Thread for people who want to talk about IBD applications based in London. Please feel free to ask and answer questions.Personally, I am keen to hear about what stage is everyone at and their sentiment for the application process in general.I think I have applied to over 30+ places and haven't made it through to the VI/ AC stage for most of them.

Submitted a bunch of apps, still have some assessments/tests to complete. But have not heard back for an actual interview from anywhere (also no outright rejections yet)
Similar situation for me, I’m pretty sure Evercore have almost finished recruiting but the rest are still open.
Not heard back from any which is semi-worrying
30+ where you finding these open apps lol only found about 10-15
I also applied to very small boutique firms that I found on LinkedIn
Can you share any names?
Applied to about 30, only had a screen for DC Advisory through Dartmouth Partners.
Rejected by UBS.
Radio silence from the rest.
Same with UBS
Did you get rejected following their Sonru or after tests?
Pretty quiet on my side of things too, thought it would be a bit busier by now
