Based on the most helpful WSO content, the S&T 2024 FT recruitment timeline can offer some insights into what you might expect for the 2025 cycle, although specific dates and processes can vary year to year and between firms. Typically, the recruitment process for Sales and Trading (S&T) positions at bulge bracket banks (BBs) starts well in advance of the start date. Networking and getting your name out there early can be beneficial.
For your current situation with Barclays (Barc) and Société Générale (SG), it's not uncommon for the recruitment process to have periods of waiting without hearing back. Each bank has its own timeline for reviewing applications, conducting interviews, and extending offers. Given that you're at a target school but haven't heard back from others, it might be a good time to follow up with your applications if a significant amount of time has passed. Additionally, continue networking, both with individuals at the firms you've applied to and others within the industry. This can sometimes help move your application forward or provide insights into where each firm is in their recruitment process.
Remember, persistence and maintaining a broad network can be key in the highly competitive S&T recruiting process. Keep an eye on the Wall Street Oasis forums for any updates or insights from others going through the same process, as this can sometimes offer real-time information on recruitment timelines and processes.
