Hey guys,
I'm currently considering moving to a bulge bracket. I have accepted a full-time offer from the bank that I interned at this summer. Although it would be fine if I stayed I would like to try my luck at a larger bulge bracket (JPM, BofA, etc). Is it too late to try to get an interview at one of these places or would it be better to lateral after I start?
Thanks!

Who did you sign with? Unless you signed with a low tier bank, it is not worth risking your current offer.
I signed with Nomura in the NYC office
Hot take but I think you should full-time recruit (at your own risk). If you get something better, don't update your LinkedIn or tell anyone and if HR asks, just say you're doing something in a different industry. I interned at a similar bank (BNP/HSBC/Mizuho) and did FT recruiting. Best decision of my life...better deal flow and people at my current firm.
Life is too short to work at a place with shitty deal flow.
Completely agree with the above.
Can I PM you? In a similar situation where I have an exploding offer and interviews coming up and might have to renege.
