What is the real reason you want to move to a bigger bank? Is it just because of the prospects of a bigger salary and more office politics?
Or could it because because you want to work on larger deals. you want to be able to focus on something specific on a deal instead of doing a lot more on a thinly staffed MM deal team.
Thanks for the response.
Honestly, it is both. At the bank I was working at, the deal flow was limited and as was our resources. I usually discuss the limitation of resources, learning materials and flow, but they always seem to want to hear something else.
You could say that the lack of deals hindered your growth, and that while your team was understaffed you had a larger input to the final result, by not being able to focus on certain factors you have been unable to grow. By working at a bigger firm I would have more exposure to more deals where I be able to learn more to be able to more useful to the higher ups. something like that, worded better.
Never talk badly about a previous job such as stated above in regards to lack of deal flow, resources, etc. Everything should be positive.
"I've been at my current job for xx years and have had a great experience learning x,y,z...I'm looking forward to moving into a larger firm where I will continue to challenge myself and work on more complex deals...I enjoy learning and progressing and I think that by working on larger deals I'll be able to do a,b,c"
IB is all story telling...at the very least you should be able to tell your own.
Great suggestion ke18sb, thank you very much.
