Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems that the recruitment process for SA positions often starts around mid-October. This is based on previous years' timelines and could vary slightly. It's great that you've already applied to a few offices. Now, it's a waiting game.

Remember, networking is key in this period. If you've made any contacts within the offices you've applied to, now would be a good time to reach out and express your continued interest.

Also, keep an eye on your email and be ready for potential interviews. They can sometimes come up quicker than expected. Good luck!
