FT recruitment without an RO
how does this work? at a NY BB but currently recruiting for SF MMs in entirely different coverage groups for personal reasons, could I just lie and say I got an RO? Or would they check?

Don’t lie
I’m boutta lie lmao
You have to read the person beforehand. If they seem like they dont give a fuck, then lit it rip, baby
They check lol. Famous case of this during our PE hiring process some kid lied about his summer. Was at a great bank FT, could’ve said he didn’t get return and we wouldn’t care. This stuff will fuck you down the line.
What if I was told I’d need a return to ft recruit at a specific shop
