Direct TC Application Interview Timelines?

Hello everyone,

I have submitted a number of direct TC applications and have not heard back yet (understandably, as most deadlines have not closed yet). I am planning a trip outside the country for the majority of June, and I was wondering what the interview timelines tend to be like.

In particular, do most firms tend to hold in-person assessment components during June, or is that reserved for July/August? Are there any firms that are known for running the TC assessment sooner?

Thanks! I posted a similar question on the main TC applications thread, but subsequently felt the question was better suited to the interviews discussion section.
