Analyst or Firm
Wanted everyone’s thoughts on wether analyst or firm is more important?
Specifically I work at a “no name” firm but my analyst is very well known across the street (not ranked but still well known with good buy side traction)
Would I be better off at a BB working for a lesser known analyst?
What's your goal after SS ER?
Goal would be a MM HF
If your current boss has good buy-side traction, no need to move around.
What it would be if choosing between lesser known analyst in the sector (plus no name bank) I want to cover vs better known analyst at a BB in the sector I’m not that interested in? Target is also the sector I want to cover at buyside, but based on what I viewed in Linkedln, it’s rare to change sector, right? Thanks you for your insights in advance.
I would only change if it's the same sector because you want to cover that sector on the buy-side.
Yes, it's rare to change sector and you will need to explain that in your future buy-side interviews.
Got it, thank you!!
I don't think you need to make a move. From my experience (~1.5yrs SS ER), recruiters are going to ask about your experience (what you specifically do on the team), what your team is known for (modeling, corporate access, deep dives, etc.) so as long as you can speak well to what you do and have the knowledge to back it up I wouldn't worry about the name of your bank.
On another note though - what makes you think you have to go work for a lesser-known analyst if you did move to a BB? Just something to think about.
The analyst is more important than the size of the bank. In the industry I work in the analysts from Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan are literal whos, the couple analysts on top are at the boutique and middle market firms. This isn't always the case of course. Like others have mentioned it really all depends on how connected your analyst is
