Picking a Sophomore Year Offer

Not sure how it works at other firms, but I know you still need to be pretty good to be asked back. I did a sophomore summer and was asked back. Another sophomore in the bank did not get asked back. I've heard good stuff about JPM from a friend who did the Honors program, though. Also a friend did Citi and is going back this year, but I have no clue about MS or GS.

Do GS. The experience will look great on your resume for next year's recruiting if you do not get asked back.

Maybe I'm crazy here, but depending on the job at Google I would be inclined to take that. Obviously you have a great set of options sitting in front of you, and you really can't go wrong with GS, JPM, or Google.

with those offers as a sophomore you don't need to worry about anything. Pick whatever you want.

wow, good job. take the gs one. it beats google by a long shot if you want finance. i seriously don't understand why google is looked so highly upon. yes, it is a great programming job, but unless you are there as a programmer or in corp dev, it's probably not that great working in a support role in their finance dep.

gs will really speak on your resume regardless of offer or no offer. not that i would really know as a student though.

wow that's a lot of offers for a market like this...congrats. Which school do you go to? And what was the position offered by Google? Corporate finance, or some tech related position?

you heard from Citi already? when?

i agree with oxbridge take MS if its for their sophomore rotational if gs is IBD, take it, otherwise do MS

Do people like rotational programs, I keep trying to consider what I would get out of it. Is it enough time in each area to get to know people and make the networks needed to come back. GS isn't IBD - but GS is a rotational as well.

And to quag_mire, I go to a target and the Google is in the Finance department. Honestly though a banking job is probably better its just that Google treats its employees so well and being out West in a totally different environment would be cool.

I heard from Citi because I interviewed in the Fall during the Study Abroad cycle

What do you have on your resume? Or is there anything in particular that you think got you the first rnd interviews and eventually the offers. Whats ur current GPA if you don't mind me asking

I spent my freshman year going to all the recruiting events to meet recruiters and professionals just because my parents both told me next year will be tough for recruiting. So I think knowing that many people in the companies gave me an edge in that when HR and everyone are looking at that many resumes, having someone they know makes it a lot easier. And when multiple people in the company know you its easier.

may I ask what your JP Morgan interviews especially for the superday were like? Thanks!
