Can I get back in the mix for a FT offer?

I recently got rejected from a MMB. Throughout the recruiting process I felt everything went right - I got on the phone with the recruiting team, crushed the interviews, and had strong conversations with people at the firm. After the SD I felt extremely confident and continued to network with bankers within the respective group. Tbh I'm not really sure where it went south. For more context - I have experience in PE and another MMB in the same group that is a direct competitor with the firm I was interviewing at.

I am curious if anyone has ever had the experience of getting rejected and then being reconsidered for a FT offer after a process. Any insight would be greatly appreciated (apologies for the ramble)

No. This happens sometimes. Gotta keep moving, onto the next opportunity.

If you got all the technicals and thought the superday went well, it was likely a behavioral fit issue. Someone didn't like you - often it's one senior who says no and the others don't feel that strongly about you to fight him on it.

Also continuing to network post-superday is kind of unusual, I wouldn't do that fyi. The decision is made within an hour of you leaving the superday, even if you get an offer 3 days later that's a logistics issue not a decision issue.
