2025 Analyst Application Tracker

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some tips for tracking FT analyst programs:

1. Engage with Forums: Regularly check forums like Wall Street Oasis for updates. Users often share information about openings and timelines.
2. Networking: Reach out to analysts and associates at your target banks. They can provide insights on when applications are likely to open.
3. Company Websites: Frequently visit the careers pages of banks. They will post official openings and deadlines.
4. Recruitment Events: Attend virtual or in-person recruitment events. These events often provide information on application timelines.
5. LinkedIn: Follow the companies and recruiters on LinkedIn. They often post updates about recruitment cycles.

For a more structured approach, consider creating a spreadsheet to track: - Bank Name - Application Opening Date - Application Deadline - Contact Person (if any) - Notes/Comments

This method will help you stay organized and ensure you don't miss any important deadlines.
