Accelerated Process Advice
Am non-target, non-diverse SA 23 candidate - sent hundreds of emails, worked hard to network at several firms like many of you - have had one Superday with a MM/UMM firm (Blair, Piper, Baird) that resulted in an ECM offer (was 1st on hold list for M&A) - the MD said I could get involved on some M&A deals and that is common to move to M&A after a period of time (1-2 years) if that was my longer term interest and performed well in the ECM role. I was called Friday about a SuperDay for a LMM (Truist, KEY, Stephens) M&A role that is supposed to take place in mid-May - I may just have a week on the initial offer so am curious to see if its reasonable to ask for accelerated process - I dont necessarily want to pass up an offer in hand, especially with solid MM firm that will help me get in the business…thanks all.
Hey man, congrats on the offer! It's definitely okay and reasonable to accelerate your other processes (assuming you didn't say something like you would sign immediately to your interviewers), so I would hit up all firms for which you're in the process and let them know about your exploding offer while reiterating your interest for that firm. If they do accelerate candidates and like you enough, they might offer you an accelerated process. Good luck!
Agree nothing to lose.
Ask for acceleration if and only if you are interested in the LMM. Otherwise you may end up having to say no to the LMM after asking for an acceleration.
It’s a good point….is hard because their process is somewhat group/location dependent and includes DCM, ECM and M&A, not sure I would be interested in all groups so is tricky - likely only interested in M&A and perhaps 1-2 of their industry groups.
Imma PM you, very similar spot
