I've heard bankers from other groups at HL compare the FAS guys to Milton from Office Space. So internal lateral is potentially tough. Also the industry groups at HL generally self-execute, so the M&A guys don't really do too much from a deal flow perspective.
Conversely, I think OpCo's reputation has gone down in recent years, but I did have a college acquaintance lateral to lev fin at a BB after 1 year at OpCo, so take that how you will.
Thank you I appreciate the insight.
