FINALLY got an offer!! TLDR: Don't give up

Ok so I have been trying to break into banking for the longest time. I've been recruiting for a full-time IB analyst role all semester. I'd get to the final rounds and ultimately was never chosen. I think I applied to at least 40 places this semester...but I FINALLY I GOT A JOB. 

I was THIS close to giving up

Moral of the story:  never give up!!!! It only takes 1 firm to see your potential! 

 

lmao some of us are 3+ years out before we got our gig. don't be so full of yourself.
