Defer IB analyst offer

Luckily been given a FT offer at a tier 1 bb in M&A (JPM/MS/GS) for next year. I've also just found out that I have to take a year out, do you think they'd defer my offer by a year or am i dreaming

I’d probably just be honest haha. Sounds like it’s out of your control having to take a year out, and hopefully they’ll understand it’s a weird time and they’ll be lenient. I would highlight being excited about starting and how much you’re looking forward to it. They might like to know how you will spend the next year, maybe line something up so that it isn’t a waste of a year. I know there are lots of opportunities for some community service work if there are no professional options, which would be great to share with them and also good for your development with a dash of good karma. Good luck!

 

They said they couldn’t offer me deferring the job by a year but said they’d be happy to offer me to do the summer internship again in a different team. 
 

I rejected
