The art of the lateral?
Currently 6 months in as a first year analyst at a MM firm & looking to lateral to another around Q1, what’s the best way to go about this? Or will less roles be available?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’ll be extremely difficult to lateral considering banks are currently to shrinking headcount and you’ll be competing against 2nd/3rd year analysts from BBs for any available positions.
would try to learn as much as possible in your current role so you’re able to beat out the more tenured folks looking for opportunities then. Hopefully deal flow picks up and firms begin to rehire juniors
You haven't been through even one full year of evaluation/bonus and you're looking to lateral???
C'mon, son . . .
Not sure why you're getting down voted but I completely agree
I get downvoted because I have a band of little puppies on WSO that follow me around and downvote all of my posts.
That is the price you pay for being a man that stands on his own two feet :)
