I’m so screwed

I did an internship this summer at a top boutique (PWP/Moelis/PJT/Evercore/Lazard) and didn’t get a return due to issues unrelated to my performance. I’ve been trying to FT recruit and haven’t been able to get anything. I’m so screwed and can’t sleep at night.

I get it. This job situation consumes my thoughts as soon as I wake up until when I'm going to sleep. I just want it to be over. I feel sick thinking about the opportunity I lost out on from my bank this summer and wish every day that I could turn back time to early June lol :-)

We need a support group for interns that didn't get offers and need to recruit in this godforsaken job market lmao

 

Like 70% of grads are in the same situation as you. If that makes you feel any better. Onwards and upwards!

 

Could I PM you? I’m in a extreme dilemma similar to your situation

 

Hey man, same situation as you, didn't get a return due to issue unrelated to my performance. I loved the team and they really liked me too. What's worse is that they just told me this week - now I'm just jumping on to FT scene but we'll get through it together!

 

I know the MM firm I’m at (Santander) is recruiting quite actively and so are a few others. If you are applying actively to MM shops there are a few more still open and recruiting.

 

What are the reason? If it’s a fuck up outside of work then that’ll hurt your chances
