Lateraling out of WF
I want to move from WF to EB or top BB to better position myself for PE recruiting. How likely/easy is it to do so since WF name is on the up too?

I think it depends what group you're in. If you're actually in M&A and have deal experience, then I think you'll do fine. But why leave brother? Wells Fargo is paradise.
How easy is it to leave?
Really depends on where you're trying to go. If you want KKR or Thoma Bravo or something like that it'd probably be tough. If you want a smaller firm that is focused in something a bit more niche that you have experience in, then probably not so hard.
Enjoy more hours and lower comp!
Lower comp?
EBs pay better than WF, but BBs pay worse
would you do on cycle as an 2 if you leave?
Yes I would, but only if I land up where I want
are you participating in oncycle rn? assuming you're an1 currently
How easy would it be to move externally from the IG DCM group here to a industry coverage/M&A group?
you'd have to move down market
Seen a guy who went from WF SF Tech to JPM M&A NY so think pretty doable
Not hard to get looks. Just need to network like hell from there.
Source: went from WF -> top 2 BB/EB
whats analyst base and bonus at WF? are they a 2 year or 3 year program?
I’ve seen people go to JP or Citi. It’s actually quite common
