Hey ya’ll, Currently a A1 at a tier 2 BB in the healthcare coverage group and am strongly considering exploring lateral opportunities. I’m fairly familiar with the Tier 1 BB’s for this space and will definitely make an effort to apply. Would appreciate any insight on the Healthcare EB space....
Analyst Lateral Interview Questions
I am currently working at a super small no-name shop. I want to move to a bigger shop. I did a lot of studying while in undergrad but have not studied for a while(I am one year out of undergrad). What interview questions do you get asked when you try to lateral from a no-name shop to a MM or a BB...
GS/MS Internal Transfer to NYC from HK
Hello - I'm currently working at a top BB (think GS/MS) in Hong Kong (IBD). I come from a target US university and would ideally want to be able to get back into the US after working in HK for a year or so. I would need sponsorship, but don't need the H1B visa. Has anyone made such a switch before?...
Lazard Real Estate
Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows much about Lazard's Real Estate IB team? They did some deals with Brookfield which seems pretty cool, and seems like an all around solid team. I was just wondering if there is some insight on hours, culture, and in particular exit opps? If I realize...
Former intern at a BB, now FT. Having difficulty lateraling, any advice appreciated.
For some context, I was part of the 2019 SA program in sales and trading at a top BB (think GS//MS/Citi), but unfortunately I didn't make the cut then. The reason I was given was due to no headcount on my desk (which was true to a certain extent as they didn't hire an analyst till Two years later),...
Lateral from Regional Boutique
Currently an A1 at a regional boutique LMM bank, with a goal of eventually exiting to PE. I'm well aware that exit opps from a regional boutique to PE are very limited, so I would imagine lateraling to a more well known bank is a better bet. How feasible is it to lateral to an EB or BB from a...

Moving from HSBC M&A to more 'reputable' banks?
I'm looking for general advice or opinions that people within the industry may have from their experiences.

Should I renege a top-tier BB research for another top-tier BB trading?
I have signed an offer for a top tier BB's research division (think GS/JPM/MS) as a lateral hire and my background check was already completed. But I just got this other offer from another top tier BB (GS/JPM/MS) but it's with their trading division (which I definitely like more and and the role...
When is the best time to lateral as an associate?
Simple story, think many can relate. I'm a first year associate at a top quartile MM PE firm and am getting solid experience (have closed several deals since starting, as much responsibility as I want to take on). The caveats are: 1) It is a 2-and-out program 2) It's a literal grind. Think 2ams 3-4...

Struggles of a lateral hire
I am a lateral hire in IB that is two months on the job. I lateraled from big 4 TAS after 1.5 years there. Technically I am a second-year analyst, but my responsibilities make me feel more like a first year. I am getting staffed on easy deals whereas all the other analysts are getting staffed on...
Why Lateral Twice at the Analyst Level? Can it be worth it?
If you're at a mid-market bank (think Piper/William Blair/RBC/HL/Leerink...etc) trying to recruit for MF PE firms, it's unlikely you will get a look given the avg. transaction size difference. Moving to a BB will certainly improve your chances but what if you end up at a second-tier BB (so not GS,...

Bank reaches out about lateraling before internship even starts
I recently had a bank that I interviewed with for SA 21 but couldn't make the timeline work reach out about lateraling even though I haven't even started my internship yet. It was a firm that I was really interested in and has better exit ops for PE than the firm I'm working for this summer, but the...

When to start networking for lateral?

So, I am from a semi-target looking to lateral.

I am a third-year analyst at a family office seeking advice on lateraling. We invest in core/core-plus assets around the country and AUM is north of $3B.
