Yes, I personally know several people who have.
Yup know several associates, VPs, MDs that have at some point been on the buyside
Do you know why they choose to leave? How does comp differ?
Could be any number of things:
The idea of buyside always being better than sellside exists only on this website and in the heads of virgin college students.
OH! I don’t believe one is better than the other at all. I’m super interested in all aspects of finance and business. I understand that Pay can differ between the two. However I’m only in Highschool and I’m just trying to learn more about culture and everything.
If you're in highschool just focus on getting into a top college

Alexa, find me the worst post on WSO
This is obviously a moron individual who might be a 3rd year at a crap shop or an undergrad, but to provide clarity: No, no they don't. The cuck analysts without direction do, but the sharpest individuals in the long run end up taking risks to create their own business or manage their own funds. The best analysts actually apply what they learned in valuation and recognize career paths that optimize their personal well-being and their financial position. Unfortunately, you will never do these things because you lack originality and a sense of self. You will say culture is BS because you will never be able to experience what a firm with good culture is like because they will instantly recognize how much you suck. Or, if you are lucky enough to hide it, they will call for a reference and your peers will mention how you have sharp elbows and don't have the ability to manage. The world is small and your asshole behavior is recognized and you will end up in a job surrounded by assholes. Kids, this is a lesson of what not to be and the sad reality of finance--there are a lot of people like this. Good news, the snakes and assholes and the good people do separate out the further you move in your career.
Seems like some softie was hurt by my words and bravely threw some ms. good luck getting your promotion.
Well idk
Why the fuck is a high schooler posting this, go get laid you pussy
Thanks Mr. Intern. Because I’m looking into my future, Mr. Intern. Because I’m interested in Finance Mr. Intern. You go get laid while you still have the hours Mr intern.
Good luck breaking into banking, you seem like a very weird kid
Do you think intern is supposed to be an insult or something? Do you know how recruiting works?
yes, quite a few people at my bank came back after two years and i work with a number of VP+ who spent time in CorpDev or PE.
I can't tell you how many sell-side analysts have a stint like "13 months at Citadel" on their resume before jumping back into ER.
Is ER rewarding? I heard people say things like “I’m stuck working in ER” is it not the place to be at the end of the day? I really know nothing about it
