For those who have successfully lateraled to experienced PE/IB analyst positions: where did you come across the postings for your role?
Curious to hear if most find them sporadically posted on Indeed and LinkedIn, or if you made a concerted effort to find opportunities through headhunters.
Would appreciate any feedback!
