I’m re recruiting no matter what coming from corporate banking at BB to hopefully MM IB.
If I don’t get a return offer can’t I just say I got one and didn’t accept. Or did accept but it’s not what I want to do ? How would they know ? Are they really going to reach out to my team ?

I mean yea chances are nobody would verify
You could lie and get the job.
Or you could work hard and be honest and know that it was all YOU who got the offer without having to stoop down to get ahead.
Personally prefer the latter.
Ya but like what if u don’t get a job because of something that wasn’t in ur control. My firms group has been performing poorly and aren’t giving the 3 interns offers.
I could explain but it sounds like BS when you do….
Dam sucks to hear. Do interns know yet? This MM or BB?
Just say the firm didn’t give offers
Cuz that’s how things work lol
They’re gonna check bro, esp if it’s a BB
Why do you think you wouldn't get a return offer? Returns in CB are generally a given if competent and BB CB is not a bad place to be. Unless set on PE, MM IB is not always better
Could you just say you opted out of being considered for a return? Would make sense if you knew it wasnt for you
Wouldn’t take the chance. Banking is like a small town, everyone knows everyone to a certain point
I’m just going to say I got one lol what r they gonna do call my group? Or can’t I just say I rejected it ?
People will tell you not to lie. Thats probably the right advice unless someone checks. If you are willing to take the risk just go for it. Look at all the people on Forbes 30U30 who lie and raise $Ms. Even Bill Gates’ daughter turned out to be a fraud. Just understand lying may not work and be OK with that.
The co founder of bill gates’ daughter is an Indian from nova of course she would influence her to grift
If you spend your whole life blaming minorities for not achieving what you want in life, you’ll end up poor, broke, and miserable.

Banks pretty much always check
