Reneging Top EB for BB IB -> VC?
Hey all, I'm currently a sophomore at a top target. I was fortunate enough to secure a summer 24 offer from an EB recently. I was super relieved given that I started prepping for recruiting pretty late so I signed pretty much right after I received the offer. I also thought it would be the best...
