Got a lateral offer to better firm, what to do?
2nd year at lower tier EB (Greenhill, PWP, etc) and got a lateral offer from (Evercore, GS, PJT, etc). I really like my team and I was top bucket my first year but I don’t know if I should take it. It’s in a location I want to be and will give me exposure to the types of deals I want. I’m close with 2 mds on my team (shoot the shit with them, they take me and other analysts out for drinks sometimes). Want umm PE and didn’t recruit last year

I'm just an SA but I would lateral

Yo, how can you be saying PWP is lower tier pal, haven't you seen the recent thread?!
Any group info? Better firms don’t mean better pe exits
Mid/Top group, won’t give a lot more info but most people exit to respectable or well known pe firms
sounds like very good stint and you def know better about your situation than most people here.
On a separate note, I am not at any of the top 3 places you listed but was about to secure a reputable UMM PE from off-cycle. Feel free to pm.
Grass isn't always greener on the other side
But the exit ops might be
nah
I've always wondered how those top banks recruit for lateral positions if you don't mind sharing. Could you apply for it or they only use an 'internal' channel.
I got this through a friends roommate that works at that bank
Probably not worth it tbh, especially if your primary motivation is better exit opps. You'd be foregoing your bonus after putting in half a year's worth of work already.
Ehh the pay difference isn’t a huge factor and I care more about exit ops. Culture at my current group is good (80-90 hours every week but seniors are nice, even if they push too hard sometimes) but deal flow isn’t amazing.
Nah not worth it
