How can they know? Do analysts recommend senior recommendations? Is it deal experience? I'm especially curious how they differentiate lateral hires and how you can prove yourself in the interview.

They call up one of their buddies at the bank and ask them to force rank them. My firm doesn't have anybody call them but at other firms, best to cozy up to this guy.
Also, my wifi connection to this website sucks. MIght accelerate my leaving this website for good.
but if the bank finds out ur trying to later, won't they give the boot. I've heard of this happening at citi.
Why did you link to WSO Citi?
Keep it on the down low, you dingus. No talking about this at work. Also, shows youre bank is pretty sucky in terms of culture. My bank will destroy analysts who they find iout are recruiting against them because of the clawback two year contract. Be careful around them. Need to leave when you get a chance.Anyways, keep it on the down low so you don't get asked to see your computer files and your computer inspected.
