Has anyone here lateraled as an Associate to a completely unrelated coverage group? Or know anyone who has?
I'm in a RE coverage group, and am interested in restructuring, healthcare, tech, etc. But RE has very little overlap with those groups and I don't want to reset as an analyst - is a move like this possible? Or if I were to go back to being an analyst, how long until associate promotion could be an option?

If an unemployed video gamer who decided to change his employment status to "Influencer" and pursue an MBA at Haas could get a coverage associate job at Credit Suisse, so can you
Yeah I meant without getting an MBA. Obviously I could do this with an MBA
