Move from boutique PE to top tier BB
Hi guys, has anyone ever done the above?
I have an interview coming up at top tier BB (MS/JP/GS) (natural resources team) and they are looking to hire someone from the buyside.
Quick background - did internship in BB (generalist role), full time offer in a boutique PE after undegrad covering coal industry for a specific country market for 2 years and now considering moving back to BB.
Reason: disillusioned by PE - screened tons of deals in 2 years but only closed 1 deal. Attracted to BB due to higher deal traction in Asia + coal sector is bearish.
I wanted to see what you guys think of my response to 'why apply to us?' question
- Great dealflow traction in a small team of currently 1 analyst supporting 3 senior bankers hence more exposure to execution (4-5 active deals currently in a small natural resources team)
- Wider coverage of sector (they are covering non-coal sector as well), & geography coverage (instead of just focusing on a country)
if they wouldn't consider you for FT, they wouldn't have given you an interview.
yes you are right. In fact I'm lucky enough to get this interview at all.
Just wondering if you would have any suggestion how I should best present myself forward for the job? I am sure they will ask why move back to banking....
