Currently have a AM job at a top AM firm in the industry. Wondering how much leverage there is for me to go to IBD?
Couple months into the job now after interning and I realize IB is a better fit considering long-term goal. Also, should I apply with graduating students or do lateral hire?
Thank you for any insights!
