Moving Upmarket from LMM but Title Demotion
I know some variations of this question have been asked ad nauseam but what I’m not seeing is info from people who have moved down in rank but upmarket from relatively unknown LMM to UMM/MF. Put differently - is it more difficult to move to a larger or “better” brand name firm if one is open to “redoing” their associate years? Would 2 years IB + 1-2 years of LMM PE experience be viewed favorably to folks looking to fill AS1 seats at larger funds? Though potentially myopic, and too prestige-seeking, I’m wondering if anyone has insight into this. Thanks

I’ve seen it several times and think this is pretty common for people who are “trading up” significantly. Most common is losing one year (eg, lateral over after your second year and start as a second year associate) but have also seen people completely restart their associate programs.
If looking to “trade up” do you think it would be better to ride it out at the LMM spot or go back to a better banking group?
