Currently a 1st year analyst at a bank with a long established and well structured analyst program. I've seen many people with c. 4-5 yrs of exp leaving (and some people returning) from the buy-side. But multiple buy-side opps I found required only 2 yrs of buy-side exp. However, I was thinking if 2 years of sell-side experience is truly enough training. Especially, since many buy-side roles don't offer as much training as the sell-side does (at least on junior level I assume). So according to your opinion, can you have "not enough" experience to move to the buy-side?

I think there's some flexibility in the 2-5 year range because the type of role you'll be given will be moulded to your experience level a bit on the buyside. (so a 5 year covering analyst who jumps over may get a sleeve with their own risk pretty quickly, while a 2 year associate who jumps over will be used more as a model monkey without direct input on the book). I think a bigger worry should be making sure you end up somewhere with the right culture/strategy/PM personality for you.
