No first round interviews from summer 2025 yet... (non IB roles)

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the timeline for interviews can vary significantly depending on the role and the bank. For non-IB roles such as commercial, credit, treasury, and middle office positions, the process might not be as accelerated as it is for IB roles. Here are some general insights:

• Application Period: Typically, applications for summer roles open in the summer months, similar to IB roles.
• Interview Timeline: While IB roles often start interviews as early as July or August, non-IB roles might have a slightly delayed timeline. It's not uncommon for interviews to start in late August or even September.
• Response Time: Given that you've applied to over 60 places in the last 5-6 weeks, it's still within a reasonable timeframe to start hearing back. Some banks might take longer to process applications and schedule interviews.

If you haven't heard back yet, it might be helpful to follow up with the HR departments of the banks you've applied to. Additionally, networking within the industry can sometimes provide more insights into specific timelines and help expedite the process.

Stay patient and proactive, and best of luck with your applications!
