Leaving My BB
Hi everyone - just wanted to get a sense of whether I am a competitive candidate for lateral role at an EB or better BB. I am a coverage analyst at a lower-tier BB (DB, WF, UBS) who is close to completing my first year. I want to lateral because my office gets zero deal flow.
This isn't true at all.
Once you have a foot in the door, work in IB (even if it is a MM or boutique), you have a very good shot at lateraling to a BB/EB. You just need to have solid technicals and good story on why the move. As an Analyst, no one expects you to have closed multiple deals, that's unrealistic.
People quit all the time, especially Analysts and Associates, spots open up randomly and a lateral move is easy to pull off if you put in the time to network and know where openings are.
pls rename your thread to moving to a BB.
