Lateral from reputable MM to EB or BB
Hi guys,
Just a little backstory. I accepted a FT offer at a MM bank starting next summer. I come from a non-traditional route (think pre-med, engineering) so I accepted the first offer I was able to land because FT recruiting was wrapping up. I never got a chance to interview with the EBs or BB for that reason. However I feel like I have a competitive resume and would have had a good shot at landing a FT offer at other banks had I been given an opportunity.
Now my question is, how difficult would it be to lateral after 7+ months at the MM bank to a BB or EB? And if any of you guys have experience with this/advice I'd greatly appreciate your insight.
Don't have personal experience but I don't think it'll be that hard given you network, apply to all the BB / EB's when spots open up, etc. I also think that it's better to leave right after you hit 1 year.
I lateraled from a "no-name" boutique to a top MM after a year of working and typed up a lateraling guide that you might find helpful. A handful of the analysts at my MM left after a year for EBs and BBs. I would say that overall the process is fairly straightforward and probably easier than moving from a "no-name" boutique since you already have that brand name behind you.
One thing that I would kindly suggest, though, is to keep an open mind. I would not enter your analyst role thinking of nothing more than lateraling. You might find that you really enjoy it at your MM.
Agreed. Going in with an open mind, but want to be prepared for all circumstances. Thanks!
