Worth Lateralling for Better Exit Opps?

SA at EB with not as consistent exits. Was wondering if it is worth it to put in the work and try to lateral to another EB with more consistent/stronger exits, or a GS TMT/FIG group. 

Goal is MFPE/UMM PE

Mizuho isn't an EB

You laugh but GHL has consistent exits to UMM PE lol. I’d wager this guy is going to a Roths tbh

If you truly believe that moving from MC or PWP to EVR is going to make a material difference on your exit ops, you're a dumbass. You'll get the same looks from any of those places.

If you're truly concerned, ask a trusted analyst for their perspective/experience. But don't lose sight of what's ahead of you - which, above all, should be getting a return offer. If you don't convert, the question becomes one of lateralling to BMO or RBC instead of GS or EVR.

 

Good luck re-recruiting in this climate…GS and top EBs will be cutting seats not adding them.
