IB networking timeline? Ib still possible?

I know most banks open applications in January for SA internships 2026. I began networking in December but I’m wondering if and how late I am in the networking process? Am I too late to the networking scene? If so, what effects would that have for an applicant from a target with a quite strong resume?

I’m drunk rn but this is low key an autist post, this has been covered several times but if you continue networking through feb you’ll be fine. Just make genuine connections through your networking and applying as much as you can through bb/eb/bsb/mm/boutiques and you’ll have a fighting chance.
