RX Lateraling

Can anyone add advice or insight on the process for M&A analysts looking to switch banks to do RX? I am just starting as a 1Y analyst and regret not recruiting FT for RX roles after learning/reading more about it.

With the current state of the market, will RX groups increase their lateral hiring needs as the debt markets spill over/possible recession over the next 24 months?

Hey yb363, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

If we're lucky, the following users may have something to say: @Valera26rus" @Sh00ter McGavin" @Bison53"

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
