Botched last job in IB...can I break back in?
Did 2 years at an NYC BB as a post-MBA associate. First year was great....second, not so much. Without going into detail, basically I had a divorce and death in the family at the same time and decided I wanted out. I quit about 5 months ago.
Now that everything is resolved and I feel like a functional human being again, I want to get back in the game. I have a solid background — Ivy League undergrad, T10 MBA, veteran — but don’t know if I’m going to be able to overcome explaining this gap. I know I can do the job well. I will literally take any position on the east coast, at any level — I’m willing to start over as a 1st year associate or even 3rd year analyst if someone will give me a shot. Can it be done?
I would start with reaching out to people in your BB. I'm sure before leaving you explained what the reason for it was. If your first year was great, you had good relationships with senior people, and you quit in an amicable manner + your second year wasn't too horrible, I could see them giving you another shot.
You were already there, so I don't see why you think you won't do it once more. As for explaining the gap - be honest and tell why things happened. Repeating what was told before me, talk with your former bank.
