Falsely accused of SA and need advice on how to move forward with recruiting
Edit: I am not here to discuss my legal issues. If you're here to judge me or call me a rap*st save your time. I am looking forward to my day in court to be found not guilty, have the charges expunged, and move on with my life. The accusations made against me are baseless and without merit. The only reason this is still an issue is because covid has consistently delayed the case.
Background:
I'll try my best to be succinct, but I have a lot going on, so bear with me. I don't want to go into any details for obvious reasons. Needless to say, this event has changed my life forever.
School & Internships:
- Nontarget state school, finance major, 3.2 GPA.
- Leadership position in a club, was a finalist in a bunch of finance/business case competitions, and part of the student fund.
- 1 internship at a no-name CRE firm doing economic research and some financial modeling.
Important note:
I suffer from severe ADHD, and it's negatively impacted every aspect of my life. It's also the reason my grades suffered in undergrad. A positive note is that I went from academic probation and almost having to switch majors to the dean's list. I retook some classes I struggled in and got all A's, bringing up my GPA. I started taking ADHD meds, which really helped me turn my life around.
Here's my current plan:
I might just have to apply directly for FT positions which are freaking me out since I don't have any IB/name-brand internships. The worst-case scenario would be a FLDP at a F100 but I would rather be waterboarded than do that.
Do you have any suggestions/alternatives or something else I'm not considering? I really don't know what else to do.
Wishing you the best man. That’s a big problem you’ve got but if you’re patient and have the capacity to go back to school and rebrand it’s just a matter of time before you can make it where you want.
Keep up all that blog and ER stuff to fill the gap at the minute, it’ll give you plenty to talk about and it goes without saying - if it ever crops up in an interview on why you weren’t in school or interning, you’re well with your right to refer to it as a ‘personal complication‘ that is now fully resolved.
Good luck.
OP here: I was found not guilty on all the charges. I wanted to make a point to respond to your comment in particular since you ended it with "I am interested to see how your story unfolds. Well here I am and I'm still fighting strong. Unfortunately with how the job market is right now getting a full time analyst gig is seeming nearly impossible.
"There is what A says, there is what B says and the truth lies somewhere in the middle"
I don't think it's fair to help you here since none of us really know the entire story and are only getting one side.
Did you actually do what your ex is accusing you of?
Innocent before guilty. I would rather let 1000 murders or rapists walk free than let 1 innocent man be guilty.
