I recently received a FT offer from a boutique bank, but have an interview (most likely final round) with a well known MM bank. I would prefer to go to the middle market bank because I like the culture as well as the industry. My interview isn't scheduled until later this week and the boutique is looking for an immediate hire.
Do I tell the boutique that I'm in the interview process somewhere else and ask them to give me more time to decide or will they just give the offer to another candidate? I guess I could always accept and renege but that would definitely burn bridges and it's something I would rather not do. I already contacted the MM bank and asked to move up the interview date (it was previously scheduled for next week, but the new date isn't set yet...)
Any advice on what to do?
I can't imagine the boutique wouldn't give you atleast a week to decide even if it's an immediate hire. I'm assuming they gave you time and you ran out?
What helps me as cliche as this sounds is actually writing out a pro/con list on a sheet of paper. If prestige is all you care about, remember that it's not boutique vs. BB.
Agree with the pro/con list 100%, as elementary as it sounds.
Don't care too much about prestige. MM would offer much better exit ops and the industry the boutique focuses on what pigeonhole me
