Could I lose an IB return offer if between the time I complete summer analyst and begin full time, if I start and sell a small tech company?
Could I lose an IB return offer if between the time I complete summer analyst and begin full time, if I start and sell a small tech company? Might be a conflict of interest or something or draw negative attention to the firm.
Also, I know certain jobs require you to not own any shares or stocks in companies, could I give my shares or stocks to a family member to satisfy this requirement?
There's nothing wrong with having your own company, whether you're working in IB or not. You simply have to request permission for it.
No, giving your shares to your family in order to circumvent compliance rules designed to prevent insider trading and market manipulation is pretty similar conceptually to telling your mum to buy the stock of the deal you're working on.
But generally, (and you should read your own compliance bylaws) there is no rule against holding *all* stocks (otherwise this would mean bankers pretty much couldn't invest). There will be rules against holding specific stocks and probably holding periods too.
