Took a risk with recruiting, not sure it's going to pan out...
Hey guys,
Feeling pretty discouraged right now. Essentially, I interned at MM ibank in a regional city, received an exploding offer to go back FT. I ended up turning it down since I had networked quite a bit over the summer and had a couple (~5ish) final round interviews lined up with BB's, top boutiques and MM firms in the city where my family lives. I didn't want to renege out of fear of the potential consequences (couldn't get it extended).
At this point, I am listed as first alternate for one of the banks, waiting to hear back from another, and turned down from the others. No offers (yet), and I am starting to feel pretty dumb about my decision haha. I have another couple interviews with solid boutique banks, but hopefully that alternate slot pans out.
Not really sure what to do at this point, but I would appreciate any thoughts/advice you guys have.
Also, in the event that I end up completely jobless by, say late November, what should I do? I'm considering an MSF, and I think my chances are decent here (3.6 GPA at a target UG), but I haven't taken the GMAT yet... Thoughts welcome here too.
there are still spots open. keep working at it to reduce risk of being jobless in late nov.
Thanks, I'm gonna do my best at the interviews I have coming up.
Spots pops up all the way throughout the schoolyear. Its just that its mainly boutiques.
Maybe do that for a year, then move on to greener pastures?
call your MM summer employer, explain your thinking, and see if they would want you back if they are regional and you performed, they might be open to it especially if you say the decision was made under the gun of the exploding offer
One other thing, if you do a one year master's, does that make you eligible for summer analyst positions?
Update: got off the alternate list, got an offer! Thanks for all the help on this forum, guys!
