Target school student (LSE/Oxbridge/Warwick) with a graduate scheme offer at an MM. Wondering how possible it is to lateral to a BB/EB after 1-2 years at an MM, and whether or not it really matters where you start your career as a banker?
EDIT: Lol myb I should clarify that I am not at Warwick, don't know why there is so much Warwick hate on WSO

matters. see my post.
Hey, saw your post earlier, but was more curious about laterals into BBs/EBs rather than buy-side placement if you have any input on that
laterals to eb and bb no issue. tough to get into top 3 banks though - not common at all. common is Lincoln to HL etc etc etc (insert any MM names). MM to EB common aim for many - although most cannot so cycle through MM firm hence chances of being career banker higher if you are at MM.
You can very feasibly lateral to a top banking group from a MM role. From there you can do literally anything.
thanks prospect! Easy as that, go to Goldman TMT from Warwick and then to Apollo or KKR
I'm partial to some Warwick shitposting, but what prospect said wasn't really wrong, was it. Do 2 years at a reputable MM, get crushed and get 3-4 deals under your belt and it's more than feasible
