DaisukiDaYo Ok...first off this is S&T to IBD or vice versa, not IBD to IBD. Second, you don't see a cut in compensation at the lower levels, at least not the norm - if your ECM product group is good, you'll work just as hard as any other industry group, probably even harder. No offense intended, just wanted to clear some things up. M&I is a good reference but by no means the norm - for example, DCM bankers made way more than a lot of other bankers last year due to the hot debt markets.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had a really informative and actionable career roadmap with Tim. We went through what I wanted to do longterm and and then we went over the two different paths I was interested in. Tim gave me personal experience of colleagues that made similar steps to the sector that I want to be in. He then provided me with information on the timeline of I should expect when it comes to recruiting and what to do ahead of the time. There was a huge focus on getting a great resume fleshed out, networking with recruiters, current analysts, people who knew people who were hiring. There was a huge emphasis on getting the Series 65 that the company I'm currently working at done before continuing anything else. I look forward to working back with Tim on this endeavor around mid-November. ”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Johnathan was really good at checking out my Linkedin and making surfing there were not many issues with it. He seemed to know his stuff very well and he was curious about all the posts that I had liked and he had different tactics to make sure that my linkedin could stand out from the rest and make it very competitive for my 2028 internship. The only criteria I had was minimal and it was that he was a few minutes late but that is not a big deal, I know he is a busy guy but overall he was great.”

Great resume, mind if I ask why you want to make the switch to IBD from BB S&T?

I'm 7 months into my S&T gig and want to move to IBD. I have tried to gear my resume as closely as possible to IBD, and am in the process of setting up meetings with staffers, so just wanted feedback on how I could make it as geared towards IBD as possible....any feedback from current bankers who've reviewed resumes before would help...

Thanks in advance !

From what I know, lateraling from S&T to IBD is not that common. If it does happen, it's usually the other way around - IBD to ECM or Institutional Sales within S&T. The OP is just preparing for the effects of Basel III, hence he's trying to get out now, before he pigeonholes himself in a dying field.

any comments on the resume itself, or should I move the topic to the public resume review section? Many reasons I want to leave, but what x. said about basel III and pigeonholing are major factors influencing my decision to try to get out before it's too late

Your resume is the cheeks mcgriddles aka very nice. Are you trying to lateral within the bank or to another bank?
