Graduating a semester late - return offer
I'm going to be working as a summer analyst in private credit at a large bank this summer. Because I started school a semester late, which was my offer to enroll at a target school, I will probably have to take an extra semester.
If I do end up getting a return offer, will I not be able to sign for it, or will there be wiggle room with HR? Would I have to recruit again after I graduate in December 2028?
Try to see if you can take summer courses. A friend did, and he finished a week before his july start date years ago. Also look at online courses to load up now, find equivalent courses and get them approved. You should be able to grind your ass off and get another 16 credits before summer on top of your current load.
That is my ideal situation for sure, already signed up for 8 credits this summer to try and make up for it while doing my internship.
May I ask what you think how the firm would react if I do have to take an extra semester?
On the chance that I wouldn’t be able to finish in time, I wouldn’t want my grades to suffer from back to back 18 credit semesters if I need to recruit again.
Take an easy course at school and do the bare minimum on your courses externally to pass/transfer, as GPA doesn't typically take into account transfer credit grades. Hopefully, you aren't a STEM major or at a school without good grade inflation.
Hard to say but I'd operate as tho they'd pull your offer.
Thanks for putting it into perspective for me. I'm definitely more on the side of just grinding it through now, even if I have to do a 20-credit semester and summer classes.
Really appreciate your input.
