Ponder this...Doesn't make sense to me
Maybe BB's are way to competitive but can you all help me figure out why this happened?
I have a really smart friend who interned at a BB last summer. He did well and got an offer back. He applied to some random recruiting conference organized by another BB on wall street and got rejected.
My friend's resume is so impressive, I shudder sometimes when I read it. He has BB experience and another with a Fortune 200 company. His extracurriculars are also very impressive and he goes to a target. Why in the world was he rejected to this program?
and no, the BB he interned in was not GS.
Maybe your ego got in the way
that's plausible but how? It's not like there was an interview.
Well, think of it from a recruiter's perspective. Who are the recruiters going to invite to a recruiting conference? Candidates that they think are qualified AND would accept a potential offer from the firm. Why invite a superstar with an offer if the person is unlikely to accept the offer? That would be a complete waste of time, effort, and money for the firm.
The BB doesn't know my friend has an offer and they certainly don't know if he liked or hated his experience there. Anyway. Tough luck. No big deal. I guess it is a tough world.
I have heard crazy rumors at my school. This kid had a banking interview at a top BB (GS/MS) and also an interview with Blackstone. He made it to second round with the BB and then they found out he had a first round interview with BX. The BB made him an offer immediatly.
Great story, tell us another!
For what bank was this recruiting conference?
hahaha
to alba, let me get this straight. The kid only had an interview with BS, didn't even have it yet, and the BB gave him an offer off of the basis that he had an interview with a PE firm? That must be a nice life...
The majority of undergrad hires by Blackstone do not work in the PE group.
