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
is that type of jump from a lesser known shop to a BB very realistic?
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
could i pm u for a quick q?
Processes are extremely fast — most of them will kick off process late July to early August.
Hence, techs & behaviorals should all be prepped throughout your internship. If you feel like the internship is already slamming you, FT recruiting is not the move(unless you have no option, ie low prospects of return)
Ultimately, like SA recruiting,the caliber of your summer experience matters less if you build a strong network. A wrinkle is that a good amount of these openings are gatekept, and you will not see these as public apps. So you gotta network to even get a chance for some of these groups.
Processes are also insanely fast. Usually wraps up in two weeks (or even shorter).
It is insanely difficult by design: you’re competing with 10-40 kids for one or two spots. Don’t expect it to be easy and good luck if you decide to go through with it.
Thanks for the insight. I have the next 6 months to prep, so I definitely am going to take advantage of that. Is it weird to be networking with these other firms when I have not even started my SA27 gig yet?
