Got a great offer but feeling disillusioned
I'm a sophomore at a target. A month ago I signed with a BB (BofA/Citi), but I can't help but feel depressed about it. I had two superdays that I blew, one at GS and one at an EB (EVR/PJT/MOE), and I really did think I would convert one of them.
I literally put everything into my recruitment process and seeing the folks from my school who got similar offers to me, I know that I worked harder than them and deserved something better.
Anyone have any advice for how to move past these feelings? Also, how hard is it to re-recruit FT from BofA/Citi to a top BB or EB?

that's just life, there's going to be an element of luck throughout the rest of your life no matter how hard you prep, also banking recruiting is notoriously unfair, you're going against 10,000+ kids who have the same pedigree as you, worked hard, have great grades, etc.....it's very difficult to distinguish yourself through interviews when everybody looks so similar so you just have to be happy that you landed at a great bank, the real assessment is when you hit the desk and the quality of work you produce from there
Relax. I've worked at a top BB, a mid/low BB and a boutique over the course of my career. There really isn't that much of a difference between the firms you listed. If you get into a top group and work with good people at BAML/Citi you'll be fine, so focus on that.
And yes, re-recruiting / switching banks is always possible when coming from a BB, but you see it a lot more when there is lots of deal activity.
