Worked in a regional tas practice and saw a few leave for IB. However, a lot chose not to go in that direction because of worse WLB.

People in MM FDD do get IB offers as well. You can even go on LinkedIn and search for people who currently work at [insert IB here] and used to work at [insert MM FDD here]. But branding is always relevant. Bankers are notoriously pretentious about schools and experience. And branding just always helps. Even if just sub consciously. So I’ll say going Big4 or big brand will probably help. But if you still want to go MM FDD you’re probably fine still too
You can easily lateral to a b4 after a year at your national firm as an fyi.
IB isn't difficult to get into at all. PE, PD, and VC are, and they prefer to hire out of bulge bracket IB. We lost a few to PE last year. Not all IB is the same either. Huge difference between being a lead book runner at an elite botique vs a dial for dollars analyst at a no name shop. The individuals qualifications carry a lot more weight than the name of an FDD shop because they would prefer higher out of top school or other IB of same of higher stature anyway. If you want to go into IB, go straight into IB.
