Hi there, I got 2 offers but am not sure which one is better for a top MBA/MBB/buy-side: first offer: JPM CIB credit risk, tier 2 city; heard it's arguably an FO job in JPM. Exists include top BB IBD and T10 MBA program. second offer: Equity research associate at a low-tier MM, will work with an...

Update: I took the offer. Lets gooooooooooooo TLDR: Work in Big 4 FDD and received an offer from MM IB (recognizable name) with their M&A team that opened shop ~5ish years ago. Should I accept the offer even though IB profits are down across the board and the economy is tanking? Hey everyone, I'm...

Hi guys, I just completed full time recruitment and came out with an offer I'm very happy with: it's a strong boutique firm doing MM tech deals. MD mentioned during interviews they pay over street. In the offer letter, base is $110k, full normal benefits, 12 days of paid vacation, etc... and it...

Got verbal internship offer a while back and was told to email after official application portal opens. It has always been a week since my email and no response. Should I send a follow-up on Friday or wait until next week?

I have a quick question. How long do you typically have after receiving an offer to decide if you are going to take it or not. Wondering about a lot of companies so if anyone knows anything would be super helpful.

05 Aug 2022

So I'm in a weird spot. I had 2 rounds of interviews and got an offer at a boutique investment management firm. They said on the Friday after my final round they'd send me documents the following week regarding the specifics. Next week I wait, don't see anything, and wait until Friday when I email...

My upcoming 2022 SA in NYC seems no longer possible. Long story short, I have clicked the "need sponsorship" button in my application and now HR recently told me the company cannot support me in obtaining a J1 visa. You can imagine I am really sad - my entire year is wasted and finding another job...

Considering a VP offer - JPM Planning & Analysis - 150K base, 20K average bonus; consolidates forecast, reporting, budget planning for Corp & Investment Bank; fields ad hoc exec requests. Coming from GSE FP&A in DC as a lead associate (level just below manager); 4 years' corporate finance...

At what point in the SA 2023 process should you reach out to HR/Recruiters about an accelerated process due to exploding offers? After r1? If there is no r1, after the HireVue? Should you wait until after your superday or as soon as you apply? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I am set on going into the buy-side after undergrad and am in final rounds with BlackRock, among other large AMs in NYC, and a small fund in a tier 3 city. The position at BlackRock would be in the Portfolio Management Group, in a Fixed Income desk focused on mostly global allocation. The fund is an...

Long story short, had a final round last week and was told I would hear back pretty soon. Over the weekend, the job posting was removed on LinkedIn with the typical "no longer accepting applications" Does this mean something if anything at all? Have they already given the offer to a candidate?

24 Apr 2022

Hey, I'm a senior in college and I signed a full time investment banking offer with a non-us bank in NYC. Base is on par with what most other banks are now paying an1 but no signing or relocation bonus was offered. I tried negotiating but was unsuccessful and was told that was simply what was...

20 Apr 2022

Hello guys, I am sitting on an offer from from a very reputable fund but for specific reasons I'd still like to see what's out there in the market. How do you shop an offer without coming off as treacherous (for lack of better word)?

16 Mar 2022

So I'm going to be working as an IB summer analyst at a BB this summer, and would love to get a return offer for full-time. However, I don't want to close off my options and am also thinking about doing a bit of recruiting for full-time positions, both at other banks and on the buy side to see if...

So I have a sophomore IB offer at a JPM/GS/MS and I am recruiting at other banks (mostly though firm-wide programs) just in case things go south, I was wondering if I should tell them I have a sophomore IB offer at my JPM/GS/MS or if they will look at me like I'm "not committed enough" and just...

06 Feb 2022

I am sure this has been answered before, but what is the best way to communicate that I have another expiring offer without putting off the interviewer. I had a call yesterday with the interviewer in question, but did not feel that there was an appropriate time to mention it given the conversation....

Hello everyone! I am an incoming sophomore ib intern at a GS/MS/JPM and I would absolutely love to turn this sophomore internship into a junior opportunity. I have no friends nor family in the industry so I am turning to WSO for advice! Does anybody have any experience being a sophomore intern and...

After a year on the job, I got a nice lateral offer from a tier 1 fund in my field to join their team. I've been looking to jump ship for some time, so I was ecstatic to get the offer letter. The pay bump was also nice. I told my boss about my plan to bounce, and he told me that I needed to stay -...

Howdy squad. First - long time no post. I was recently reminded of my membership here via someone up-voting a 2012 comment and I was inspired. I recently received an offer from a VC/PE esque fund (owned by a big PE shop) that promises me an X% "Profits Interest", and references a "your Profit's...

Got an offer from a new HFT market maker startup for a quant position, unusual thing is that they give equity as a part of the offer. It's roughly 50% cash base and 50% equity, they also said that discretionary bonuses in the first years will primarily be paid in equity rather than cash. The offer...

