F*cked, F*cked, and More F*cked

I am currently entering my 4th year at a target in Canada (Queen's/Ivey). For 3rd year summer, I was able to break into the US at a particularly sweaty EB. I overestimated the toll that it would take on my body so did not get a FT offer. I have been wallowing in self-pity and have not been on the lookout for FT postings.

Does anyone know when the globals or Big 5 tend to post FT positions? Will I be looked down upon because I did not get a return? I was thinking about not even mentioning it, but that might come back to bite me in the ass.

Pretty sure globals are already done/analyst classes are full. No idea what’s happening with big 5 but given the pretty low/mid return offer rates not sure if they are looking to hire new grads unless the people that didn’t get return offers were just bad.

 

You’re still in a better position than 99% of people at queens/ivey currently looking for a job. You’ve got over a year to recruit and get something. Keep in touch with people, keep networking, enjoy final year and be ready when the interviews come
