Hi WSO,
I was lucky enough to land a SA position in IB at a BB in NY (yes, HR and the team are aware, agreed with my reasoning that doing an SA is the best pipeline to land a FT job in IB).
Of course, my #1 priority is to get a return offer for this particular team, and work for this BB FT (they said if they like me I would just stay on the team and continue in September, most likely).
However, return offers are usually given in the last week of the internship, likely late August. So, if for some reason they don't like me and I don't get a return offer, I'd be out a job and likely in a tough position to recruit elsewhere.
My question is: how do you guys suggest I go about this? I know that landing a FT job at another bank requires sufficient networking, but I don't want my team to find out about this and think that my priority is to work at a different bank (as this will likely hurt my reputation and my chances of receiving a return). I also don't want to focus on networking elsewhere because that will take away from time on the job and lead to lower productivity.
Any tips would help.
It is fairly common in Europe for graduating seniors to enter as SA. Nothing really you can do at this point. How did you pass the CV screening?
Fear not. Lock it in, lock it in baby. Don't distract yourself from the SA by applying/hedging at other places.
Thanks for the motivation.
