IB Offer Shopping Experiences

Hey guys,

I would love some stories from people that interned at one bank and worked FT at different bank. Info like: where you interned (MM/EB/BB), where you interviewed for FT and how many firms, where you ended up, and your reasoning. Share your timeline, interview process/questions differences, struggles and successes.

Funny stories are a plus, much appreciated!
