Can my FT (IB at BB) offer suddenly be rescinded?

Hi!

I have obtained an offer to come back next summer and wonder if there are any risks of my offer (maybe because of corona uncertainty) may be cancelled? It is one of the top BB banks (IBD) interned for their office in Europe.

Thanks a lot!

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)

 

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.

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.
