Should I accept this offer for 2021 SA?
Recently received an offer from KeyBanc Capital Markets in their TMT group. Want to know if it's worth it to accept this offer or should I wait out more firms to open up? I'm from a non-target background but have networked extensively at some top banks and am hopeful. Is it worth to turn down an offer just to take a chance on getting another offer?
My biggest concern is the fact that PE recruiting is very weak from KeyBanc and it also doesn't hold the same level of brand name/prestige as some other firms. Thoughts?
Don't accept it. Prestige is all that matters in life.
Dude, you're on WSO. Don't act like you came here for help. People only come on this website to brag about themselves.
what are you specifically looking for here? it’s all about risk tolerance.
you’re recruiting for internships during a global pandemic/recession...not to mention the fact that you attend a non-target school, and are trying to get a job in a prestige-driven industry.
roll the dice if you want...but if I were you, I would take the internship, be grateful, and grind to earn a full-time seat.
in the words of an MD from my school that I networked with significantly: “whether it’s here or elsewhere, take a seat wherever you can get one.”
