Should I delay my graduation?
I have gotten a BB back office (Finance) offer from my summer. I am graduating in 2021 from a target school. However, I still wish to start a career in a revenue-generating role. I have been networking and trying to apply graduate full-time positions but had no luck. Should I just take up this BO offer and try to network into front office in the future, or should I delay my graduation to get myself another chance of graduation program application for 2022?
The advantages of delaying graduation are another chance of recruitment and an additional semester internship to improve my resume. Also, I felt that the "back office to front office" scenario is more possible when I am still a student (as compared to a full time back office analyst). The risk is that I may not end up in a front-office position after all. The covid has hit the job market bad and many banks had ceased their full time hire this year... I am not sure if the situation can become better next year. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If it were earlier in the year and you were going to recruit for 2021 SA, then I would say yes to delaying graduation if you landed an offer. In this case, you already missed out on SA recruitment and would have to recruit for FT next year, which is a crapshoot, especially from a BO role. In this case, I wouldnt.
Hi, thank you so much for your reply. Initially, I wanted to try full time recruitment but I didn't know it was so bad this year... Guess I have missed the chance. Do you have any advice to me for networking into front office?
