Is it fine to interview around AFTER signing offer?
This specifically applies to people who already signed offer with banks that are going through rough times (MS, GS) or integration of some sort (BoA, ML, etc). Even though some of us already signed the offer, we know that anything could happen to their offers (getting rescinded) in an instant these days. So is it OK to still interview around and seek other companies' offers? It;s not for reneging purposes. Just in case our signed offers get rescinded, we'll have somewhere to go. but if nothing happens to our signed offers, we'll just not take the new offers. Is it unethical? illegal? breach of contract?

Your offer letter is NOT a
Your offer letter is NOT a contract. It is just essentially a letter of intent to hire you. Regardless, go ahead and interview around. Noone will ever recommend reneging as good business practice, but it is fine to interview around just in case the bank rescinds your offer.

Has anyone heard of any
Has anyone heard of any offers being rescinded since the end of the summer?
of course do what you want.
of course do what you want. its financial companies not dictatorship governments. most people wouldn't want to interview again as few find it to be enjoyable, but go ahead if you want to. (Realize though that you're going to have to accept or decline sometime and getting more offers doesnt decrease the probability that the one you accept will go down after youve accepted it and declined others)

Not a great practice
That said, as long as you proceed with caution, chances are you will not get caught. So bottom-line: be careful if you decide to do it.

Interview at your own risk
If you've already signed an offer I think it's pretty bad form to still interview at other places.
A couple of years ago, there was a guy from my school that got caught interviewing after he signed an offer. His interviewers at the two different firms happened to be good friends and somehow realized what he was doing. His offer was rescinded, and they told all of their colleagues at other firms not to hire him because he lacked integrity. It wasn't pretty.
Of course, as long as they don't find out you'll probably be okay...but be careful. It's a very small world.
how would you get caught
do HR from diff banks talk to each other?
