How To ReRecruit for Top Firms

Hi All, current junior here. 

I was fortunate enough to land a sophomore year internship at a small LMM/MM boutique that focuses on deal sourcing/deal facilitation and honestly have gotten really great experience there so far (I am doing part-time throughout the school year). I was also fortunate enough to land a SA 27 gig at a lesser-known MM shop on their M&A team. 

I never recruited for BB/EB's the first time through and wanted to recruit for them for FT roles when the times comes. Wanted to see if there was any thoughts or advice people would be willing to share.

Networking matters a ton as not everything is public, keep a good network with target firms and be ready to interview at any moment

 

being honest, no esp if its from a small LMM/MM boutique. I'm sure its happened before but majority of people lateraling FT to BBs/EBs will come from UMM/ solid MM ( or no RO from BB/EB).

if someone is going to lateral from small LMM/MM boutique, most commonly they will lateral to a solid MM / UMM
