Have an offer this summer for an electronic trading platform on their equities desk. Kind of like sales & trading but focus Is only on equities and no rotational program through any other desks. Was wondering how I could set myself up best to lateral into ECM as I am interested in pursuing a career in something a little more IB focused. Any advice would be appreciated!

There haven't been any lateral openings available and I don't see any coming up anytime soon. Best bet is to maybe somehow get into a first year ECM analyst program.
Thanks really appreciate the advice. Is the reason being the current economic climate? Do you foresee any lateral openings later?
Yes, the flow of the job is very markets-based. As for future openings, you're kind of asking about timing the market...no one can say for sure.
