Am I cooked - going back into IB from strategic finance
Hey all - looking for some advice. Graduated a few years ago and I started at a BB as an analyst - was going some pretty bad mental health stuff and left with no intentions of coming back. Unfortunately, definitely burnt some bridges with my old team. Ended up finding a gig doing strategic finance and also spent a lot of time "finding myself," cliche as it sounds. Since then, I've been considering going back into IB - I'd probably be starting as a senior analyst. I think I've matured and grown a ton and done the work to where I can handle that type of environment again and I think at the time, the reasons I did poorly were external and not related to the job. I've received an offer from a BB in another city but am worried that they'll do some off-reference checks. Am I for sure cooked?
they should just check to see if you worked there right?
I hope so - not sure man - i feel like these firms do off-record checks all the time but could be wrong
Lost you at “no intentions of coming back”
HR will just check to see (1) if you worked there and during what time period and (2) what your last title is etc. the reality is, there’s probably going to be informal checks from your new team. Finance is small. I get pinged all the time with “hey we hired this person and looks like you guys overlapped. What did you think” …outside of your control. How bad did you burn the last bridge?
as bad as it can get, to be honest - didn't tell them at all the true nature of me leaving and just left. Obviously let them know but definitely not people that would speak positively about me
