Is it worth to postpone?

Hey guys,

I will be doing S&T this upcoming summer (2021) at a BB in NYC. I am set to graduate in April 2022. 

I started recruiting for IB internships for summer 2022 because of the exit opportunities and my interest in banking. I'm really not that excited about S&T. Over the past few weeks I have received a few IB offers. If I accept, I will postpone my graduate to December 2022, in order to be eligible for the internships.

I would like some career advice-- I want to do Corp. Fin long term. Do you think that I should accept one of these IB offers (MM & EB) and postpone my life a year, or should I just graduate and make the most of my S&T offer?

Is it possible to lateral to banking from S&T after a couple years?

 

I was in a similar situation as you, had an offer at a MM for IB but long term knew I wanted to do PE so decided to postpone a semester to recruit again for 2022 SA.

Best decision of my life, I currently have an offer from a top EB and have a Superday with an MF for a SA position soon. If I get the MF or even sign with the EB my career trajectory has changed dramatically just by delaying one semester.
