Advice on re-recruiting FT
I am a sophomore in college at a target school. I was fortunate enough to get a SA27 offer last week that I accepted from a good MM bank (HL/RBC/WF). In no way am I trying to sound ungrateful, however, as I look ahead, it seems like exit-opps are much more limited coming from a non-BB/EB, especially if I want to exit to HF/VC.
How difficult is re-recruiting to BB/EB? How can I best prepare myself? (Sophomore summer internship, personal projects, research, etc.) Any help would be much appreciated.
Just keep in touch w ur network throughout the next year -don’t mention recruiting - then mid way through internship reach out to key contacts and let them know you’d like to get in a process if their group is having one.Only reason I’d do an internship sophomore summer is u want to somehow position urself for another group. Ie do a internship at an Econ consulting firm and then rerecruit to DCM or LEVFIN
Not that hard if you have people in ur corner
I’d also not think too much about this until you’ve actually hit the desk
Re-recruiting to a BB/EB from a solid MM bank is definitely possible, but it requires strategic planning and execution. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s how you can approach it:
1. Leverage Your Current Internship
2. Networking is Key
3. Enhance Your Profile
4. Prepare for Interviews
5. Timing and Strategy
6. Exit Opportunities
By excelling in your current role, networking strategically, and preparing thoroughly, you can significantly improve your chances of transitioning to a BB/EB. Good luck!

rerecruiting from mm to bb/eb is doable but the technical bar is meaningfully higher. The 400 questions guide will get you through an MM process but seriously won't cut it at evercore or pjt. Those processes tend to test a bunch of nicher and out of guide questions especially for ft.
So really start building your technical foundation early. For out of the guide stuff most people use marginofalpha so start that prep early. Then really also sharpen your behaviorals on what you worked on that summer, why you'd like to lateral, etc. Start early with the technical prep because once the summer starts you'll have no time at all.
