Networking with the Big 4 after turning down an internship offer
The title covers it pretty well, short version is I turned down 2 B4 advisory intern offers (2 of the 4) for a MM IB internship and they cut the internship and didn't extend any FT offers. Any good advice for reaching out to the B4 firms? If I was able to get an offer at 2/4 of them without...

Are candidates notified of rejections after offers a given out?
Hi all, I had a superday two weeks ago and I have been in radio silence communication in regards to hearing back on the status of my standing in the post interview process (good or bad news). At the end of the superday HR told us that we would hear back in 2-3 weeks since the regional office our...
The Unsolicited Job Offer
While many of us are always interested in moving another rung up the magical career ladder, concerned about “exit opportunities”, and generally always having an eye on the next great endeavor, the fact of the matter is few will truly “make it” (enter your own definition of that here). A lot...

That special call
Hey Guys, At least in Europe, the banks have blocked numbers so you know that after interviews, when someone calls you from a blocked number, you know that it's that yay or nay call. I got mine two days ago, rushed out of class and people saw me dancing and jumping around while the HR lady told me...
Getting an Offer in the Middle of the Summer
I've asked a few people and nobody said it was something they've heard of very often, so I'll ask the WSO community. Yesterday I got an offer to come back for full time with the firm I'm interning with this summer, but I've only been working there for a month or two and I'm assumed if anything...
I DID IT!!!

Not Getting the FT Offer -- Beyond the Job Search
So you didn't get a FT offer after slaving away for 10 weeks as a SA . There's been plenty of discussion on WSO before about how to rebound for FT , from where to look and how to spin your story, but I want to pause a moment on the self-improvement side of things, beyond just career path.

Is HR going to call me today??
I interviewed at a PNC super day last Friday for FT . They told us they would give us a definite answer - yes OR no, by next Friday (Today).

I'm assuming I didn't get the job?
I went through final round interviews at a small consulting firm two weeks ago (on Monday, Valentine's day) and was told by the analyst (whom I've been in touch with throughout the recruiting/interviewing process) that they'd let me know about offers by the end of the week. So, naturally, I got...
