Asked if I Received RO in Networking Email

Hey guys, I’ve been sending emails to various banks and did not receive a return offer. An analyst at an EB responded asking if I did, to which I replied truthfully.

Since then, I haven’t received a further response, so I was wondering if following up/going for EBs without a return is pretty futile?

Have heard no, also in the same position and was re-recruiting over the summer. Bankers that have followed up with me over the past week have all ghosted since I told them I didn't receive the RO.

 

I was indeed. Seems the notorious return offer cuts are pretty well known now
