Hey,
Does anyone know if Goldman is receptive to laterals from analysts at middle market banks. Would I have to restart my analyst stint if so? If not, do they only try to get the exceptional candidates from UG and MBAs?

Can tell you first hand that they are receptive to building out their MM group with laterals. Not sure what that now looks like in COVID times.
What about not lateraling to MM, but going to a major industry group in NY?
Less likely but doable. You need to really network to make it happen
Curious how the Goldman MM (cross markets) group is doing these days?
Outside of the types of deals you work on, what's the difference between working in cross markets vs. the equivalent coverage group at GS (comp, hours, prestige, promotion opportunities, etc.).
It was pitched to me that the cross markets team has all resources available to them that the larger platform does and that the only difference was size being MM focused. Performance wise, I can say it's a tough cookie to crack into the relationships that MM banks have with their clients and client sponsors so it might be awhile before they get solid traction (read: pitch heavy). Top MM banks use relationships as their bread and butter to win deals an produce repeat business and these aren't relationships that are formed overnight. Historically the larger platforms have given very poor coverage to the MM guys so we'll see how fast they can break in with the money they're throwing into this group
Have a friend who is doing SA at GS's MM group, it's apparently a major focus
