I’m currently a first year analyst at a middle market bank with a strong presence in capital markets but limited exposure to M&A. My deal experience so far has primarily been in private placements, SPACs, and IPOs. Would it improve my chances of lateraling if I made it clear that I’m open to restarting as an Analyst 1, or is that not a significant factor?
