Hi - I’m an equity research associate at a BB with 2 YOE trying to switch to IB. What advice do you have? I’ve been networking and reaching out to recruiters, but nothing’s materialized.

Lol and why in the world would you want to do PE? Even worse
Have only really heard of/seen this happening internally or in specialised divisions like Pharma or for very senior people.
