A1 Recruiting London

Currently I’m an Analyst 1 at a MM and I’m looking to lateral to another bank. Most banks only have their Off-cycles open. Are banks strict on being a recent graduate for these roles? I’ve been working for 12 months. What are other options / best paths?

Absolutely love my team, great atmosphere, decent hours, very experienced, but everyone is very senior. I’m afraid I’ll be doing the same stuff when I’m an associate as there is no intention on hiring more juniors any time soon

 

JP has been releasing openings, keep an eye out for that. EVR too. William Blair I think as well. 
 

try speak to HHs who handle IB recruiting, market picking up - huge pipeline for 2025 for sure.
