Investment Banking Associate to MM/BB Analyst

Hi All,

I am an associate at a LMM boutique investment bank. I worked my way up the ranks fairly quickly just based on my transaction experience (I got promoted to associate after 17 months). Is it possible to lateral to a MM/BB shop as an analyst? Does being an associate hurt me in a recruiting aspect? I am not sure if this a stupid question, anything helps. Thank you!
