5. Recruitment Programs: Some banks run early recruitment or diversity programs. These often open before the general SA applications, so researching and applying to these can give you a head start.

  6. WSO Bootcamps and Resources: Leverage WSO’s resources like the Investment Banking Interview Prep and Virtual Bootcamps to stay prepared for when applications open.
