Advice after rescinded offer
I just graduated with a 3.7 GPA from a private school (non-target) in the Midwest. This past October I took a job offer to start upon graduation at a smaller (about 70 people) valuation firm that was about 1/4 alumni (including CEO and most MDs). I chose the firm because I got along really well with everyone I talked to, I felt like I fit into the culture very well, and it’s exactly what I wanted to do. Fast forward to late April I got notified that my offer was rescinded because of Covid and the economic ramifications. I decided the best plan of attack was to try to find something else for the time being. I ended up getting a job at a fast growing FinTech company in the area and started last week, my position is in the operations department but I’m supposed to get exposure to many different areas. On the positive side, I report directly to a VP with an Ivy League background with great experience. I’m curious on what advice people might have about this, I’m sure the job I have now will be good for awhile but it’s not exactly what I want to be doing. I ideally want to end up at the valuation firm I had an offer at but I don’t know how realistic that is. How long should I stay at the FinTech company, will I find any good finance jobs in the next 6 months - a year? Curious what others think and any advice would be greatly appreciate!
The one thing I can tell you is that jobs will start to pick up next year/late this year so keep you eye on opportunities to apply. A lot of people are going to try to use 2020 as an excuse for not having a job right out of college (myself included) so the fact that you have something is still something you can explain to recruiters, and will even help you look better. You should also stay in contact with that valuation firm as they will probably open up later and might feel bad about rescinding.
