Title says it all, I am currently an analyst at a boutique bank in Chicago. I am curious as to people’s experience lateraling into the middle market and which banks in the Midwest are known to hire experienced analyst throughout the year. I am aware that positions open on a rolling basis but i am looking for insight into what banks tend to have more turnover (and thus, more lateral oppurtunities).
Thanks
