Is this a red flag?
I interviewed with a large MM bank and received a lateral analyst offer after just one ~30 minute interview with 3 members of the team (2 directors and 1 VP). For context, I do have around 1.5 years of solid, relevant experience at pretty reputable firms and this MM bank isn't exactly top-tier (or anywhere close) by any means.
Given how "easy" it was to get this offer, is that a red flag? Should I decline the offer based on "how easy it was to get the offer"?
Thanks in advance!
You absolutely should reject the offer if the seniors you’d work for expressed their interest and want for you to join their team such that they conducted such an efficient and not frustrating interview process instead of putting you through 9 rounds and then ghosting
Is this in NY?
If you don't like it you can pass the offer to me, I'd be happy to join after one interview lol
On a serious note, try talking to current/former team members to get info on culture etc.
I went through two easy processes before. One was an internship and the other was for a FT job. Both situations ended up being a disaster. It sounds like you went through a process which is good but if you feel that they’re hiring purely based on desperation it could be a bad situation. Happy to elaborate more.
Hey, thanks for your comment. Would you mind elaborating on why those jobs were a disaster specifically and also also what type of firms were they (don’t need specific names or anything, just general description is fine (e.g., large bank, small boutique, etc)?
Thanks in advance! Hope things ultimately worked out for the better for you.
