Still no fulltime offer
Well, I did not get a return offer from the place I interned at for the past summer due to a shrink in team size. Went through a bunch of interviews and processes, and still can't land a full-time offer. 4 months till my graduation and no places are hiring rn. I'm feeling extra depressed and want to get some advice. Thanks!
What type of place you interned at? Could always try to reach out to other relevant roles instead of simply ib and then leverage that down the line for an ib offer
Credit / risk is always hiring.
Do that for a year and then apply for first year or second year analyst roles.
Went through something similar in UG when graduation coincided with recession fears & hiring freezes. Landed a solid internship the summer before, although they held off on hiring me because of these conditions. Sounds just like you. I had very good performance reviews and got along brilliantly with the team, but my self confidence took a hit nonetheless as I was gunning for an offer FT. In the span of 6 months I went from feeling like the world was my oyster to feeling panicked. I ‘overachieved’ my GPA/school pedigree by others standards for the internship and now was competing for jobs that I didn’t align with - simply to have something post-grad. Even here I struck out.
A year post-grad I’m back in the same role that I held as an intern, I enjoy my day to day, and see the solid upside potential that FO finance provides. I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.
Figure out exactly what you want your job title to be. Recruit for those jobs and correlated jobs that you can pitch to an interviewer to get the job that you want. Once the cesspool of college seniors enter the workforce ends or they end up going to grad school, competition significantly changes for jobs. You would have a year of experience, and if you stick to your goal (many people get complacent - not as gung ho to work X job in X space as naive college kids are) you can now compete against upcoming grads - where you can now dog those kids with solid professional experience under your belt.
I felt embarrassed as I felt like others excepted me to crush it after graduation, while some of my class mates seemed to have it all figured out. No one cares about this the second you graduate, which is good news. My advice would be to just not get complacent. While some others treat graduation as the end of the ride, it’s actually the start. Good luck and don’t get depressed about this shit if you can…it’s a blip in the grand scheme of things.
edit: a few typos fixed and an after thought that I’ll add here - Be as cognizant of what you want and the value you bring as possible. I have a few friends that entered jobs with the intention of leveraging them. I’ve noticed many of these people end up being good at these jobs, then get paid well for them, while getting treated like a star from management. There are worse problems to have although I wonder if some of them would benefit from stepping back and looking at exactly what they want to do, even if it would erase some of the clout they built at their current employer or would even require them take a paycut in the short term. I’m in pub equites, but if it’s any consolation, the only kid in my graduating class on the transaction side of finance started out with 0 internships post college, searched for months post grad until eventually landing a job doing valuation making less than a public school teacher (without the tax benefits), before going to a bigger accounting firm, then going to a strong MM bank, and is now in PE.
