I am a finance senior at a well respected firm (but finance is not a headline group for the firm). I already made two lateral moves at around 4 and 6 years and am going on two years at current firm. How sensitive is the market now to this amount of prior movement if I were to consider a move?

You should be fine in finance. Certain firms might be snobby about the moves but most won’t care especially if you’ve been at your current firm for 2 years. Finance is busy so now would he a good time to look. Happy to give you an overview of your options if you want to DM me.

Too early to move in my opinion.

I agree — you should be fine. Some places might frown on the move, but not every employer will see it that way. At the very least, you can start exploring and see what kind of feedback you get.

I appreciate the feedback! This move would also be to a new market, which I hope helps the narrative. I may just wait until it’s after the 2 year mark but also see the market is kinda hot now and that can change — lots to think through.

If you are moving to a new market, you have even less to worry about.

Let me know if you need a referral to a band 1 practice
