Can they take away your full time offer after summer?

Since market conditions aren't ideal, if you were a summer analyst at a BB and haven't accepted the offer yet, could they take back their offer if they need to cut labor? Or would they fire the current employees first?

Hey, this is an interesting point. Some contracts I have seen mention that you are an 'at will' employee and that the bank can cancel it for no reason whatsoever. It also says that you can also cancel on the firm for no reason. Does that mean if the economy tanks, they fire you or if you find a better offer after signing that people cancel on their firm?

 

Do many people actually accept their offers and then use the clause to pull out of it if they get a better offer? I'm assuming that whatever bank you pull out of will be pretty angry...
