Starting at a LMM IB this summer but ultimately want to end up at an upper MM PE firm (requires BB branding.) Has anybody had experience trading up firms multiple times in their analyst stints? I can probably make it to the top of the MM chain in my first lateral but def wouldn't be competitive for a BB bank. Thanks.
