How to lateral to GS
Have spent >1y in a low-tier bank (MS/DB/UBS/Barc) in London.
I'm tired of working on small deals and sh*tty marketing for seniors who can't make revenue. It feels like I'm not learning to win as the team's senior bankers aren't winners.
I want to lateral to a T1 bank (GS/JPM/RBC/EVR) and learn from winners. I'm confident in my technicals & interview skills, and can grind. What do?
There's no secret sauce - look for openings and apply to them, reach out to people if you can find folks on those teams. Even at the top banks they are not going to teach you "how to win" lol even the most dominant banks are not doing anything wildly different than a lower BB, they just have more market share/better relationships
The lateral market has been dead for 3 years at this point, and tariff stuff is very unlikely to inspire anyone to grow their teams (or even replace headcount that's leaving). Lateraling before 1 year is also pretty unlikely since few first year analysts are likely to have left so quickly
MS is low tier. RBC is tier 1? Think you might be smoking something - either way. Common way for lateral is literally applying to specific team job openings. Careers portal / LinkedIn - some HHs recruit for IB laterals, but quick difficult nowadays.
