Delaying graduation by a year for IB?
Going to give minimal details to preserve anonymity. I was in the hospital, injured, and/or unable to recruit from March to June this year. I go to a target school, am a good/prepared student, and was expecting to land a top BB/EB IB. At this point, pretty much the only BB left is DB (if you can even call it that anymore). I want to go buyside after banking and I feel like going to a lower-tier MM bank like those that are left would hurt me. Should I attempt to recruit for DB and/or the few decent opportunities still left or delay graduation by a year. I'm not really delaying since I ended up withdrawing last semester but I could graduate in 3.5 years without an issue. I really really want to wait a year because I know that I will land something good for SA if I wait but I feel like I am being stupid and giving up a massive opportunity cost of that extra year of IB income / starting early. Thoughts?
I did it at a non target. I do recommend it.
Now if you could do something even better w that extra year like go abroad a semester, intern off cycle, take grad level classes. SOMETHING.
Have you already had your summer analystship?
I have a relevant private equity internship for this summer which I am currently completing. I will have the opportunity to study abroad and/or intern off cycle as well, which is another option to do with that 10th semester (if I choose to graduate in 9 semesters).
Can second that, I did the same from a non target. Went from maybe managing to scrape a bottom-tier MM shop to landing a mid-tier BB. So happy I made the decision I did. Find something else that interests you (that you can take a few classes for) and take a lighter class load of your core classes. Or take a semester off to do an internship or other job full time. If anything, delaying a year will give you a competitive advantage over other interns next year since you will have had an extra year to study and break in. Good luck!
Was at a non-target and ended up having to delay graduation. Worked out very well for me. Got an extra year to be a kid, ended up at great BB, and love it. Would recommend if tuition costs are not an issue - good luck!