Hello everyone, This week I will have an AC with a BB (think GS/JPM/MS) for a summer analyst position but I have already accepted an offer to join another BB (think BAML/CS/Citi/Barclays) for the same position. How should I behave during the interview? Should I say that I have already accepted an...

03 Nov 2021

Hi all, I just had a question because I don't think this has been explicitly stated to me. Are private equity roles conditional to you completing your analyst stint? For example, if I sign an offer to start in summer 2022, can I not quit my IB position now, and do something else until the role kicks...

02 Nov 2021

Hello everyone, I recently received an offer to join a BB as a summer analyst. I haven't formally accepted the offer yet as another recruitment process with another bank is going on and I want to wait as long as I can to see where the second process will end up going in the next days. How long do...

Hi everyone, on Friday I got a verbal offer (analyst IBD) from a MD of a BB. He told me that they really liked me and wanted me to join their team. However, he also told me that I would have had to wait 2/3 weeks for the written offer. I thanked him and told him I had another offer outstanding (I...

I'm currently doing an internship at a bank but received an offer to join another, better bank full time in early September. The offer is signed and all but the background check is still underway, and to be honest, I kind of heavily embellished a resume bullet point of my past internship, giving me...

As the summer 2021 analyst wrap up their experience and the summer 2022 analyst bombard LinkedIn with job post-I am sure there are many of you who wish to either be in their shoes, or are interested in learning more about the industry, profession, and process. In this thread, I will tell you my path...

Got a 2022 SA offer at a decent BB, wanted to shop it around a bit seeing as I go to a target and I could probably go out for some other firms. I hear the advice to "use an exploding offer as leverage and get accelerated superdays" all the time, but I have never heard of anyone doing it...

Hey folks, I am currently interning as an Summer Associate at a BB in industrials. The last couple of weeks have been really slow (despite 3 staffings). I was wondering if other Summer Associates have similar experiences or if it is just specific to my group? Also, does a slow summer impact the...

hii I have never posted before and this is a bit scary but I think it is worth it to go the lengths to hear all the opinions I can.

Hi all, so I recently received an off-cycle risk offer from a prominent hedge fund in asia and a summer risk offer from one of the big4s. Going to defer my graduation so that I can have another run for 2022 SA. End goals will be AM or SnT. Wondering which offer would be better and why? Thanks! Also,...

Hi, I just did a final around for Bain New York Office (Thursday 4/1/21). I graduated in May of 2020, but they are doing off cycle recruiting right now for AC positions. They are doing final round interviews today and tomorrow. I have two questions: 1. When should I hear back? Did anyone else also...

I tried searching for this and found that people have said HFs usually give anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to decide on an offer. Just wanted to see if people had anecdotes with things wildly different. Also I saw a thread on hiring a lawyer to review the employment contract, so depending on how...

I just graduated in December majoring in applied econ/ finance with a credit analyst offer (had a credit internship) that was pretty decent pay for first job out of college and for the rural setting/ lower price index. I didn't want to do credit forever, but I figured a few years in a job that had...

So, I am from a semi-target looking to lateral. I went straight into a final round interview with a regional MM last Tuesday (had an alumni refer me) - I met with a mix of MDs, Directors, and an Associate. Interviews went decent to well and were completely fit based. I sent thank you emails to all...

If for an M&A process, 3 different companies make the same offer e.g. EV of $Xm, how do you compare the offers? How can the offers differentiate? One thing may be the financing, e.g. was offer is all-cash, where another is 50-50 (cash and equity). Heard some people say the make of working capital is...

02 Jan 2021

Trying to guesstimate how long do HFs give to accept or reject an offer? Waiting to hear back from #1 choice for 3 weeks now but seems like #2 choice will be putting up an offer soon.

Hey guys, I am currently in the middle of a lateral process for a MM bank in NY and in the last month or so, have completed multiple rounds of interviews with the entire team as well as a modelling case. I was introduced to the opportunity through an internal referral and have gotten great feedback...

Help me please! I received two internship offers for the summer going into my senior year - one from a middle market / bulge bank in investment banking, and another in a very brand-name private equity firm. I'm in a good spot in terms of my offers, but I won't name them because I don't want to be...

Hi all, I have two summer 2021 internship offers currently on the table. One is with a PE shop in NYC, and the other is investment banking in NYC as well, and both firms have good names. I know a lot of people in the industry recommend investment banking first, but if PE is the end goal for a lot of...

Hi everyone, Here's the thing: I've finished my internship and feedbacks have always been positive.

Hello Monkeys, I hope everyone is well. Just had a quick question, can someone provide some timelines as to when is a decision made for a FT offer or not during the internship? Is it in the last week of your internship or last day? I assume every bank is different, I am interested in the BB process....

I received a superday for FT IB and I accepted a return offer from another bank in a different division. The superday bank sent me a form to fill out and it asks if I have a contract of employment which I think I technically do. I don't want this to backfire on me and then end up with 0 offers. So I...
