Graduating senior with nothing lined up here. You did the right thing in accepting the offer. I hope no one gives you any moral spiel here.

Just find the best strategy to do this right. (I believe this will be further complicated if you already received the signing bonus)

Feels terrible to not have a job lined up. No one should fault you for accepting the offer.

 

I've been in a similar situation before. I would say go with your heart.Think also that you're saving yourself years of "what ifs". Go with your gut and intuition. Everything will work itself out! Goodluck

 

Do you already have an IBD offer or are you still interviewing?

It's always better to have an offer signed and renege later for something better. If you get an IBD offer, don't tell the the IBD firm about the MO offer and vice versa.

Accept the IBD offer. Renege the MO offer.

Quam ipsam iusto sit repudiandae velit. Omnis eos est fuga omnis deleniti deserunt ratione.
