Transcript - Lie
Hi - need your advice about a problem I'm facing.
I summered at a mm investment bank and now I'm working there full-time. When I applied for the summer, they requested unofficial copys of my transcript, copied and pasted into a word document. I changed some of my grades from a B to an A from my freshman year and they never checked when I worked there over the summer. Now I'm working there full-time and a month into the job, HR is asking for official transcripts to confirm that I've graduated (I'm not even sure if they still have my application from two years ago on hand or if they're going to compare it). Should I:
1) Tell HR about it.
2) Forge a copy of my official transcript.
3) Quit and find another job to save myself from the embarssment.
Thanks.

1. You're an idiot.
2. Just send them your official transcript and see what happens.

You're an asshat. Send them
You're an asshat. Send them your official transcript or if you can, try and find another opportunity in this dreadful recruiting season with your offer.
If you admit it to HR - unless all the MDs loved you and you were a superstar intern - you're as good as gone. And Do NOT forge another transcript - you'll be lower than scum. Your word and reputation will be pretty tarnished even before you start your career, and if the senior people at your Chicago MM bank have some serious connections and want to ruin your life, you'll be joining the ranks of Aleksey Vayner and Jeffrey Chiang.
Can't you just give them your
Can't you just give them your diploma and see what happens?
Rofl...you got some balls

But in all seriousness, I doubt HR will go over your transcript and double check the grades. They'll just verify that you didn't fuck up and failed to graduate.
Don't do this shit ever again tho
Also, the fact that you're
Also, the fact that you're even considering to forge the official transcript is alarming as fuck. You know this can lead to some serious jeffrey chiang/etc shit, right?
I'll pick 2) Forge a copy of
I'll pick 2) Forge a copy of my official transcript.
Is that the correct answer?
And you should start looking for another job just in case they find out soon and fire you.
I would never pick 1) as 3) is a superior option to it in all cases.
To be honest, I think there's a lot of potential in you to get to the top, especially in finance. I agree that this particular move was a bit stupid though - next time, lie about something that cannot be easily verified and you'll be fine.
Given that you've decided to
Given that you've decided to forge your unofficial transcript, you need to find a way to forge the official or you're possibly fucked. Hire some photoshop whiz for $100 and have your forged 'official' transcripts printed at a really high quality printing/office supplies store using the finest of paper (the kind that charges $5 for a one sided A4 sheet).

This isn't serious, is it?

Banking is absolutely crawling with slimy, lying, cheating cocksuckers and you all know it.
Since he fessed up and admitted he is a lying sack of shit, let's see what we can do for him. Don't tell HR. That's like going to traffic court and pleading guilty. You're only a month in so it is too early to quit. That leaves you some options:
1. Keep putting off HR about the transcripts
2. See if your school can validate your graduation without a transcript
3. Say that you are contesting a grade in one of your courses (this is technically true) and that is holding up release of transcript but offer option 2
note none of these involve forgery or more outright lying. your firm cannot legally get your transcripts: they can, however, verify graduation and major indepndent of you.
obviously, you dumb bunny, you have not been following the news of many high-profile CV-fakers over the past few years, so every firm does an anal-probe caliber background check now. if you had been reading the papers instead of fucking up your classes you might know this.
good luck!

Fuck, i Should never have
Fuck, i Should never have done it, and I regret doing, I should have applied and if I got an interview, told them why I fucked up those courses, but I know that I wouldn't even gotten an interview if I did that - which doesn't excuse it. I'm never going to do something like this again, cause every since I started, I've been thinking about it.
I think the best option for me is to quit (not sure what reason I'm going to provide yet), and look for another job somewhere else in another finance stream, but I'm not sure how tough this will be given the job market. They'll probably ask why I didn't go back to the firm, etc. But I think my reputation is pretty important starting off.
I don't see what the big deal
I don't see what the big deal is.
The best thing to do was to say" oh wow it was definitely a typo, must have gotten confused are there any other issues with it?"
Then ask to see the original copy you made vs the official and say oh wow I got three of em wrong, hopefully this won't happen in any of my work, is there any other issues that you(HR) found?
