Hi everyone - just joined and love the great discussions. So I just lateraled to a MM shop from a no name boutique. I was wondering at what point the absolute earliest I can lateral again is? Would love to go to a top BB or boutique for the better buy-side and learning opps. I'm an analyst that graduated in May 2020. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
