Reneging on MM IB Offer for MBB?
I'm a sophomore at a semi-target. I recently landed an SA 2025 offer at an MM (think William Blair, Baird, etc.) and have less than 48 hours to sign the offer.
I'm not sure what I want to do post-IB but I'm interested in VC. I was talking to a relative about IB exits, and they think I should sign the MM IB offer but recruit for MBB internships. If I get an MBB offer, they think I should renege on the IB offer to maximize my chances of breaking into VC (or potentially moving into a different field if I end up hating high finance altogether.
Should I:
- Sign the MM IB offer and be happy with it
- Sign the offer, recruit for MBB, and renege on the IB offer if I get into MBB
- Decline the offer and only recruit for MBB
For context, my school is a semi-target for IB but is known as a target for consulting, with strong placement rates into MBB.
What!? If your a sophomore just take mm ib for the experience and then try mbb full time
How would that fit into the application timelines? If I complete my MM IB internship and receive a return offer, would the acceptance deadline for the offer precede the full-time MBB recruiting process?
I also wanted to add that my semester GPA is expected to be 0.1-0.2 points lower than in past semesters, which might hurt my chances of landing an MBB offer if I decide to re-recruit
