Take the next week and a half to regroup and reset your mental. Meet up with friends and family. Make sure you get a good reason why u didnt return and go hard once you are mentally over it.

Just curious, are you able to lie and say you’ve received a return offer? How would they know/find out
By asking members on his team? Its a very small world
Yeah as much as you should take some time to reset, full-time recruiting will be a bloodbath with very few spots available. I’d start networking immediately and brush up on interview prep
getting into "game-ready" mode is a must in this environment. would never lie about getting a return offer but would spin it so that it is viewed under a more positive light.
How often do interviewers buy such spin?
How do you know you aren't going a return? Ignore the title, but am doing staffing at another firm and we don't even have headcount ideas, so kind of wondering how you already know you aren't getting the return.
Some firms/groups already gave out returns
Roundtable happened and you can easily tell if you are the top bucket intern
Is this Canada or the US?
