BB Corp Banking to Boutique IB
Hi all,
I'm currently a 2nd year analyst at a BB's (Citi/JPM/BoA) Corporate banking coverage group (under IB umbrella) and want to move into IB, and then PE eventually. Given the market is trash right now, internal mobility is looking pretty weak with no groups currently hiring. I've been interviewing externally and am very happy to have received a couple offers to join either a foreign (Mizuho, Nomura) or boutique NY bank (Bryant Park Capital/Gordian Group). Should I wait out the environment and try to aim for something better like a MM/BB bank or should I leave now? Which offer would you choose and why?
Mind DMing me? In a similar situation
Personally, I'd stay at the BB hands down with the caveat being that it very well could be 2 years before you can lateral internally within your BB (or longer) - and they might make you come on as an Analyst where as you'd probably (?) be an Assoc in CB at that point.
That is just my opinion. If this was a better bank on the IB side, I'd say go for it.
