Valuation analyst to Investment Banking

Hi,

I was wondering what the exit opportunities are for someone working as a valuations analyst at a firm like Duff & Phelps or BRG (Berkeley Research Group) and how hard will it be shift to investment banking? As the valuations work experience helps improve financial modelling skills and might be involved in providing fairness opinion, I am guessing that an analyst there would still have a shot at IB jobs? Any thoughts or advice would be highly appreciated!

Thank you!

how plausible is a lateral to BBB or top MM  investment bank?

 

I am in a similar spot at a smaller valuation firm (not as big as duff or HL).

How likely are my chances to break into MM or BB?

Should I target any particular coverage group or product group?
