I might be autistic...
Clickbait title right? I have interviewed with every shop from the middle market to elite boutique and struck out on 20+ superdays and 50+ processes in general. I have been dinged by Tobin & Co. (not even joking - for an internship) and Evercore at a superday (2nd place finish per MD, not sure if that was a lie), but ended up somewhere closer to the latter. There was no identifiable pattern in offers clearly, until I received one yesterday...
Usually it's my GPA (3.3) at a semi-target, which doesn't have a great story other than I found IB late in the game, that dings me instantly. I have gotten 2 offers over the course of several years between FT and lateral recruiting. Why might you ask?
Both of the offers I got, I pulled an all-nighter prior to the superday and was severely sleep deprived leading up to them for one reason or another. I stopped caring about the interviews and just wanted to make it through to go pass out.
It surely can't be a coincidence, but I find myself much more vibrant as a person when sleep deprived and happy during interviews. You could be talking about your wife's funeral and I would have a big stupid smile on my face. If you're a Dale Carnegie fan, here's another datapoint to add to the list.
This tells me 1 thing; I might be autistic.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
You might have adhd, try some methylphenidate shit helps
90% of us are autistes
I just get blasted before interviews - always helps to get the creative juices flowing
We are a conglomeration of retards. Welcome
Thanks retard monkey friend.
You’re really lucky to get offers in IB with that 3.3 GPA.
20 Superdays holy shit
How has no one commented that he even applied to Tobin & Co.?
OP - Can you give us your reasoning behind applying there? Especially for an internship?
Tobin & Co. about to introduce a reverse internship
Where you pay a pro rated salary of 85k for the summer to work there
Do you think they'll bump up the cost to match the other banks?
Tried to do an internship so I could use it to land a FT gig.
I was told "I didn't sound convincing enough as to why IB?" lmfao.
I didn't mind eating money because I worked during school anyways.
That alone gave the retardation away
Do you wear suspenders?
Only if they are attached to my underwear
the one offer I got was when I had given up all hope lol. I actually think it's the opposite for me. was probably too energetic before and after just more chill all around. who knows.
My first offer was a lot like that. I was so down in the dumps, but sleep deprivation made me so happy it's kind of unnerving when I look back at it.
