Yes its always a possibility but the chances of that happening are pretty slim.
Thanks for the input!
I have a placement analyst position before as well (as I wanted to start directly after my SA 2020). I assume that the only risk of my FT (starting 2021) would be fucked up is by fucking up my Placement position I have starting now? (Performed very well during my SA 2020)
I was at a MM and mine was rescinded a month before my start date, so yes it can happen
That sucks. You land somewhere else? And how was that process?
Nope, been trying to network and find something for four months now. Have a very solid network but am still playing the waiting game. Starting to lose hope, and I really don't know what else to do. I really feel like there isn't much more I can do. The only positive that I have is that my resume is an A+ and some firms have said they would be willing to consider me for a lateral hire if things turn around in a few months.
Shit, sorry to hear that. Positive is that you DID receive an offer... so you don't have that stigma. Was this in NYC, or other city? Such BS that they did you like that. I mean, it's not like the firm shut down, right? They COULD have honored their commitment. They just chose not to. So wrong to screw you like that.
It was in a midwest city. It's a bank with a horrible reputation and is quite frequently bashed on in here (deservedly so). I was late into the game for getting into IB soph year so I unfortunately chose to settle. I agree that it's wrong to rescind any offers. My opinion on reneging offers has changed because of this. Before, I thought it was an integrity thing not to renege. Now, I realize everyone is only self-interested so I see no problem in it and wish I did. It's interesting how experiences like this change your beliefs.
I mean... at BBs at least, very unlikely I'd say - even after the covid outbreak this year none of the incoming FT BB analyst's offers were rescinded
not for BB, MM maybe
Doubt it.
