Are FS companies (banks, asset managers, etc) much slower with their hiring processes than consulting firms? I'm used to hearing back like two days after I interview for something at consulting firms, but keep getting updates from these big banks two+ weeks after I interview for them

There's a general slowdown in hiring everywhere.

Definitely get that. I've interviewed at two consulting firms, heard back from both within the next two days. Also interviewed with three banks and each took an average of 2 weeks to get back lol

Yes they are slow

In my experience FS companies (especially the larger ones) are slow at everything, so this wouldn’t surprise me

The amount of approvals my bf had to go through to get hired at citi was atrocious

Yes, I interviewed 9 times over 1.5 months and didn’t get it at GS 🥲

Yes. FS, trad banks especially…

Is this okay?
