Gap year? Or gap semester?
Hello-- in need of some advice here. Worked at a middle market firm this past summer, but no returns to my team due to poor economic outlook and uncertainty. I found this out late, and have struggled in the recruiting process. I have a strong network and have people looking to circle back for any openings that may pop up. However, I am thinking of taking my final semester off and graduating next fall, so I will be in the 2024 cycle. Might want to teach/ volunteer abroad or pick up another internship in the meantime.
Is this a bad idea? I think an extra year will give me another chance to recruit better for FT positions.
Thanks for any insight
Additional info: I am class of 2023, scheduled to graduated this spring. If I take this Spring sem off, I will postpone my graduation for Fall 2024
Depends do you currently have a solid FT / SA offer and are you from a target?
Unhelpful. Address his points or STFU
Yeah I’m sure your comment was very helpful and value-add to the OP. Gtfo
Non-target, only offer has been rescinded due to changes in staffing needs
Sorry to hear that man. I think it may be better from my opinion to graduate on time and continue to recruit and try to land something decently leveragable.
Most economists predict that the recession will start towards the later half of 2023 so highly doubt hiring conditions will be any better and will likely be worse.
Most people delay grad for SA opps but too late for that now. Plus I think currently ft recruiting is still doable
I would never disqualify a candidate for taking a year off after school to find themselves.
Thank you for the note.
Was supposed to graduate in 2022 of June, but was unable to land IB In 2021 summer, therefore I took a extra year recruited and got into BB IB now will graduate in 2023
