Keeping My Head Up...
Never thought I'd be making a post like this but here I am, months down the line in the recruiting process with no Super Days or offers in hand. Had very strong pulls (VP referrals, good connections with HR, etc.) at BB's and a couple other top shops where I genuinely thought I would land the next round, but ended up getting rejected at those respective firms. Reached out to couple of analyst friends who told me to start shifting my attention towards MM's/Boutiques (think Stifel, Union Square Advisors, Stephens, etc.), but part of me wants to keep gunning for those top shops. It seems a bit useless at this point, as a couple of my friends at targets are landing interview after interview, and the eventual offer. Been pretty down on myself the past couple of weeks.
Would appreciate any advice / insight from anyone in the same boat as me or people that have gone through a similar process in the past regarding the best approach to take towards next steps. Thanks.
In the same boat as you. At this point, the chances are slim but keep hustling. Even if you get MM or Boutique for SA 2020, you can still recruit again for FT. Its a grind but would be worth it at the end.
Why can't you do both? If you get an offer at one of those middle market or boutique banks, you can leverage them for accelerated recruiting at those "top shops". It'll make you a more attractive candidate.
You can try for both top shops, no-name boutiques, and everything in the middle. Approach recruiting like a shotgun, and the scattershot will hit something.
