Two scenarios:
- Signing an offer then calling them back a few months later to tell them you decided to go to another company (I heard it can be sugar coated by saying something like I decided to go to graduate/law school)
- Receiving an offer but kindly rejecting w/o signing within the two week period they give you to decide
If I ever, in the far future, wanted to work for those companies, would I be blacklisted?
No, you won't be blacklisted. Who are you listening to where you think this could happen?
My parents and career coach. Last year I got two SA offers at BB. I picked one over the other. But the one I picked didn't give me mobility so I signed my return offer but think I'm going to call them back and reject if I get a better one or into grad school.
One of my mentors work in a HR role and she told me if you word it properly and give a compelling reason, you won't be blacklisted, but if you say that you'll be joining another firm, then they won't take to kindly to that. I would just come up with a good excuse (lie) if the case is that you'll be going to another firm
Blacklisted if you get rejected in the application process? (Originally Posted: 05/01/2017)
Hey guys, I would like to test my luck and send out some apps to some BB's, if I get rejected directly (not even invited to first round), am I banned for like 6 months or even for ever or could I easily reapply again?
I am from Europe by the way
Short answer: no. If your experience improves or someone else likes your resume down the line - things could work out.
It could make it a quick "no" in the future if the resume is that awful though
Or even if you got barely rejected and somebody else reneged. Happens to some folks.
Are there any companies that you think you are blacklisted from? (Originally Posted: 09/10/2013)
I have two. At this one particular firm, I interviewed there twice and I bombed one of the interviews after going through unofficial channels. The relationship ended on a sour note and I think they probably kept a note or something in their recruiting system. I think that put me on the blacklist. Heard the culture at the firm sucks anyway. I recently applied to the company again because I saw a new opening and got a rejection email a day later. Not planning to apply to these companies for a very long from now on.
I am blacklisted at almost every firm everywhere.

Yeah, I will never do banking at one of the big 4.
congrats, that's quite an accomplishment!
