Checked out lateral A2 with Buyside offer - How to coast?
I lateraled into my current group as an A2 and was very fortunate to have signed an offer for MM PE.
Don’t really like the group I lateraled too (people are bullies, work is especially repetitive, and turn over sucks).
Wondering if you have any tips on how to coast and mentally check out till I get the bonus and leave?

More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
did you start on-cycle right after you lateraled? was it a jump from MM to BB? probably best way to coast is leverage A1, try to still do decent work but a bit slower, and overstate task length time (assuming you're in a big group and hard to track everyone and no formal staffing sheet) or build more rapport with seniors to get away w things
Super helpful advice!
I lateraled from a European bank to a BB as an A2. Started on cycle right when I hit the desk, was lucky to get staffed on some deals right away.
Cannot stand the people I work with but obviously pretending I love it. Team has horrible culture (not supportive of buyside recruiting, lol)
makes sense, was it really worth lateraling to a BB to help w oncycle? doubt you had enough time to have full deal length cycle experience at BB, did you speak mostly to your deals at the previous bank? sometimes im wondering the marginal if any benefit of going from MM or boutique to BB to hit on cycle right away? would love to hear your insight since you did this
100% worth it. Spoke mostly about the deals I did prior and the one I was currently staffed. It helps because:
In that odd in between where as a lateral, need to prove self to group but massively demotivated because of offer on hand and overall horrible people in my current group. Hope that helps!
