Lateral Transfer Into HK/SG Advice
Currently a 1st year analyst at a major European bank doing DCM / ECM and will be doing a short stint within the S&T side as well. Does anyone have any advice or experience in terms of looking for external opportunities within either IB or S&T with firms within the Asia region? From my understanding...
Lateral from BB investment banking to consulting? (say, after 2 years)
I'm sure there are some bankers who move into the consulting industry after 2 years (and realizing they hate banking and don't want to go into PE because it's too similar). How common is lateraling in from a bulge bracket investment bank to MBB or Oliver Wyman? What titles (Sr. Associate?) are they...
Lateral to BB or stay for MM PE
I'm 6 mo. into my 1st year at a boutique IB in NYC (known/has presence, but not really a "top" boutique). I just spoke to a headhunter about PE opportunities and he was strongly encouraging lateraling to a BB or else PE opportunities might be very limited. I was aware of this when I first started,...

Have a lateral interview coming up. Curious to know if the bank that you lateral into has any interaction with your old bank during the background checks. Do they simply call up HR and verify your old position title and salary? or will they inquire about the work you've done, quality level,...

Lateral phone call.
Monkeys, I have a lateral phone call coming up later this week with a pretty legit MM bank for its tech group. I'm currently not in tech but would absolutely love making the transition. My question to you all is what to expect on the call. It's with a 2nd or 3rd analyst so I don't really know what...
Lateral Interview Question
Currently a 2nd year analyst at a BB which is not doing that great. Have a lateral interview coming up for a stronger (top 3) BB for the same industry group.

Lateralling within ER
It was recently communicated to me that I would not be receiving a raise in base (salary freeze) following a very disappointing bonus. I was already paid 10k below street IMO so this leaves me 20K below street and well below street bonus. FYI, I work for a highly regarded MM /boutique. I'm pre MBA...
Staffing control at boutiques
At a big firm now. It's good when the assignment is solid, but when it's bad, the light at the end of the tunnel is quite dim. For those of you either at boutiques or maybe have lateraled a tier down, did you find you were able to have greater control over staffing? Or do I need to be out of...

SB(s) for a thorough, thoughtful critique. http://www.razume.com/documents/18679 My main concerns are as follows: 1. Transaction experience headers: My wording seems awkward to me.

Lateraling - Offer on the general process?
There aren't many topics here on lateraling. Any advice anyone can offer on the general process? Will the bank to which I'm moving pay for my housing until I find an apartment? Is there any kind of signing bonus? How do I leave my current job professionally? I really like the people I work with but...

I graduated in 2009 from a top-10 school and wasted about a year in consulting before I realized I wanted to transition back into finance.

I've been in my job in BB ER for about a year. It's ok, but I would really rather be in banking.I think I can switch into banking fairly soon--and I definitely can if I wait until my research program ends next summer. No hard offers, but I can find a way in now if I want to. So, is it worth it to...

Under what circumstances should one lateral?
