EB Regional Office - Am I Screwed?
Incoming FT analyst in M&A at a top EB (CVP, EVR, LAZ, MOE) but in a non-NY office.
I know this is a priveleged position to be in, but am I already out of contention for top PE funds by not being in NY? From a top 10 school with good GPA and other strong work experience but as full time is approaching, I'm worried that I limited my career before it even started.
Should I try and make a move internally to NY or lateral to another firm?
Depends on location - If you're in SF/LA you should be fine especially with tech(/healthcare) firms. Chicago is ok too. Houston is the only one where I'd say you may struggle to make it to NY, especially for UMM/MF.
Your firm is not going to let you lateral until a year in and it's way too late to renege
Lmao I’m in Houston, but still a sophomore waiting on SA2023 to come. What do you think I should do? I don’t want to renege because it has severe consequences at my school. Do you think I should just network with NY in the mean time and recruit for full time then?
Yes probably, although FT is a bit tricky - you can't start networking now, you need to wait until week 2/3 of your internship so it looks like you gave it a chance. I def wouldn't start networking now, those emails would legit find their way to your Houston office. Depending on what firm you're at internal lateral may also be an option
Yeah I actually just chose an EB in SF/LA over BB in NYC for tech/healthcare, and from what I’ve been told we should have no disadvantage compared to others (top school, strong GPA too) making it to top MF in NYC later if we want to
Logistics of getting to ny for on cycle?
It is relative per group, especially with non-nyc offices. I’m in a “lower” EB in Chicago and almost all analysts (90%) place into MF/UMM on-cycle. But I’ve also heard regional offices like pwp sf etc. aren’t close to their main office with regards to exit opps
greenhill chicago has great placement yeah
Idk about recruiting next year but I’m in a regional office and a lot of top funds were willing to make it work over Zoom.
Where did the folks in your firm sign to?
Yeah you’re screwed
