Anyone have any sense of when this might happen? Just curious since looking at past years it seems S&T goes later than IB at least for GS but wondering if anyone has thoughts on this cycle

Based on the most helpful WSO content, historically, Goldman Sachs' Sales & Trading (S&T) recruiting timeline tends to lag slightly behind Investment Banking (IB). For example, in previous cycles, IB superdays often occurred in the summer or early fall, while S&T timelines extended into late fall or even early winter.
For the Summer Analyst 2027 (SA'27) cycle, it's reasonable to expect a similar pattern. If IB recruiting starts earlier in the summer or fall of 2026, S&T superdays might follow shortly after, likely in late fall 2026. However, with the trend of accelerated recruiting timelines, it's always a good idea to stay proactive and monitor updates directly from GS or through networking.
If you're targeting GS FICC and Equities, make sure your application is polished and submitted early, as timelines can shift unexpectedly. Keep an eye on forums like WSO and leverage LinkedIn connections to stay informed about any updates or changes in the process.
