those of you who didn't get a return offer after S&T SA, where did you go?

Hey Monkeys.

Seeing as this year's S&T SA return rates will probably be abysmally low (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and FT recruiting most probably a total bloodbath everywhere, I'd like to ask: For those of you who didn't get a return offer/didn't want to return to the bank you summered at, where did you go for FT?

After a quick swipe on LinkedIn, the common exits I found were:

• Downsizing a notch i.e. larger BB SA to smaller BB FT (e.g. GS to BofA etc)
• Downsizing more than a notch i.e. BB SA to MM/non-BB FT
• Lateralling i.e. moving BB to BB of comparable sizes (dream scenario tbh given COVID)
• Private Banking/PWM
• Prop Trading
• Buyside (MF/HF)
• Doing something else?

Anybody got any war stories to share? Is trading up banks for FT possible at all? Either way, I'd imagine one would need heavy networking to re-recruit for an FT spot. It'd be great if somebody could walk through the re-recruiting process for S&T as well.

Cheers and stay safe!
