I am a college senior at a semi-target, graduating in May. I have a FT offer with a very strong firm in the asset management / investment management space (think wellington, blackrock, etc) doing equity research work. The people seem nice, the work seems fairly interesting. However, I had always wanted to be a banker.
I have a final round interview in January for a top tier BB investment bank (I know, regular FT recruiting is over, this is a second round I'm guessing due to under-hiring in the fall). I believe they are bringing in 40 for a Superday and taking 4-5 total.
Thoughts?
I have to give the AM/IM firm a decision before my interview, they are not willing to wait because I was an idiot and told them the truth about my situation. They aren't angry because I phrased it very diplomatically, but they've politely refused.

I agree, I think you can sign and reneg. You have to do what is best for you. While it's not a great thing to do, they would do it to you (as firms have done) so do what's best for you. Good luck.
If investment banking is truly what you want to do, I'd say go to the interview and see what happens. If you do get the job, you're going to have a lot of late nights where you'll be kicking yourself in the ass thinking: "Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill."
