Graduating a Year Early ?
To those in the industry now,
What do you think of me graduating 1 year early?
I will have one 6 month micro-boutique investment banking internship where, so far, I have been able to garner a lot of experience and knowledge
I am likely to get a return offer for this firm but I also want to pursue other options - how do you think I’ll fare in FT recruiting with only one, but a solid, internship
Non target
3.8 gpa
Thanks
I was also at a non-target and tried to do the same thing. I ended up getting a return for a bank that I didnt like so I did another year and now am entering a top BB. It comes down to whether you know you can get the offer that you want in the bank you want- if you can then go for it (considering you dont mind losing a year a free youth)
Just curious, but would you be able to share what comp was like at the bank you didn’t like?
And what else didn’t you like about it
And thanks for the response
same comp 85k with like 15-20k bonus- just didnt like where it would have brought me in terms of career- it wasnt IBD and thats what I really wanted- I rolled the dice, did antoher year and got what I wanted. If you already have IBD at a solid bank its a no brainer- graduate early
in this environment why in the world would you want to enter during a recession. on top of that you want to do full time recruiting which will be pretty much non existent. just give yourself an extra year of school and get to a top bank. that will put you much further ahead than graduating a year early
