dude.
No, you can trade up after your SA (potentially) or lateral after a year or two.
Many people wishing to be in your shoes with the offer on hand. Roll with it and give them a shot
Pretty much one of the stupidest things you could do. If you do in fact end up interviewing with the "better" BB firms they'll ask (1) why you prolonged graduation and (2) if you received an offer prior and then you'll need to explain yourself. Upon hearing your explanation they'll realize this kid is an idiot and then not hire you.
There should really be a 'Face Palm' option when giving someone MS.
That bucket doesnt seem right, one of those banks is not in the same tier...
Yes
