I am currently working at a MM IBD looking to go to the buyside. While that is Plan A, I do realize that a lateral to a BB would greatly increase the odds of an exit and to more reputable firms.
Do headhunters typically work on both buyside and BB IBD mandates? Or do firms specialize in particular fields of recruitment? Is it okay to present this 'dual track' case to headhunters where Plan A is buyside and Plan A2 is BB IBD?
Some headhunters work with both banks and funds (e.g., Glocap, Pinnacle, Juno, I think Mercury).
I've heard that headhunters typically do not like indecision because from their perspective, they are looking for the best possible candidate to get hired by their client. Someone who has the confidence and drive to pursue a specific opportunity comes across better than one who is all over the place.
That being said, I'm not necessarily sure it would be detrimental, because in your case, you know you want to go to the buyside, but are willing to go take an alternative path to get there.
