ER BB to M&A, any advice to break in?

Hi monkeys,

I am an ER sell-side BB (1st year Analyst) and I am considering breaking into IBD in the same sector that I cover. Any advice to increase my chance to break in?

Thanks!

“Michael was a great mentor. He had told me how to stand out as an investment banker and how to utilize my real estate experience to become a great candidate. I also liked what he said about using Bloomberg functions to stand out by seeing what deal flow and IPOs are happening and use those contacts to develop connections. He said to send the email about their deals and then connect those deals to what I am doing with my real estate portfolio and that will be a great way to connect with the person.”
