I’m in a FAANG and turned down an MBB offer a few months back due to being lowballed on comp and somewhat weird policies when compared to the tech industry, but now my company is a mess due to the recession and I am regretting it. Plus I can still see the original position open on their site.

Should I reapply? Reach out to one of the interviewers? What is MBB policy for this kind of situation? Parting was amicable, but I don’t know if there will be any bias.

Reach out to the recruiter directly and reaffirm your interest.

100% reach out again, just have a good pretend reason to

Purely out of curiosity, what valid reasons would actually fly?

I actually did this and am now working there - no harm in reaching back out unless you burned bridges in rejecting the offer. My rationale was something along the lines of shifting personal circumstances + professional priorities

I think you can absolutely reach out to the recruiter again - it can’t hurt at the very least. I’d go through recruiting first before reaching out to a partner - they’re busy with 100 other things, recruiting is there for this reason.

Out of curiosity what do you mean by a “mess”? Considering taking an interview at big tech.

Well, by this time you probably know what I meant by “mess”. It’s been a while coming…
