I applied to a position at Citi a few months back. Got an email today out of the blue saying that they "are in the preliminary screening process of your application and will reach out shortly should you be selected for an interview."

Anyone know what this means?

Back to 2019 when I just graduated and was interviewing for the Valuation position, I started first round in early November. Two weeks silent no response of follow up, I thought I was done. First week of December, when I just accepted an offer from another place, HR called for second round interview targeting around Christmas.

If you aren’t getting an interview by now, keep applying for other roles. It only means you’ve submitted an application and that they’re interviewing those who they think are a fit
