Analyst in IB -> Analyst in PE?
I'm currently a first-year analyst at an EB in SF and have always wanted to make the move to a top tier investing firm (SLP/Vista/KKR/BX) etc.
Given my firm's mediocre exits (mostly MM/UMM PE or corp dev) in the last few years, I am considering two plans of action and wanted some insight on the pros and cons of each.
1) Lateral to a better bank (GS/MS/Q) and recruit from there as a second/third-year analyst for associate roles
2) Start seeking out PE analyst programs that may be open to taking on a lateral hire
I know I would be giving up pay and a year of hard work/career progression, but if the firm has a history of A2A promotes, I think it will put me in a better position for B-School or a future career in PE.
Happy to hear any and all comments as I continue to think about these options.
Following. In a similar boat. PM me if interested.
"mediocre" lmao you're at an EB kid
Given the exits he mentions, definitely not an EB lol
In SF, even if you're at an EB, unless it's EVR exits are not always consistent "prospect"
