Offer at a Fortune 50 company...

Hi,

I am a finance student at a strong semi target and was recently offered a position at a F50 corporation in their finance and accounting division. I have ~1 week to decide whether to accept. I was wondering how to leverage this offer and contact advisory firms/IB Boutiques, and say that I have this offer, but I would rather work for you. I also have a superday at a trading firm in April, so I am confused on how whether to accept this offer.

I've accepted the superday invite if it makes a difference.

Thanks.

Yeah you shouldn't do that. Just turn down the offer and move on. If you had two offers on the table right now it would be different. But running around from shop to shop with an irrelevant offer in hand won't help you much.

I figured that because they see another company is willing to hire me, they may be more inclined to taking me as well. Is that not the case?

Yes, if they make you an offer and if you have another offer on the table already. But you don't preemptively tell other prospective employers that you have an offer before the interview process even begins. Particularly when its in accounting/finance and you're trying to land IB.

Will contacting the trading firm be helpful? The interview is at their offices, so I don't think it will help much, but maybe its worth a shot?
