After 5 Superdays...No offer

Hey, just want to share my experience. Probably a bad luck year with much sunk cost. I kicked off my recruiting session this year and got into the final round/superday of DeShaw, DB, Blackrock, OTPP and HSBC. But it has been close to Christmas and no reply and offer from them at all. I am so exhausted and probably is going to give up my plan of breaking into the street. Maybe a master degree first... Is there any advice about the future plan?

Keep going only takes one offer, I had 4 superdays before I got my offer. Just keep improving and you should get better with each interview. 

 

Just keep applying and never give up. It really only takes 1 offer. I was rejected from so many IBs that i almost gave up on it but eventually managed to get a role at a decent bank.

 

Took me about 20 super days to get an offer.

You will get there. It’s a matter of when and not if.
