Hi... i'm a jobless senior right now going through full time recruiting. unfortunately i have zero offers now but have a good number of superdays in the coming couple of weeks. a lot of places like to hold superdays on the same weekday, which leaves me with a dilemma...

I have 2 superdays and 1 first round on the same weekday over a two week span. 1 of the superdays is with an MM bank that is still quite well-known and the other superday is with a bulge bracket. the first round is with a strong p/e firm (blackstone, baincap, cerberus)...

Out of those 3 i can only choose two, since the firms are willing to hold superdays the following week but at the same time, and since each is very inflexible with times i'm ultimately going to have to cancel one of them.

Considering I have zero offers right now, would i be crazy to cancel a top-notch p/e interview for a superday with an MM firm? should i cancel an easier firm just for a shot at an elite one?

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about reinsurance trading; longevity derivatives, mortality bonds, and the like. I know it's quite a new thing on Wall Street, and I was wondering whether starting in that career vs a traditional investment banking stint would be a good idea, or whether it would pigeonhole you into something too removed from the markets. Thanks.
