Renege EB summer offer for a BB?

Anyone done this before? Is it a bad idea?

Has anyone you know of reneged Evercore/CVP/PJT for GS/MS/JPM or the other way around? How did it go?

What about PWP/MoCo for BAML/Citi? What would be a trade that would be “worth” it, in your opinion?

Any insights appreciated. Thank you!

I reneged an EB for GS/MS/JPM, worth it for me personally but wouldn't recommend for everyone.

 

Its a personal choice of EB vs BB, I personally knew I wanted a BB experience and thus chose the BB offer. I would say if the only thing you care about is PE exit opps than any EB will be just fine. Renegging as its not as heinous as some people make it out to be is still not optimal, you just don't want to do it if you can avoid it. 

 

Not surprising that firm he left blacklisted him -- I think you have to assume that that will almost always be the case. More important issue seems to be will the firm you are going to care that you reneged on another firm.
