How does one go about lateraling in IB? I actually quite like the job but want to switch firms due to culture / comp reasons.
Any help would be appreciated. For context, I’m at a MM shop in Chicago (Blair / Baird) and went to Northwestern/UChicago. I’m an analyst / asso and am sector agnostic.
Any help would be appreciated, just need to get out of here lol

Just start sending out apps if you have good deal experience you’re golden - how is culture at current shop?
Sorry do you mean just monitor whether there are openings at other shops?
Ya that, networking with former peers, etc
How is cuklture there - looking at lateral associate
Would not recommend - culture depends on group at my firm. With that said, horribly mismanaged shop at a higher level
