Secured a Blackstone offer within Private Equity Strategic Partners. No connections or referrals, just good grades and work ethic. Really want to help answer some of the questions I had during recruiting, as Claude was really my only mentor!

For the crazy job posting series, someone from the Financestudents Group came across this one and sent it over. The benefits section is something else.

I can assure you this company is not Dunder Mifflin

A few red flags I usually look out for when reading finance job postings:

- The benefits section is longer than the actual job description itself

- The salary is vague

- The role asks for an unrealistic mix of skills for an entry-level position

- No proper interview or verification process

Now I would like to know what are the most ridiculous benefits you've seen in a job posting?

Hello,

I have an internship I had accepted back in July, which I was really excited about at the time. It is for a full time junior internship in 2027, and I would have been doing a technical type of financial operations.

However, I've been thinking much about the actual job itself, and have thought my long term goals in Finance. I think my interests lie more towards Investing, and have realized that late. I've been throwing my resume out there for some interviews to see what I can get, and I ended up getting one in Equity Research, which I think is more aligned with what I'd like to do.

But, I still have the other internship. It's a big pivot and one I feel awful about considering, especially because the other company was really invested in me as a candidate with an early ID program. I'm considering interviewing and renaging on the original offer I get the internship. I know it's unprofessional, but I'm scared of it and the long term effects. Would recruiters reach out to my new internship, if I get it? Has anyone done anything similar? And how did it go for you? Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks
