What are most people's experiences of lateraling to BB's? Is it better to make contacts with analysts or higher up (associates/vp's)? I'm currently at a small boutique and I'm looking at moving to BB's like Citi, MS, UBS, BoA, JPM, WF, GS, Barcap. Basically all of them except the more international ones like DB and CS.

Do you also have a better chance of lateral if you apply to the same group rather than a new group?

You were trying to make the move to WF a year ago....what happened, you got fired from your boutique and U JELLY of everyone else getting into the industry.

Jesus Christ man, how long can you troll for?

LOL, a year ago he's trying to move to a BB and yet his name is "boutique" for life. Also was asking for advice on how to get to a BB but yet ends up at a "megafund". He's "stylin" on us, and YES we are Oh sooo Jelly.

You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
 

OP, Wells Fargo is not rapidly climbing the ranks. In one fell swoop, Wells Fargo fortuitously found itself in the upper mid-market and lower bulge bracket crust by acquiring Wachovia and combining the firms' respective investment banking outfits. Wells has not progressed since then.

TMT at Wells is a debt factory. I interviewed there and the M&A analyst I talked with seemed very detached and disillusioned with life there, even complaining that he wasn't doing a lot of M&A.

As Wells Fargo was quite weak in IBD before acquiring Wachovia, legacy Wachovia is the heart of Wells' IBD outfit and Wachovia was never strong in TMT. As another poster said, you should aim for the industrials group.
