keyboardwarrior, I normally don't reply to these threads, but you're being a bitch, plain and simple. First off, him one-upping the system is irrelevant to the fact that you couldn't close the offer. You should have been better prepared and connected with the interviewers. Second off, you're incredibly short-sighted. Say you do call the BB. Do you really think they're going to rescind his offer and just give it to you? Hell no. If HR rescinds his offer, they'll go back to the bankers and ask who to give the offer to. No banker would choose you knowing that you did this. In fact, I don't think anyone would because it shows a huge character flaw on your part.

I mean this with all due respect, but you're going to have a tough time in IB if this is how you act. I would kindly suggest hitting those interview guides hard, doing some more networking, and just being better prepared next time. "Worry about yourself, not others" might sound like some advice an old man might give you, but it really is true.

 

oh god, I normally won't say this but I can't believe pl are actually thinking about this, him getting the offer and reneging is irrelevant, and you calling him out won't help you close the deal but it will actually hurt you in terms of your integrity and reputation in IB if you ever want to get in. This is a no brianer I wouldn't do it.

 

Best you can hope for is for the other candidate to have a change of heart and turn down the bank...that still isn't a guarantee you get the job mind you as they may go back to the candidate.

Furthermore, you'd be reneging yourself if you got the offer....it's completely hypocritical. Even if the bank decides to give you the job after you rat out someone for reneging (which they won't), what happens if they find out you did the exact same thing?

 

Would not advise doing this. You simply weren't good enough to close on the superday and they went with him. HR has no say at all in who gets the offer and it won't get handed to you by default. The other bankers on the team won't care that he reneged because it's just a boost to their ego. They'll take him and probably just talk shit about you behind your back.
