Lateral recruit next year or participate in on-cycle for FT 2025?
Currently accepted a FT 2024 IB offer at a boutique, but the firm is very small and I would want to lateral to an MM or BB in the future. For the lateral move, I was considering two options:
After a year of experience, I’ll lateral as normal in 2025 to another firm
I will participate in FT 2025 recruiting in August 2024 as an experienced new grad, and if I get an offer, I’ll join the new firm in June/July 2025 with the on-cycle class
For both options, I would still work at my current firm for a year, and restart as an Analyst 1 at the new firm.
Was curious which option would be better, or if option 2 is possible and if there were any caveats, thanks!
You aren't eligible for FT recruiting as an experienced grad... the positions all have a set grad date (so for FT 2025 they would be December 2024 - June 2025 to be eligible). So will have to lateral through the normal process
OP here, got it thanks for the help! Was just asking bc I see job postings where they ask for 0-3 years of experience so I assumed experienced hires could apply for on-cycle FT positions
Same situation here but even worse. I need to hit the H1-b too lol to lateral and do on cycle. Wondering what people who don’t hit it do? I know MFs will sponsor but have been told that it will be used against me when comparing to other candidates.
OP here and same, also would need H1-B sponsorship. The advice I've been told is to just apply, firms will get around the sponsorship issue if the team likes you enough
You need to network heavily as an international - also some firms are simply firmwide policies on no sponsorship, so I would view this as more of a list of firms that do / don't rather than a list of suggestions
