How did you get a BB offer and not think to Google this question that’s been previously answered with extreme detail
Threads are out dated, convention/etiquette might have changed.
It seems like 2-3 other people in this thread are also curious.
You forgot to make your own bump anonymous, but I agree that new info would b helpful.
I was an SA in 2018 at a BB on the West Coast and lateraled to a FT role at a BB in Chicago.
I think the main thing you have to do is network -- if you interviewed at any bigger shops / have a chance to meet folks at better shops, just keep in touch throughout the summer and let them know you'd be interested in joining FT if a role pops up.
From my experience, these FT ANL roles from SAs not getting / accepting offers are generally filled via networks versus wide job postings; so, networking is very important.
Was there a BB you felt you were close with that you still have good relationships with? For me, I had a super day with my eventual FT bank and didn't make the final cut. But, kept in touch with analysts and eventually one of their SAs didn't get an offer and I interviewed for that spot (and got it). So that would be the beginning of my short list for you (BBs you interviewed with), then tap into your wider network to put out feelers throughout the summer.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the write up.
Are people fairly respectful of not turning it around on you and "snitching" (for lack of a better word) to your firm that you're trying to recruit elsewhere for FT?
Depends on who you are talking to, but I wouldn't outright mention you are looking to re-recruit on Day 1 of your internship.
Keep the network open and maybe ask your contacts for calls under the guise of wanting an 'outside perspective' of how your internship is going / wanting to ask questions to an unbiased source.
Then when you get closer to getting your offer you can be a bit more direct, and once you do get an offer is when you can outright say "I got a return offer, but wanted to check if you had any spots to fill".
Getting a return offer is a must if you want to re-recruit, so make that your primary focus rather than recruiting. In other words, no bank is going to take you seriously as a candidate if you failed to secure a return offer, so frankly, it doesn't matter if they know you are recruiting until you get the offer.
So to sum, you don't really need to mention you are recruiting until you have the offer, just network a bit so you have connectivity to your desired banks at the end of summer, so when you do get an offer, you can leverage that without the risk of losing the offer.
