Currently at a LMM boutique, have closed 3 deals in just over a year in the industrials space (EBITDA range 3-20mm), I’m paid just under street. The plan originally was to lateral to a MM bank after a year, but due to the market opportunities are pretty poor. If I stay another year I should complete 5 more based on current live deals. Do I continue searching for an exit or just give up? Getting discouraged by the lack of opps rn

Would keep recruiting with the expectation you won’t find something great for a while. Your profile will only improve with time so getting the interview reps in is only beneficial in my opinion.
Just under street… how much exactly?
I make 80
That’s not bad. Depends where you are located. NYC or other region? Depends on COL
