1) Let's say I'm a 2nd-year analyst at a BB, and deciding between a few exit opps. If I decide to go to PE or HF, how easy is it to go back to IB if I absolutely hate it?? 2) Let's say I'm a newly promoted A2A associate at a BB, and I'm like "fuck, I should've done PE." How hard is it to switch to...

Everyone on this forum talking about how MF PE is 2x worse than IB for work/life balance, similar pay at junior levels, and very little chance of making partner or getting that coveted spot at the...

Is there a typical test banks have you do when looking to lateral (1 yr experience)? Also, are most lateral interviews more or less technical heavy? And to what level (basic/advanced?)
