They gave you an exploding offer? and it's only 2 weeks? check with your career office, they have agreements on how long you should have to decide. It should be more than 2 weeks. that said, pushing back the offer a month and a half (intervews are handed out in February) is pretty excessive and regardless, probaby not able to push it back that long.

not worth it to renege for summer analyst. but if you think you have better shots at othe banks, dont sign,

 

1.) You are in a great position to have an SA offer this year before many people have FT offers. Keep that in consideration.

2.) These days, when in doubt, I always look to the Jeffrey Chiang guy as an example. Anything that could even POSSIBLY be CONSIDERED to be shady by anybody, I would try to avoid. If you accept the Barcap, commit fully to them. If its one thing that JC taught us, its that Wall Street is way to small to be bullshittin around.

Barcap is a good firm and RSG is a great group...fairly certain that they were one of, if not THE, most profitable units of the bank. Also, interning at one firm will help you tremendously during full-time recruiting. Assuming you get a return offer but want to look elsewhere, you will be able to do this by having a great SA experience. RSG does interesting work with helping firms hedge their risk(from the little I know) so it might be good to learn. Plus, do you really want to run the risk of turning down a BB and then having no offer at all for the summer? That being said, if you were guaranteed to do Goldman IBD coverage for the summer, that trumps Barcap RSG.

 

You should try asking for an extension, but 1.5 months is a stretch...

RSG is a very profitable group (they sell derivatives tor corporations and structure trades), but you might not beg getting as much exposure to corporate finance if that's what you're interested in.

You could also sign with Barcap, and then interview with GS if they offer you an interview. If you get an offer from GS for TMT, then you can think about reneging... And yes, you'll probably be blacklisted at Barcap
