We all know the most common exit from IB is into the buy-side, most often PE. But I am wondering what the reason would be if someone was working as a buy-side equity/credit analyst for an AM (long-only or hedgie) and then transitioned to IB? Especially if the move was made into an associate position or higher. I know each circumstance would be unique, but what reason would make sense for that kind of career change? Why would someone want to go from being an investor to an advisor?
Would love to hear the thoughts of some associates and above on this forum.
Interested in going the other way...
Doesn't really explain why.
I am personally thinking some people prefer the client facing aspect of IBD which you would get much of as a research analyst on the buy-side unless you were a PM, but even then it's mostly quarterly marketing DDs - not the face time you get in IBD
