Hitting Up a Bank that Fired You Once
Over a decade ago, I was terminated from a BB IB for compliance reasons (classified as gross misconduct) after forwarding work to my personal email. It wasn’t performance-related, and I’ve since built a career in PE and corporate development.
I’m now considering rejoining the same bank, but in a different office (global location) and team. Many or most of my former colleagues have moved on. The only record I still have is an employment reference letter confirming my role, dates, and responsibilities.
My question: given the prior termination, should I avoid this bank altogether? Even if I don’t disclose it when networking, is it likely to resurface at the offer or background-check stage?
I was at JPM went back but too soon 3 years later so if it's been over 7-8 years should be fine but If you fear it or will permanently be looking over your shoulder or it could come back to haunt you...long story short if you have other options take them if not take it and keep looking that way if you need to jump you have options.

you really are a boomer
Sadly. So I now run into JPM people who were not FO elsewhere and if I have to hear one more time where they worked JPM unimpressed. If you say someone does drugs is too old or too young. Also half the banks hire bots or companies to discredit posters ignore them I can prove who I am most lie about their JD or roles. I can't help with internships but I can with VP and above. No jobs guarunteeed want nothing in exchange except pay it forward and no MAGA for me. No political talk no religious and open to diversity of thought and backgrounds.
