Graduate a quarter late or give up junior year internship?
Due to family problems, I will not be able to complete my degree in 4 years. I could either take summer classes this year and forgo my junior year internship or take summer classes after my senior year and graduate a quarter late. If I intend to work at a MM bank, which should I do? I'm afraid that I would not get a full time offer after my internship since I would not be able to go to training right after I graduate.
Details bro, we'll need them to give you advice.
That said I'd lean towards the internship, it doesn't really matter if you graduate a quarter late. If anything, you'll be on campus to participate in full time recruiting with the kids graduating in the class after you.
Graduating a Semester Later to get BB I-Banking Summer Internship? (Originally Posted: 11/17/2007)
Any thoughts? Is this worth it? Will recruiters look down upon you if you got rejected for full time?
I've read your posts before. I personally think you would be better off attempting to get a full-time analyst position at a MM bank, work your butt off, and then trying to lateral to a better bank.
but then he'd be in the thread "how do i sneak out for interviews" and you'd be yelling with everyone else that going from one bank to a slightly better one is a waste. So you're basically getting him stuck at a bank he doesn't want to work at.
Personally, I'd graduate a semester later.
graduate late for another summer internship?? (Originally Posted: 10/10/2012)
Hi Everyone~
As i feel the on-campus recruiting is wrapping up, I don't know how to proceed with my job hunting...
some facts about me: 1) non-resident on F1 Visa; 2) senior of a top 15 lac - with weak career services; 3) currently attending an ivy as a visiting student - could leverage its career services; 4) computer science and econ double major; 5) two summer internships in a BB middle/back office role.
I was planing to exchange at the ivy for one semester and graduate from my school next May. However, since I enjoy the new school very much and my job hunting isn't so successful so far, I'm thinking of spending another semester at this ivy (and graduate late one semester from my own school), hoping I could secure a summer internship from its career services.
do you think it's worth it?? Thank you very much!
i think graduating later is beneficial, however this is from a European perspective. I don't not if people who stay longer in the U.S. are somehow stigmatized. You may want to check that, because "slow learner" or "slacker" is not exactly the kind of attributes you'd want to signal.
