Hong Kong SA 2025

Hey all. Wanted to ask if anyone who has applied to HK received interview invitations or any offers as of today. I've applied to literally all banks and FIs opened and yet have not received any panel / phone interviews. Guess I'm screwed for 2025?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights regarding interview invitations and offers for Hong Kong Summer Analyst positions:

  1. Morgan Stanley (HK) Winter Analyst Interviews:

    • As of June 2018, applicants had not yet heard back a month after applying. It was unclear if calls had started or if they were still interviewing Summer Analysts.
  2. Bank of America Hong Kong Investment Banking Full-time Analyst Recruitment:

    • As of November 2021, candidates who had interviewed for the final round three weeks prior had not yet received feedback. HR mentioned they were waiting for results from interviewers.
  3. Citi HK IBD Offers:

    • As of October 2017, decisions were made once HR returned to Hong Kong after final rounds in London. No specific timeline was provided for offers.
  4. 2019 Citi HK SA:

    • As of September 2018, some candidates had received first-round invitations for CMO, but there was anxiety about the process. Citi typically conducted one batch of interviews starting in October.
  5. Goldman Sachs 2020 SA:

    • As of four years ago, the process involved interviews followed by offers. Specific timelines for communication were not provided.
  6. Winter Internship - 2020 Investment Banking Winter Analyst for Hong Kong / Singapore:

    • As of July 2019, applications for MS and CS had just closed, with some candidates having completed Hirevue and testing.
  7. 2019 Summer Analyst Program for Hong Kong/Singapore:

    • JPM had given out offers for both Markets & IBD. Citi had conducted first-round interviews in the U.S. starting from October 10. Credit Suisse had completed first-round interviews by July-August.
  8. 2019 HK IBD Summer Analyst position:

    • As of September 2018, JPM and Morgan Stanley had started first-round interviews via Hirevue. Goldman Sachs had not yet provided updates.

Given the current date is November 13, 2024, and considering the historical timelines, it is still possible that banks are in the process of reviewing applications and scheduling interviews. It might be beneficial to follow up with HR departments for updates.
