Yes, but I would have no idea how to get in!

They had a recruiting event at my school a few years back, it was interesting.

Unfortunately I've probably done a little too much torrebting to be considered 😂

I did. They offered 52 coming out of school and required relocation to VA. My firm offered 65 and I could stay put.

Was recruited for GB when I was leaving the military. Chose consulting because it’s 2x the money and a comfortable life. Certainly there’s days I doubt that choice but overall I have no regrets.

I have been selected at citi but HR is unable to release offer letter.

HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
