internal transfers at elite boutique?

How supportive are pwp, lazard and moelis of internal transfers after sa? i.e. transferring from SF/LA to NY - group doesn't really matter

Fairly challenging... the non-NY offices are always going to be a challenge to get to NY after SA

Personally unless you are sure of your chances for FT recruiting, I would not rock the boat with your current group by asking about this. It's always possible to move internally around the 1yr mark, but SA -> FT office upgrade is really tough to pull off

 

So should I just try to secure return offer and ft recruit then? Rly don’t wanna stay with current group

 

What about lateraling from one group within IB to another at an EB once you are already Ft?
