My Gameplan for FT Offer

Hi all,

Would really appreciate some insight into my situation.

I'm a junior at a non-target getting ready for summer recruitment. Currently, I'm on academic exchange in Asia. My marks are ~3.3 and I have two F500s on my resume.

Before exchange, I was received an offer from a F500 CPG company. This past summer, I pounded the ground networking and made valuable connections at MBB+Deloitte. I'll be leveraging those connections to score interviews over the next two weeks or so.

In my opinion, I'm in a bitter-sweet position. I have a good offer on the table, but I am no where close to being prepared for case interviews. I most likely will interview this time around, and if I don't get it, I know I have more than enough time to prep for FT interviews.

What do you guys think?

 

This question is a bit confusing.

However to be blunt if you want to get into Wall Street you're going to have to take the best option.

If this means re-negging on a fortune 500... so be it. This sounds like "bad advice and burning bridges". To be honest though? No one cares about a lowly 20 year old. So it sounds like you have an exploding offer.

Take it, interview for the other job. If you get it call the other one and say "The company that turned me down just told me the spot re-opened so i have to take it hope you understand".
