A2A Lateralling

Curious about what the general process may look like for A2A laterals (under normal market circumstances). A few particular questions such as:

  • Are A2A laterals preferable to MBA associates / would you have to do a year of senior analyst first?
  • How 'upstream' can you go from a MM bank/boutique?

Thanks!
