Negotiating FT offer
Interning in IB in tier 2 city (Chicago/LA) at a bank where bonuses have fallen despite extremely strong years since I signed my offer – around $20k. Is there any room to negotiate my signing bonus once I get the FT offer or should I just re-recruit.
Was told in my mid summer review I was ranked as the top intern – won’t specify how the ranking system works for anonymity – and I’ve been doing ~80% of my analysts work. Personally feel I am materially above the other interns technically and I think it’s clear to the team as well. Additionally, the banks past FT hires are not strong and I am confident the trend would follow if they FT recruit for my class – again, won’t specify reasons for anonymity but the group has become less desirable.
I’ve had 5 previous internships in IB/PE (2 were kind of bs underclassmen internships), but was at a MMPE firm last summer and received a verbal return for FT + they’ve reached out to gauge my interest in the past couple of months.
I’m confident I could re-recruit and have had connections at other banks reach out to me about the idea, but really like the bank I’m at and I’d only re-recruit for the money so would rather get it at the bank I’m at. I realize much of this comes off as arrogant but the only threads I’ve seen about this are people shitting on interns asking the same question with no good advice
Rerecruit
Congrats on Blair
