Positioning yourself as an analyst - First year in a coverage group
For all 2nd yr analyst +:
I am a first year in a coverage group at a (mid/lower) Top 10 with an average/maybe bit above average (top 5-8 on the street)reputation with so-so modeling exposure. What do I need to be doing in order to position myself going forward to allow for opportunities going forward (PE, HF, VC, etc- probably PE though) that may not slip through down as far as they would to a "higher prestige" group/bank.
I'm confident in what I can offer and that my performance will open up some doors, just want to make sure I get it out there to as many people as possible to open up as much as possible.
Thanks.
I think it's important that you do very well in your first year, and establish good relationships with the senior people in your group. The MDs and VPs often have contacts at the PE shops. If you are a top performer (ranked in the top tier) then they might be willing to make a recommendation on your behalf. Also you might want to reach out to the headhunters early.
Anything appreciated.
Thanks.
