EY to Jefferies (Lateral Analyst)
Hey all,
Currently debating a move from EY to Jefferies IBD and would love the community’s thoughts. A bit on me:
Target undergrad 3.8 GPA; finance New York Goal: b-school (M7) Current: EY
Currently work at EY in our Strategy & Transactions practice under EY Parthenon doing a lot of M&A-related work. Have done a bunch of internal rotations and had a good experience but always planned to lateral to an M&A IBD banking group after a year to get the experience.
Interviewing across a range of groups at Jefferies, primarily M&A & some coverage teams. Just curious people’s opinions on making the move over from EY?
I want to get the M&A IBD experience and go to M7 b-school in a couple years.
Have interviewed for Goldman & Blackstone, among others, so I have options. Not sure when the right time to pull the trigger is, and where to head. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!
Yeah so make sure you compare offers don’t make decisions like that prematurely. When you have the offers in hand is when you should ask the question.
Because many aholes on this site have been deleting their original thread after getting a useful answer, I am copying and pasting OP's question below in case that happens

I think you can use the quote function and achieve the same thing?
Take the offer if you get it? JEF > EY? Not sure why GS and BX are relevant (or JEF for that matter). You don’t have any offers if I am reading your post correctly. This post is like me asking if I should go to Sloan because I applied there but have other options (except not having any options, including Sloan). JEF is a good bank. It has a well documented shit culture.
Not quite sure how your GPA or school matter in this question if you are working FT.... are you intern or do you actually work there? Those are two completely different things. You should be listing things you like about the firms or roles your comparing, not trying to subtle flex. Same with the GS and BX. You said it yourself, you want IBD.
