Interviews
I have been interviewing a little. One week I had three interviews and now I have been cold for the past two. The last two weeks in August are the worst because everyone is on vacation. I was a third year who got laid-off right before promotion to associate. I am looking for PE and hedge funds junior positions...banking jobs are out there but at boutiques which I am also looking into. Never seen a job market like this before. How about you?
i guess it ebbs and flows...
interesting

same here. i was going into my second year before i got placed into one of those one year analyst programs that spread through the banks this year.
im pretty much looking at anything wall street related. i was in corp fin for a bit but left because i had to keep canceling interviews (1st rounds & final rounds). The senior guys I worked with were starting to get pissed off in August since I was pretty much the only junior person on my team around (everyone else was on vacation throughout august) and now when I was late/left early/took a day off due to interviews (which happened at least once a week), it just ticked ppl off. i got to the point where i couldn't take their crap anymore and didnt want to cancel any more interviews, so i took off.
im at the point where im about take a break for about a month or two and then just figure out what my next career should be.
Personally, I think anyone
Personally, I think anyone would be nuts to leave their current position without another one in hand. The market is extremely tight right now and it is a dog eat dog world for associate spots in PE. In addition, the flood of resumes into my bank has been at an all time high.
