I am curious to when is the best time to apply as there is no clear information regarding that on their website, also I am wondering if there's any problem in applying to a MBB a year after I graduate for an analyst position

Hi,
Different office s have different guidelines so you can:
- Check the local website
- Call the office and check with HR (if no local website)
Answering your second question - there is no problem with applying after graduation. Although fresh grads may have a dedicated interview process and potentially higher chances. Again - depends on the office
Best!
