2025 Lateraling/Rerecruiting
Looking to hear how the lateral market is shaping up this year. For reference I am an SA at a tier 2/3 city trying to gauge the market, and how it is looking for either re-recruiting or lateraling in general down the road.
I am happy in general with my group, but just looking to get a little more exposure to larger deals and get a change of scenery.
Curious to hear opinions on if these reasons warrant a re-recruit or if I have it good and should stick it out for a year or 2. On average the team works 50-65 hrs a week and is very laid back.
Also, any advice on both would be much appreciated, I come from a non target and recruiting was a pain the first time around, so if anyone has experience re-recruiting from this position I’d love to hear. Thanks in advance!
I'd put your best foot forward to see if you can slide in a FT Analyst spot, its not unheard of from MM in a Tier 2-3 to a FT program on the street
I’m currently a IB SA in a tier 2 city at a regional boutique that does M&A. I just got put on a live deal so my resume will be pretty polished for FT recruiting. I ideally want to start in NYC FT. Should I only target MMs? Or should I try my luck with BBs and EBs? Any advice is appreciated.
Definitely give them a shot, you won't be as competitive as some other candidates but it's possible. I was in a similar spot to you and got interview at BB/EBs last year
Do not want to hijack the thread but same also looking to lateral rn but already in NYC. How is the general lateral market for Analyst rn? Similar eductaion background to OP as well
Its been spotty this year, waves of postings early in the year - many pulled due to liberation day. Certain groups are still hiring.
Issue for recruiting right now is that Analyst I and MBA Associate classes are hitting the desks so there is not a substsantial need for more juniors
Yah i had a feeling that would be the case. Thank you for confirming my thoughts! Do you think Fall/Early Winter would be better for lateral spots?
