From family office to analyst program?

Hi WSO,

I am interested in an analyst role with a larger tier bank. My first job out of college, where I currently am, is a small family office "private equity shop" mainly operating within a niche of healthcare.

I do a lot of the typical analyst work described here, minus the financial modeling as we don't have much deal flow. My team is about 7 people, including the CEO/founder of the firm. This is very much so a "sink or swim" environment so I feel like my experience is patchy. The firm doesn't have access to any database or information subscriptions so I endlessly search Google for simple figures I could have pulled from capital IQ during undergrad.

I have been at this position for 7 months and I would like to position my self for a higher tier analyst program for many reasons: I miss the big team feel that was present in college, I would like more resources to do my job with more efficiency, as well as some sort of training or structured role. Since many of these banks recruit from undergrad, how does one get in on the mid cycle recruiting? I have some recruiters reaching out to me, however for jobs that do not interest me. What channels do I use to see who has open seats? I noticed linkedin and zip recruiter get a very small share of banks offering jobs. Also, how do I go about the many future interviews with a small team who can quickly notice some thing is off.

All advice is welcome.
