Full Time Commitment
Hey WSO I have a few questions,
So far my BB SA has been going well and I think I stand a reasonably good chance of receiving a FT offer. I like my experience so far and will give serious thought to accepting. However, at the same time I'm not sure if a) I want to work in NYC and b) I even want to be in banking/finance in general.
If I were given an offer what is the typical time I would be allowed to wait before being forced to make a decision? I would like to really consider my options and maybe look around at jobs closer to where I live in several other fields.
Also, when is it a good time to start prepping for FT recruiting with your networking connections? For example, though I am from a nontarget and have an average gpa, I have some connections at big consulting firms who are willing to forward my resume. I don't want to jump the gun but I'd like to be able to interview before being forced to make a decision about my (hopefully) BB offer. Should I wait or start talking to them now?
Also, when is it a good time to reach out to regional boutiques in my home city for FT? I think I may like the smaller environment if I do stay in finance and would consider these places. However none have recruiting at my school or on their websites. Should I email them soon to let them know of my interest or should I wait until "traditional" FT season begins?
If anything I only need the first question answered please :)
Depends on the firm
Get the return offer first :)
Usually they will work with you. They want you to be able to interview with other firms. But yeah it really depends on the firm.
Dude just accept your FT offer from your SA bank and then search after. You''ll have that offer in your back pocket as a safety net and you can always renege later if you want.
It is a hardcore thing to do, but that is the way it has to work if you want to keep YOUR best interests in mind.
Got it, thanks for the answers everyone. From your own BB experiences, what were your deadlines to accept offers if you don't mind me asking (don't have to name bank obviously)?
