Taking day off in Summer internship for Graduation ceremony
So I am a final student now and I have been fortunate enough to get a place in an investment banking summer internship role at one of the large US investment banks. I am super keen to convert immediately and talking to Associates, VP's and my hiring manager that is a possibility. However, around 3 or 4 weeks into my internship, I am due to have my graduation ceremony and my university has it scheduled for a weekday (Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday - this hasn't yet been formalised which day). I personally wouldn't be too bothered about attending but it's more a thing for my parents as I am the first in my family to attend university so it's a big deal for them. I would only be booking a single day off and I think it's for a fair reason, however, I don't want to take any chances.
Has anyone faced a similar problem? Do you think it will play any role in them hiring me?
Thanks in advance.
If you don’t take this off you have your priorities fucked. If the bank/team is worth being at they will understand. Just communicate it ASAP and frame it as though you will work hard to make up for any lost work
Just let them know you have to be out that day for your graduation. Shouldn't be a problem. You need to go to that for your family.
Large investment banks take summer analysts that are seniors?
