MF lateral as the north star might be a bit overrated unless your goal is to go elsewhere like a HF. The solid MM and UMM teams I work across from get paid just fine and do a lot of similar work and have a lot of responsibilities, just not gonna be on the megcap LBOs like Citrix or Medline or something. 

 

I mean I haven't done PE on-cycle so grain of salt but I would imagine you might do a lateral instead of on-cycle, but I'd ask someone who has made that move or any headhunters you might know and 2nd that you can still get a good grand tiger or similar hedge fund from those firms unless you are Pershing or bust guy...which is a bit silly imo
