TAS => IB

Hi all,

I’ve worked just over a year in Transaction Advisory Services, more specifically Financial Due Diligence at a top-10 accounting firm (US). This is my first job out of school and I am looking in to making the lateral move to a role as an Analyst at a middle-market or boutique IB. I’m hoping to hear from anybody who’s made a similar transition & any tips you might have for me. How doable is this? Might be worth mentioning I went to a non-target, double major in accounting & finance, 3.3 GPA, no CPA/CFA. Thanks guys!
