What's up ladies and gents - how are we feeling about reaching out to close friends at other banks about lateral openings for a current first year analyst? I guess it is networking like usual, but has anyone had success with this / do analysts have any standing at all to help in the process?
Thinking a buddy could send my resume to a member of the team if he knows that group is hiring.
Thanks all
