Middle Office offer or keep looking?
Hey guys, I got a dilemma... interned at a BB S&T last year but didn't like the offer/desk/company and decided to look elsewhere. So far, I had 3 interviews at various BBs and 3 random interviews (in PE/MO/etc). I ended up with 1 offer in MO at a Bulge Bracket. It's exploding and I'm not sure:
1) take it, keep looking, reneg later
2) take it, finish it, go to b school (can I get into a top bschool from MO?)
3) try to go for an internal transfer (but how likely is this? must be tough)
4) I have a few other interviews coming up in front office S&T roles... should I just reject the offer and keep interviewing?
Also the offer letter stated a salary lower than what was told to me verbally - is it appropriate to ask about the difference (it's a 5K difference) if I accept?
Any advice is much appreciated!
go for option 1.
but wouldn't this burn bridges / close doors? or not really?
If you show them a FO offer from another BB, they may move you from MO to FO and bump your salary to get you to stay. I have seen it happen.
Having more than 1 option opens doors, it doesn't close them. So, option 1.
So accept the offer, later if I get a better offer tell them I'm reneging and the firm I'm going to?
OptioN 4. You know what you want to do, so pursue it. And I don't think burning a bridge is a good idea
That's huge risk. Right now leaning on #1... but not exactly sure of ramifications. even from research on this board I don't have a clear sense of whats the consequences.
Tough situation:
I would prob go with 2 1 & 4 has its risks. In 1 you burn bridges and could get blacklisted. In 4, you can end up without an offer. 3 can be included with 2 so I think 2 is the best option.

Accept the offer, reneg later. Getting a front office offer will open more doors than renegging will close.
Yeah, I think this may be what I'll do.
