Lateral to Sr Analyst / Associate without MBA
Hey monkeys, So I started my current IB Analyst gig a few months ago and I am starting to think about the long haul. I'm at an industry focused boutique which has few to no associates and no real "promotion track". It's made up mostly of analysts and senior bankers. Given that I have my CFA and...

Lateraling as analyst-Less relevant group with lots of deal flow vs relevant group with none??
Recently finished as a summer analyst in a LevFin group of a large non-BB bank (BMO, WFS, RBC) in their east coast office.

What would you guys say are the best headhunters to use for IB laterals? I found a few topics on this but they are all outdated and generally do not have great responses.

Lateral Superday Prep

Lateral to Top MM Shop and Ask for Signing Bonus?
Should I expect relocation bonus and signing bonus when lateraling from one shop to another (top MM)? If not, is it bad to ask for one? I guess my question really stems from how easy it is to negotiate stuff like this and general compensation when lateraling to a large shop that may be fairly...
