Rerecruiting Within Your Firm

Subject says it all, I'm an incoming SA (2023) and I really like the firm that I'm at but my group sucks. It gets no deal flow, not looking to stay in it (MM). Obviously I'll try to get the return and perform the best I can, but I'm wondering what the professional way of going about this is? Do I go through HR when the time's right? When exactly should I do it? Should I start networking with people in other groups right now itself? Would like some advice from within the industry.. Thanks!

Hey Intern in IB-M&A, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Bump. Also interested, particularly when it comes to moving offices after SA.
