No return offer - feeling like a failure is an understatement
I feel so gutted and that is an understatement. Basically I was told during mid summer I was a top performer. I then unfortunately didn’t do very well on my final presentation. I was dealing with some personal issues which I’m not using an excuse but an explanation. I was barely sleeping (I was spinning my wheels like a maniac) and trying to perfect every little thing in my presentation (in the materials I submitted) that in hindsight I should’ve spent that time on maybe actually practicing presenting or practicing my conceptual understanding.
That got me cut.
I guess it’s the name of the game, but I cannot help but think how I was a great and proactive asset on my deal teams (which has been corroborated), spent so much time getting to know people, tried so hard to meet the bar despite not coming from a finance major background, and my project is what ultimately got me cut. My group had like a 50% ro conversion.
I feel super dejected. I worked so hard to get here and while I really enjoyed the work (truly I did), and I’d love to work in the industry FT, I also want to be realistic and don’t wanna fit a circle peg into a square hole. I feel like I’m almost embarrassing myself.
Looking for some advice, or stories, I guess. I just wanted to vent or hear from people who have gone through similar instances.
Wow, are you me? This is exactly the boat that I am in. Im so sorry, it’s such an awful feeling. Would love some advice as well.
Yeah this fucking sucks, feel like I could’ve done better but several people clearly came in with the upper hand politically, and that gap only widened even with persistent intros w/ my team. Combined with little reps and several failed deals just leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth. I knew it was coming but how can my future be decided on ~2-3 weeks of work that actually mattered.
Same situation man, don’t let this be a reflection of yourself. This is just a job, and those are just their opinions at the end of the day. We gotta prove them wrong
Guessing this is Wells Fargo, very similar situation. Cuts in my group made no sense
