BB Credit Risk vs. MM IB
Hey everyone,
I'm a junior from a non-target and I have an SA offer from a BB (GS, MS, JPM) for credit risk. I also have an invitation for final round interviews with a pretty well respected MM firm for their IB SA program. The problem is that my offer for the BB expires about a week before the interviews for the MM, so to make it work I would have to ask the BB to extend my offer and the MM to push up the final round interviews. If i ended up having both offers, it would be a tough decision because I'm fairly sure I want to do banking in the future, but I know people have transferred into IB from the credit risk program as long as they put in the work in terms of networking and such. So I guess my question is should I accept the BB offer and try to lateral into IB later or go for the MM offer as well? Obv there's no guarantee i would get the MM offer or that they can even push the interviews forward, so I could just be risking pissing of the BB for no reason. Let me know if any of my reasoning is wrong, and any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
Explain the situation and ask for an accelerated process. Don't pass on the offer because it's better to have that than nothing and credit risk isn't the worst mo position to have.
If you decide to continue interviewing but take the offer be careful. Mm ib would be better than bb mo, but would hurt future chances at the bb and your school may not be happy with you.
Thanks for the input, my thinking was similar. I wasn't planning on passing up the offer, so if I can't get the interview moved up, I'm going to accept the BB.
If I may ask a follow up, how bad does it look to ask for an offer extension?
