Depends on if it's EB or BB. Some BBs have return rate quotas. Most EBs don't. When I summered with my EB group the people who did not get returns genuinely messed up (e.g. bad attitude, not available during reasonable working hours, etc).

Varies by bank and group, but return rates are quite high in IB. Better the devil you know and have tested for 3 months, right?

If you show up, are willing to work and learn, easy to be around, and don't complain if they work you long hours you're totally fine. There are a handful of groups out there with low return rates, but those cut typically have a problem (clear culture/teamwork issue, chronically left early, unresponsive to emails). Show up, work hard, be a sponge and you'll be good to go

 

I once had an MD mark me as nonresponsive since my Skype would show me as away during the day for 5 - 10 min stretches once every few hours as my Wifi would reboot and kick me out of the remote desktop (no company computer as an intern). Probably should have communicated this to them, but the MD themselves never used Skype / were offline themselves 80% of the time and only began messaging me on it once it started showing me as away. No return offer though I was always responsive to email as it came through my phone on data. 

 

do you think that this would be an approp story to tell as to answer why I didn't get a return offer in ft interviews
