Hey, question for both those who didn’t convert and full-time bankers who have seen it happen. What was the main reason someone didn’t get a return offer? Have you ever seen a summer intern turn things around after a rough start and still end up converting? Is it really that difficult to convert?

Full time recruiting cycle of doom and despair is what happened
For EU folks - what did you do?
Off cycles? Masters + re recruit for summers?
1) Do a master and try again summer internship
2) if not possible, try off cycle internships and full-time roles
What sometimes happen is people do a PE off cycle internship (which usually does not convert) and then realise that it makes interviewing for banks even harder as now they need to explain 1) why they could not convert their summer and 2) why they will not leave to PE as soon as they can
