Early Offer?
So I'm a rising senior- I've been lucky enough to get a full-time offer from a pretty good firm (a BB). They have given me a hard deadline of September 28 to decide. However, I'd still like to explore better options. Unfortunately, the recruiting at my school doesn't really start until October.
My questions:
-
Is this a common practice for BBs (or even finance companies in general) to give exploding offers so early in the recruiting process? Is this even fair?
-
What can I do to buy more time/ interview with other companies quicker?
Thanks!
My BB offer also exploded early. Honestly, what else are you going to look for? JPM vs Citi? BB is BB at the end of the day, It's not like you're talking about some backwater boutique versus Goldman.
Firms that recruit through OCR usually honor your schools standard deadline...if not...you should try to talk to someone
Talk to your Career Services office - many schools actually protect their students and require firms to follow a single "sign by" date, regardless of the context of the offer (ie from campus recruiting or following an internship). They can then get in touch with your BB and update them on protocol.
Whether your BB contacts and HR will be happy you are going to need more time to make a decision is another story...
I go to a top target (Ivy), and there aren't many BB recruiting for IB or S&T on campus for FT this year. Heard similar stories at other target schools.
Even if you manage to jump to other BB, you might be place in less desirable group than you current offer.
