2024 HSBC graduate scheme

Starting the thread. I've applied for the quantitative finance associate programme.

Finished the OIA, and have been invited to the Job Simulation. Now need to figure out how not to fail it for the fourth successive time...

I see, I've applied for Singapore as I'm ok to relocate. Do you know if you can apply to more than one location? though i think its highly unlikely

Across different locations? Perhaps - you'll need to check though.

If anyone gets the minimum benchmark email, can you let me know how many days it takes to get it?

It basically tells you that you've passed the job simulation and that they'll proceed with looking at the application in more detail (you'll get a different email if you've failed). In other words, you've met the cutoff.
Note that passing the job simulation doesn't guarantee getting the next stage.

I did not do the practice test; I generally don't find them helpful.
Did anyone find the job sim feedback report really confusing to understand and also quite negative, it mainly just said if you are unsuccessful what to do and said if this applies to you, you should work on the following areas. didn't seem very personalised
