Okay. So I got a call yesterday saying I had an offer at a MM firm for SA that I had been waiting for. I was extremely happy and ready to accept (they gave me a week), but I just received an email from PIMCO saying I have a final round for a product analyst role next friday, which was the position I really wanted at that firm.
I'd like to know what you all suggest I do? and what would look better in the long run if I either want to enter a MFE/MSF program or go MBA..?
I appreciate it
What's the position at the MM? If it's an investment position vs. a product analyst position you take the investment decision for sure.
You could always let PIMCO know you have an exploding offer, and you can ask the other bank for an extension
Its just a generalist corporate finance I-banking summer analyst position. Firm does restructuring and M&A.
i think your best bet would be to let PIMCO know you have an exploding offer...generally firms are accommodating and will move the interview up
I told them I had an offer with an expiration and they said that their interviewers are out until late next week, so it wouldn't make a difference. With that in mind, my offer for PIMCO final round is until 5 tomorrow. I can accept it, but I still will end up verbally agreeing to my i-banking internship since its expiring sooner than that. I don't feel like being a douche and verbally agreeing and then not signing the paper they give me though. Is Pimco prestigious? Or am I just blowing this out of proportion.
is pimco prestigious?? are u sure u have an interview with pimco and not petco?
Pimco is a very solid name. Look man if they are your first choice and you know you prefer them over the MM bank, call the MM bank and ask them for an extension. Explain to them that you have one more interview and you just want to carefully weigh your options.
If they say that would be a dealbreaker and they can't wait any longer, tell them you will talk to Pimco, wait a day, and accept.
However, a lot of schools have rules against crap like this - my school for example had a 2-week rule, meaning firms couldn't give offers that exploded in any less time than 15 days. If a firm did that, they wouldn't be able to recruit on campus anymore. They will still try to pressure you and make it sound like the offer will explode, and what they may even do is make a verbal offer but not sending you the acceptance letter until you accept. Don't call them out on any of this, but my point is to show that if you ask for some more time, it is likely they will not consider it a big problem. Just be respectful and courteous.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT VERBALLY ACCEPT THEN RENEGE IF YOU GET THE PIMCO OFFER.
