Generally, would a strong incoming analyst still get rejected by a few banks admist all his offers?

Suppose you have a guy applying for a full-time who is probably in the 90% of applicants.

And say he applied at not every bank, but absolutely at a wide variety of them.

It's hard to predict, but for argument's sake, do you think he could get an offer from every employer, or is that impossible?

 

what is the point of this hypothetical?

if he has an offer in hand already from a top bank makes it likely he will get offers from other banks, solely because he has the leverage.

still might get a few dings though. it's not all that predictable

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

Different places are looking for different things. Even the strongest candidate isn't going to get an offer everywhere because he's not going to be a fit everywhere. If he does, it means he's just a really good actor or the people recruiting are just really desperate. The best place for you will always find you, it just works out that way. Take the offer with the place that you want and that wants you most.
