Dont see why you dont just take the FT offer. Going to really be a waste of time trying to re-recruit to be honest. You're probably only going to have a week to sign.

Also, the other day someone said one of the GS/JPM/MS banks was giving offers a week or two after so I guess now we have to see which one is doing what.

 

If your goal is to prestige hop then you should definitely decline the return offer and see what luck you have with re-recruiting. Gives someone who actually understands risk v reward a FT role at whatever bank you're in.

 

Especially with the current climate we are in I can't even believe this is a serious thought... the race for extra prestige is clouding your judgement so badly it makes me question your soft skills, ability to identify risks vs rewards etc (all things that are just as important in this industry as your high gpa from a target school, which I assume you have)
