rejecting an investment bank offer

Hi All,

I have signed an contract with an investment bank but later on I would like to reject. Do you guys know if I will be backlisted for my life with that investment back?

The reason I would like to reject is because the job isn't really I would like to work on and my company(not ibank) has given me a counter-offer which I really would like to take. (Mainly due to the nature of the work)

Disregard the norm of "not accepting offer", what should I do?

Many Thanks

 

You will be blacklisted from that firm for a few years, but I highly doubt that would apply to other firms.

How the fuck did you get an offer with that grammar?

If you can't proofread your post to WSO to make it somewhat understandable, how are you going to survive an IBD internship where your MD is going to throw a stapler at you for an extra space in the PowerPoint you prepared at 3am?

I agree with the above post, if its Goldman vs. an 8-person boutique shop... sure... reneg. But, if its JPM over MS, or one group over another... probably not worth it. Is this S.A. or FT?

Why did you accept to begin with?

Guys, i just typed it using my iphone when I was on the move and I was confuse at the moment. Talking about the blacklist, is it something really exist? How long the record is kept?

thanks

i hope you're still typing with your iphone. i will give you the benefit of the doubt.
