When will I hear back after my finance job interview?
Please try to stay calm. The interview is over so there is nothing you can do besides sending the standard thank you e-mails. Depending on the number of positions available, anywhere from 20-80% of the super day interviewees may receive offers later that day. Other strong candidates may be put on...
Firm doesn't give FT offers, how do I explain this?
I'm working at a small AM fund this summer that typically doesn't hire people out of undergrad, they hire on a need basis from investment banks and other random shops. I got my SA through a connection and my boss just happened to need people but said at the start of the internship there wasn't a...
Is it bad if you take a while to accept an offer?
Or do firms expect you to shop around for others...?
How bad do you have to be to not get an offer?
I received a good final review but I'm still nervous as ****. Do SAs that dont get offers generally perform poorly? Is it a performance issue, fit issue, or other politics behind it?
Its almost offer time for SAs, and I'm getting a bit nervous...
I received a good, solid Mid-Year review that said I was on-track to get a FT offer. My manager told me that I shouldnt worry about my final review and that would be good. What else is left for me to do at this point? What are the politics behind who gets an offer and who doesnt?
What happens if you get an offer after an internship?
Do you have to accept it in a relatively short period of time? Or are you also given time to shop around for other jobs
Outlook on offer, PE
I had a final interview at a PE firm for a financial analyst position exactly two weeks ago. Two days after the interview I was contacted and it was requested that I provide my official academic transcript and two references. The following Wednesday (one week ago) I was again contacted saying my...

Trying to make a decision between the three firms. Lets just say for argument its between these three, Lazard M &A, Greenhill M &A/Restructuring, and BarCap IBD for a Junior SA position. Thanks!
would you take this offer/advice?
I'm a junior right now and I already sent out my apps for IB , but my old firm offered to set up a PB internship with a top BB for me They said that IB is overrated, that the money isn't as good since 08, and the traditional IB -> PE path is a path where fund managers and MDs basically treat you...

Dealing with Early Offer
Hi everyone, I'm primarily interested in interning in banking this summer. I'm not set on it as a career path, but depending on my summer experience I may chose to return full-time. As you all know, the banks primarily recruit for internships second semester. However, I currently have an offer...
Complete non-target to Buyside Research Associate - Thanks!
I go to a complete non-target state school in California with no name recognition and no notable alumni (not accepted to UCLA or even UCSD). My GPA is mediocre (3.6) and we have no on-campus recruitment services for any finance positions.
Thanks WSO - IB Finally from Non-Target
Thanks to everybody on this forum, many of you have been extremely helpful in fielding questions and helping provide me with the opportunity to learn.

Why do BB banks request transcripts for experienced hires!?
Any clarification on this would be great....it is not like most experienced hires even have GPA's listed on their resumes?
No Offer - Recruiting implications
I was a summer intern in M&A at a BB investment bank in London this summer. Surprisingly I did not get an offer. I say it was surprising, because I had tons of staffing during the whole summer, senior people told me they would put in a good word for me and one ED would staff me on all these projects...

THANK YOU WSO - IBD FT Offer Non-Targ
Just got a FT offer from BB (think GS , CS , DB) in NY . I am from a non-target so needless to say recruiting for SA positions was quite difficult. I ended up not even getting a first round interview from anywhere I applied, which I assume was because of my poor gpa and non-target school. Anyway, I...

Title says it all, what are your thoughts?
Full Time Commitment
Hey WSO I have a few questions, So far my BB SA has been going well and I think I stand a reasonably good chance of receiving a FT offer. I like my experience so far and will give serious thought to accepting. However, at the same time I'm not sure if a) I want to work in NYC and b) I even want to...
Can you get your offer withdrawn for a charge you disclosed?
So I got an offer at a MM , pending the background check. The thing is, I disclosed the fact that I was arrested and plead to a misdemeanor theft charge on the eligibility question from the day 1. Throughout the interview, I was never asked about this, so I was a bit confused as to why. But now that...
The Full-Time Question
Hey All, So I'm halfway through my internship at a boutique Canadian PE firm. As it I'm there first summer analyst, I don't think they have a structured FT offer at the end of summer (like most Can BB IB). What do I do? How do I ask? When should I ask?
Summer Analyst Season
All, Due to the volume of PM's that I received by prospective SA's, on getting offers, leveraging offers, I decided to make a post about it. First, I am somewhat saddened by the fact that I won't get to enjoy the company of any Summer Analysts, as my fund that I work at does not have an intern...

Picking a boutique over MBB
Hello! It seems everybody aspires to get into MBB but I'm wondering if anyone here turned down MBB for a boutique (pre-MBA if that makes a difference)? If so, can you share your reasons for doing so and what you perceive the pros & cons of this to be? And are you happy with your decision?

GS Chi/SF vs DB NY, SA 2011
First time poster, long time reader. Thoughts on these two offers? The GS office is one of their better regional offices (SF/Chi)...both IBD of course .

Offer with no Documentation?
Last week I got a verbal SA offer from a boutique firm and I accepted. The firm said that there was not really an official process for documentation or anything like that (it's unpaid). Should I cover my bases and ask for an e-mail offer or something? The firm said that we'd be more in contact as...
Can you use a IBD offer as leverage to get a asset management offer?

School deadline vs bank deadline
I have an SA offer from a bank and HR has let me know they want to know very soon, however my school's OCR policy gives me much more time (like 3 weeks). Should I simply "politely inform" them of my school's policy, or will this make me seem like a douche? In reality, I feel like I would only need...
Another offer decision thread
I know there are plenty of these threads, but here's my situation. I'm choosing between BarCap Chicago, a top MM (Jefferies, Houlihan Lokey) in NYC , Peter J Solomon and Piper Jaffray NYC . What do I do with my life, WSO? Assuming the most important things in life are exit opps, comp and hours, of...
Fighting a first year analyst=auto-dinged?
At this BB I interviewed at, there was a first year analyst there that graduated from my uni that I got into a fight with. we hate each other. Would he have any sway over my application even though he didn't interview me? I did notice that a buddy of his that wasn't very qualified got a job there...
Disclosing to one bank that you have already signed
I was fortunate to land my top choice for SA IBD and I naturally signed with them. Last night an associate from a top BB calls me and invites me for their superday (didn't have 1st or 2nd round) for this Friday. I hesitated to tell him on spot that I am out of the recruiting process for now, and...
UBS (HK) GCM SA --> FT Offer Rate
Does anyone know what the offer rates are like for UBS (HK) GCM SA? Many thanks
Got an SA offer and signed: what are my next steps?
Basically, what are the next steps after you sign an offer? When do they send you the backgorund check papers? When should one start looking for housing (my understanding asap since NYU fills up so fast)? When do people start networking for group selection? Is there anything else that will need to...

Is an offer likely after this?
I recently had a superday at a regional BB for an SA IBD position . Yesterday I had a phone interview with an MD that went well and at the end of the interview they used language that seemed really positive to me. They really encouraged me to call them back personally if I was required to make a...
Friend reneged on offer...how do I approach the firm
So my friend and I both recently had a superday at the same boutique, and he got the offer. He verbally accepted and then later reneged because he found a better opportunity elsewhere. My question is, I know I was a backup, and already received a rejection e-mail. What would be the best way to...
