Urgent: PE Offer after being fired
I just received an offer from an upper MM PE shop in NYC for a summer 2020 start. The worst part of the situation is that I was fired from my current bank (with 1 month given for the transition). Given I'm technically still employed at the firm, I didn't volunteer this information while going...

Received a Full-time Return Offer... Leap of Faith?
I recently received a FT return for a lower tier BB in NY . I enjoyed my summer experience, but I'm concerned I won't have the exit opps I'm interested in coming out of my analyst rotation.

Put on HOLD for offer AFTER SA stint??
My story comes after my S&T stint at a BB in NYC . S&T is a bit different from IB , since you rotate between desks. This was not made clear to us until the end, but if you aren't #1 choice at any desk, but still a good candidate, they'll put you "on hold", give offers to some and cut others, and see...

Updating interviewers after offer???
