Just wondering if anyone had heard of any analysts going to an associate trading program after their analyst banking program?

jimbo, would you say this is fairly common?
potential problems?
What would you say some of the potential obstacles are for such a move? Wont the interviewers wonder why you hadn't done the analyst program in the first place? Does any one have any suggestions to how one should go about making the switch. Realistically, you are probably a little over 1 year out of undergrad and apply for an MBA level position. Is firm standard recruiting better, or working with a head hunter?
it can be done as I just did
it can be done as I just did it, a lot of places will look at you as a 3rd year analyst though. of course the questions are going to be why the switch from banking to S&T and if you dont have a good answer you dont have a shot at making the transition. I didnt find headhunters very helpful in my search but that could be bc I didnt meet the right one, firm lateral recruiters were much more helpful imo.
firm lateral recruiters
analyst26- can you send me a list of helpful lateral recruiters that can help me transition from ibanking to trading? where are you at now and how would you compare the ib vs. s&t so far? thanks so much!

no it's not common...b/c most ppl in banking aren't interested in trading particularly.
