Is this normal for a IB to do?
Is it normal for an investment bank to rescind my offer when I had simply inquired about the possibility of delaying the start date so that I can study for the required license exams and be better prepared technically so that I would be able to hit the ground running (am a fresh college grad). This was for a small boutique.
Is this a red flag regarding the company or is it on me for inquiring about the possibility to delay the start date? Have never come across this situation before with other job offers and most companies tend to check in with me at least before making such drastic moves such as rescinding.
Buddy you’re expected to come join the group along with the rest. Enough time allotted for everyone. These types of arrangements and wfh dynamic have destroyed the culture. Unfortunately, you’re the red flag in this case.
There was no analyst group as it is a small boutique (30 employees). I would be the only analyst on the team and the boutique doesn't really provide any training...
That’s def not normal if you just ask
Yeah all I did was simply inquired about whether a delayed start would be a possibility. I had never mentioned that I needed to have a delayed start or gave any indication that a delayed start was a firm requirement for me.
During the interview process, they had also mentioned that they would give me a modeling test as part of the interview process but never did so and just extended an offer so I kind of had a feeling that they just wanted see if I was any good on the job and, if not, they would just fire me.
You blew yourself up and now are looking to blame someone. Even more so the case of a small shop - they need someone they will be able to depend on, not someone who’s looking for excuses before starting. Study, take exams now… man how someone fresh out so uninspired to get going…
Looks like the boutique made a good call rescinding your offer. You made a request in poor judgement and they had a feeling you were out of tune maturity wise. You post here asking if what you asked for was in poor judgment thus confirming you currently lack professional maturity.
I've heard of people delaying their start date due to unforseen circumstances and it didn't lead to a rescinded offer. Not sure how common it is tho
