Can you ever get unblacklisted?
I did my summer internship at a BB and failed to convert. I really pissed off an MD who went completely mental at me and said I'll never work at this bank. To remain anonymous, I won't say what happened.
I'm now working at a regional boutique and have been trying to lateral to a BB and I regularly reapply to this BB but for different teams whenever I see analyst roles.
Whenever I apply I get rejected the same day after sending off my application hence I've figured out the MD must have emailed HR my name and said to never hire me or something and so my name must be on the 'blacklist' and either automatically or whenever HR see my name it might flag as red and they reject me.
I used to think the 'blacklist' was just made up and so I thought to test it.. I made a fake account and applied at the same time as me, my account was rejected the same day but the fake account never received a rejection email until about 3 weeks later, hence I must be on the blacklist.
Is there a way I can resolve this?
Why are you fixated on this one BB? There's 15 other BBs and EBs... why kill yourself over this one bank?
And can't you just generalize as to what you did? Was it work related, was it a social faux pas? Was the MD warranted in being pissed at you?
100% on this one. Many ponds out there to cast your net in. Not worth the time with one bank if you keep getting stonewalled.
This is the only BB (in my region) that regularly posts job vacancies for second or third year analysts relevant to my experience. I regularly check all of the BB's career pages but for some reason, none of the other BBs post relevant roles (unless they hire headhunters to do it for them so it's not publicly advertised).
My f*** up was me saying something I shouldn't have said in front of a client during a meeting. (as an intern I had no clue I wasn't allowed to say that but me saying it created a big problem between the firm and the client).
Yeah this will get you blacklisted. Apply to other regions or stick it out at the regional boutique, it's not going to happen with this BB.
As an intern why did you feel the need to talk directly to the client? That’s asking for trouble
