Should you write you already have an offer on your CV?

With recruitment in London just starting, but I guess it applies to the US as well: if you already have an offer for another Bank from converting your Spring Week, should you write it on your CV or not say it? How might HR look at that? Offer is from the same division as application.

No, comes off as you have a large ego. Imo only leverage your offer if its bc you have a deadline you have to respond to and you would rather work at the firm you haven't heard from. No need to flex an offer on a resume, people wont take it well.

If you do decide to leverage it, email HR and say "Hey I have an offer from a competing firm but I would like to work for this firm. Any ideas on when a response will come in from your end" etc etc

 

Hey, I was wondering if you give me a bit of insight on this. Could I use my spring week conversion offer for leverage when summer applications open, for example using it as an exploding offer situation to get an interview quicker? I have received a front-office offer, but it's within wealth management. Would this help for ER applications, would I actually get quicker interviews? 

Also, another question, as I see you work in buy side equities, that's my goal one day, I have written an equity research report on a company myself. Where should I put this on my CV? For now I'm thinking of putting it as a separate section under 'additional information' at the bottom. To keep that bullet to 1 line, I've not gone into detail and am just hoping the interviewer just talks to me about it that way

 

What if the offer you received was in a different division, then when you apply to summers in a different division, surely it would look good if you got a BB return offer, even though it's different to the goal role?
