Graduating a Year Early ?

To those in the industry now,

What do you think of me graduating 1 year early?

I will have one 6 month micro-boutique investment banking internship where, so far, I have been able to garner a lot of experience and knowledge

I am likely to get a return offer for this firm but I also want to pursue other options - how do you think I’ll fare in FT recruiting with only one, but a solid, internship

Non target

Thanks

 

I was also at a non-target and tried to do the same thing. I ended up getting a return for a bank that I didnt like so I did another year and now am entering a top BB. It comes down to whether you know you can get the offer that you want in the bank you want- if you can then go for it (considering you dont mind losing a year a free youth)

 

in this environment why in the world would you want to enter during a recession. on top of that you want to do full time recruiting which will be pretty much non existent. just give yourself an extra year of school and get to a top bank. that will put you much further ahead than graduating a year early
