London - failed to convert spring- next steps/advice?
Semi-target, woman, had 4 springs - two at BBs such as GS.
I had one chance for conversion. It’s not an official rejection but seems like it is as most offers have been given out. Prepped so fucking hard for technicals which went well & I was kind of rambling due to nerves in my behavioural interview but overall was fine and made a connection with one interviewer. Didn’t realise how much emphasis London BBs place on fit/culture than technicals.
Just wanted to know how shafted I am for summers. I’m very lucky to get springs in the first place but there’s no point in springs if you can’t convert them. Some say it’s a disadvantage putting them on your cv if you can’t convert them.
I want to be positive and move forward but I don’t really know how. I really wished I converted this spring and the fact that I didn’t has made me extremely disappointed.
Don't worry, springs are not the be all and end all. I got an SA at a BB in 2022 after the market went to shit without any springs. You're in a good position.
However, you better hope the market picks up a bit. Many firms for 2023 SA went with almost exclusively their SW converts and those who weren't already had internship expensive.
Are you that girl on TikTok who posted a tiktok saying "stress is addictive" and that your "future depends on this presentation" LMAO
