Regretting My Bank Choice – FT Lateral Advice?
Hey everyone,
I’m an incoming SA at a balance sheet bank (RBC, WF, BMO) and just went through group placement. I haven’t found out my specific group yet, but honestly, I’m already not feeling the vibe at my bank. The people I’ve interacted with so far just don’t seem like a great fit, and I’m starting to question whether I should even consider staying for FT.
I know it’s still early, and I plan to give the summer a fair shot, but I’d rather start planning ahead in case things don’t work out. I’d really appreciate any advice on the full-time lateral process—when and how to start networking, what matters most in FT recruiting, and which banks are more receptive to laterals.
If anyone has been in a similar situation, how did you navigate it? Would love to hear any insights.
Since when is Jefferies a balance sheet type bank?
I’d say it’s too early to second guess this, give it a proper try before you spit them out.
