Hedge Fund Lateral to IB?
I started my career on the buyside, interning at a small SM, then FT to a bigger one that has a bit of name recognition. Its been a couple of months, but I realized recently that I don't actually like looking at stocks for 12 hours a day, and its a very isolating job.
Want to open my career up and was wondering if it was possible to lateral to banking as an analyst to sort of give myself more time / basically get in to PE or CorpDev. Would the BB's even consider my profile or is it MM/LMM time?
think you caan def get into IB but coming from a solid SM you'lll almost fs have to downgrade prestige I believe (could be wrong though anything is posssible). On a sep note, mind letting me pm you to ask fund name? I'm rly trying to geet to an SM lol
I knew a guy who went from a HF to a top restructuring IB associate role. I imagine you would easily be able to go to ECM, maybe M&A or something not sure though tbh. Keep researching for "data points" / people who've made similar moves on here and on LinkedIn
So you can look at stocks and spreadsheets for 16 hours a day?
Mentioned isolating job and also want more exit opps..
