Summer 2011 laterals

Is anyone here a first years at boutique trying to do a lateral after your first year do a better/bigger firm? If so, what's your progress on this? I have begun reaching out to recruiters and friends at other banks but don't plan to leave until I get a full year of experience.

Anyone have success stories moving from small boutique to larger firm in the past or ideas?

So there are banks giving out offers to current first years that start in the summer or start immediately, or both?

I suppose there's no harm in reaching out to a recruiter now, but I think it'd be better to leave with 11-12 months of experience as it could look bad on my resume to leave after 8 months.
