Analyst at mid BB/ how to compete technically with peers from top banks and groups

Hello all, I’m a first year analyst in the M&A group of a mid tier BB. I have heard from people that the quality of reps people get at an evercore or MS M&A makes them much better and technically sound. I know my reality but want to be very technically savvy to be on par with the top analysts and associates on the street- How should I make this happen?

Also curious about this, feel like I am falling behind every day at my shitty bank

 

hm yeah that makes sense. Would try to make stronger relationships with seniors to get more trust and more responsibility.

 

Was there a difference in the level of responsibility at the analyst/associate level between the banks?
 

I work at LMM firm but anecdotally have heard that EBs, even at the analyst level, do a lot more technical work and own the models versus the more administrative work at a BB
