Do you think it would be possible to internally lateral to a different group after about a year ?

 

Depends on the MM but generally would give the slight edge to MM M&A because it keeps open most options. 
 

If you want to become a career banker moving from a reputed MM to any BB/EB shouldn’t be hard after 2 years when they have their analyst classes exiting into the buyside
 

The only exception to this is if you’re 100% sure about IB or Capital Markets, and then you’ll just benefit from better working hours. 
 

if money/ ops are your main concern I think the average person starting their career at MM M&A would make a little more
