My first offer
I just finished up my freshman year of college with 3 IB superdays lined up. I just did my first one yesterday and got a call last night telling me i got the offer. My official letter came in this afternoon and everything feels so unreal. 6 months ago I didn’t even know what investment banking was, I just knew I wanted to help ppl and I had some really influential mentors that made me aware of opportunities in finance. In February I started putting everything I had into learning more about the industry, technical prep, and networking. I feel like I’m gonna wake up any minute, I feel like I’m gonna cry tears of joy (no homo). I did NOT expect this in my wildest dreams with how hard everyone told me this was.
Hard work pays off! Cringe move but I had framed my first ever offer letter on my wall.
I remember one of my early networking calls I said I was interested in IB, the person asked me which division I was interested in, I didn't even know the diff division just reiterated I wanted to work in IB lol.
Tbh that’s not too cringe. I might do the same LMAO. Thank you!
Also, I use Robinhood pretty frequently and read the official compliance stuff in my offer letter. Does this mean I can’t use brokerage accounts anymore or that they need to be monitored? I’d rlly like some clarity on this!
What?
LMAO in an advisory sense. Like providing ppl with insight to help them make strategic decisions ie creating models/ powerpoints for clients to see potential strategies.
Congrats on the offer BTW! I hope you can maintain the perspective to try to help people, your coworkers as well, not just your clients.
Many of us shared this same sentiment before actually joining the industry. This is only your summer going into soph year? Rise above and go buyside by the time you graduate. Congrats - these early offers are few and far between.
So like consulting?
Congrats. When I got my offer I couldn’t contain the excitement
I rlly can’t contain it. When do you recommend posting abt it on LinkedIn. I heard you’re not supposed to immediately
don't. continue your drive without that external motivation. update linkedin when you start, i've always had more respect to those who wait instead of posting the next day. just my 2c, congrats on the offer!
What banks have super days for 2024? I know Bank of America has and RBC will soon, but what others. Jeffries and nomura have also given superdays. Which ones u got lined up.
Just got the offer from BofA for sa 22 and my other superday is for Citi in June. I have a 2023 one for GS too
How citi? Did you already get accepted to the Freshman Discovery day?
Wtf since when did bofa interview there apps literally opened last week I smell cap
Aaaand... it's a troll.
Fellas, is it gay to cry tears of joy?
Congrats
Thanks bruh everyone thinks I’m trolling
He's trolling. Y'all just don't see it.
