Will I get Blacklisted?
Hey everyone,
So some background, I went to a bank's recruiting event for possible summer analysts for the summer of 2020 because I was going to be graduating in December 2020 (4.5 years) but I now will still be getting the degrees I stated but still will graduate on time (May 2020). My school added classes without pre-reqs, so I don't have to redo some math classes. If I tell the firm that I will be graduating on time, will they blacklist me? At the time, I told the recruiter I added a major to get more math and she asked if it was final. I told her yes, as I will get the additional degree, but I am worried that I would get blacklisted if I graduate on time. It is a top tier firm (GS, MS, JP) and my dream company that I want to spend my career at (don't want to go buyside).
I would truly appreciate everyone's input.
I’m not exactly sure I understand the question/context, but from what I understand I don’t think you would be blacklisted.

Did you sign an offer? If you just went to a recruiting event no one cares. They wouldn't blacklist you in this situation unless you a) signed an offer and b) lied about something much bigger (ie GPA)
However if you graduate May 2020 you are not eligible for summer analyst roles. Keep the December graduation if you're looking for an internship... if you graduate next May you should be looking for full time (which is harder at BBs).
I didn't sign any offer but they spent $500 on my flight to the 1-day event. We had a networking call and that's when I told her I am adding the major. I didn't lie about adding the major because, at that point in time, I needed to redo Calc 1 in that department (the class is based on exams so I was just going to take the online version over the summer) and do calc 2 before I could start on the classes for that major. My school since added classes and removed the prereqs of calc so I can just take those and not Calc 1/2 which made it so I can still graduate in May.
You want to spend your career at a bank that you've never actually worked at?
Also, at the top IB's, the firms are very similar so if for some reason it doesn't work out, don't forget about the one down the road. You'll still work 80+ hours a week no matter which one you're at!
Good luck.
So wait I am confused. Did you get an offer? If you did, then what is your start date. Pretty sure they all start at the same time after Spring graduation. So you don't have to worry. If you didn't get an offer yet but want to, again they all start after Spring graduation so you're fine and don't need to inform anyone of anything, especially before the process has begun. They spend $500+ on everyone. It's nothing for them. Don't worry about the money.
