Current 1st year at an EB. Did not get looks on cycle (nontarget 3.8?)

Thinking about getting a MM tech offer off cycle and lateralling after 1 year to UMM/MF tech/growth.

Would love to hear thoughts on this strategy or if I should go to a top tech group then recruit?

From observations, if you aren't GS/MS/Q/EVR/JPM/MOE then you aren't going to get much NY looks quoting many other experiences across groups in west coast. Were you recruiting for NY or west coast? If you wanna slide off private, I can DM you
