Should I continue to recruit/apply?

Currently a sophomore, will be interning at Fidelity this summer in a program that directly feeds into Fidelity's research associate internships for next summer. So by completing my internship in August, I'm basically guaranteed a summer 2024 return offer in a RA role.

Just wondering if there's value in recruiting for other 2024 opportunities given that I have a great offer in place. Appreciate any advice.

If you are happy with the offer, and there is no way they would retract it.. then fine. I would leave things as they are.

But if you are not really into the area or want a higher profile name on your CV.. you could continue to apply.

What is your view on this? Happy how everything went? Culture is good? You met the team/line manager, etc?

 

Thanks for the reply. Very interested in investing roles and my goal is ultimately PM so I am definitely happy with the offer. Are there any investment firms that are more high-profile than Fidelity that recruit at the undergrad level? Genuinely curious because in that case I'll continue applying.

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to meet the team as I'll only begin in June, and by that point I would have had to have finished summer 2024 recruiting.
