Hey, you can always email them to check don't get disheartened yet as many people may reject the offer so they most likely will have a waiting list (:

Doing it this year, I applied last year. The assessment itself is quite scenario based. "If your team cannot decide a solution, what do you do etc.." and you select out of 4 the one that applies to you. The video interview i found tough. I prepped questions but its mostly about "why do you want to have work experience at HSBC specifically ". Thats where you talk about the company etc
