This is my recent story. I want to let you know that there are always opportunities there. Just keep trying
So the past month I have been freaking out, as I have been getting dinged at big/mid/small banks and started going bezerk and thinking about transferring, started looking for reasons for my lack of success in the recruiting process except for a quant gig at a very respected place that I dont want to go to. Sending resumes out like a mad crazy man. you probably saw some of my desperate threads here.
I want to let everyone know that the market is bad, but there are opportunities out there. Dont give up. Persistance pay off. I was going to close my recruiting chapter for this year and just give up and go work at a tiny PE (since I dont want to work as a quant).
I had an interview with a BB recently and I was gonna give up and just not do it because I have been very sleep deprived lately as it is exam time. I made myself stick through that interview. To add to that, it's my last interview of the year so mentally I have given up already.
Guess what happened. I got an offer at a freaking BB, as a sophomore too!! I know I am very lucky, and obviously i accepted it right away.
To those of you still looking. Dont give up. Sometimes you think you do so much and nothing happens...maybe the next time you do it, it happens for you. Had i given up and not gone through that interview, I would have just lost myself my dream internship. so my point is, dont give up. Hard work will be rewarded.
