Anyone lateraled to IB from consulting? How was the jump? Almost 1 year of strategy experience now and I feel like it’s now or never to get the true analyst experience for PE later

I moved from IB to consulting. Consulting to IB will likely be way harder without MBA leverage.

I have met some folks who went consulting to IB. I think it’s doable if you have the basic financial statement skills

Disagree with most of these comments. I know personally at least 5 people who did this. A year in, you are still raw enough for banks not to worry about molding you and your current job signals you're bright, ambitious, hard working etc so your profile has some validation.

Just takes some networking with tenacity- reach out to people you went to school with, school alums, and firm alums. Absolutely doable - and btw the comment about joining a BB for exit opps is also wrong - plenty of pe exits from MM banking. TPG and Carlyle are not the only PE funds

In the process now. Really aggressive networking and u have to be on top of your shit since most the open lateral roles aren’t starting with the new analysts but backfilling one that left

I like this post. Do you think I lateraling to a TMT group is possible? Currently work in tech and wonder how that would play out

I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.
