Hey,
Received and signed a contract for FT 2021 at a BB.
Due to COVID, and the special circumstances we are currently living with, is there a possibility of them taking back the offer, based on a worst-case scenario of further stagnation in the industry? In my country, the law gives the employer 1-3 months of notice to cancel the employment before starting.
Anyhow, what has (according to your experience) been reasons for taking back a FT offer?
Asking as I want to know the industry game and how it really works.
Hope I was clear. Thank you very much.
Is networking really that important as people make it to be?
As a Partner at Blackstone, I'd say so.
Ha. Thanks. I’ll be your analyst/associate one day:)
How did you navigate FT recruiting without an SA position? And what did you do for junior summer?
