Was at a UMM fund (think $10-15bn fund) for three years before lateraling to a high performing LMM fund ($1-1.5bn) and securing a VP promote in the process. After a year here I think LMM isn’t for me and I want to look at bigger deals again. Is this feasible at this point or am I shut into LMM?

Even if that's not the full story, UMM/MF firms are not looking for the needle in the LMM haystack when they have a line of laterals from the same level of firm
