The recruiting cycle, unless you are doing banking, really is brutally long and painfully evil. This wasn't the 100% perfect perfect job for me -- its the right function, sort-of the right industry but the wrong city. They do say though, function, industry, location, pick 2. I consider myself lucky for having nailed 2 out of 3 (or maybe like 1.8/3)....

I haven't completely discounted my other offers - at least not just yet. Its really down to two pretty interesting opportunities. They compare in function -- but they differ in city and industry.

Sadly, I have a to-do list the size of texas, so despite the fact that it feels like some kind of virulent plague is eating at my head right now, I do have to get up.

Rhyme,

How is the banking recruiting? What do your peers say about the employment prospects in the next 2 to 5 years?

Congratulations Rhyme!
Now that the firms have made their choices, it should feel comforting to know that it is now your turn to choose!

Is banking easy then? Or are you speaking specifically about consulting recruiting?

As for function, industry, location, pick 2. I thought the point of going to b-school was to be able to pick 2.5 out of 3... otherwise, I already have 2 out of the 3 at my current job. :P
