How long do people tend to wait before getting an outcome on an application? I have applied to 5 jobs since beginning of March, all of which are “in review” or some variation but I haven’t heard anything more.

Shall I accept that I am most likely to be ghosted?
Or is it more likely I’ll get a decision one way or another?

First time applying to roles post Grad scheme so any advice would be great!

I would assume nothing will come out of it. Keep applying.

Wait for what ? Do you pause something in your life based on online applications?

Unless you get a written offer, you should carry on as usual. I don’t know what “accept” means here, practically speaking

Also if no one reached out you, then you were never ghosted. That will be majority of your applications without networking or referrals

Do they take time in releasing offer letters generally , or am I rejected already ?

Also, they mentioned 5% engagement bonus , and 8% annual bonus, do they give full amount , or some part of it.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
