D.E. Shaw internship application rejection weird phrasing.
Hi WSO,
I applied to D.E. Shaw's equity research analyst internship, and they replied with this:
"We have been unable to identify an ideal match between your particular background and experience and our current needs. However, we will keep your resume in our files on the chance that a suitable position should become available at a later date."
This obviously means that I have been rejected, but is it just an empty platitude or something more? The way they replied seems kinda weird if it were the former, but I don't wanna take it too optimistically since it could just be PR/niceness.
