Same boat. Not at a top tier bank but a solid one, was told by analysts in my group that interviews are relatively plentiful. Not sure what happened this year

 

Yeah it’s weird - I got to know of on cycle kicking off through litquidity as opposed to HH emails. Assumed my phone would’ve been buzzing (as people have said on wso before) but alas

 

In the exact same position here. Glad to know I’m not alone. Is there any chance of getting interviews scheduled tonight?
