I recently lateraled to a top boutique from a lower bulge. I know I want to go to buy side, but am wondering if I should focus on '17 or '18 exit ops. Thoughts?

So like a Golden Gate / GTCR / NMC / MDP type place? Honestly most shops don't care when you recruit, they care about your ability to perform in interviews and the training you will have when you leave. That being said, waiting a year might be smart if you very recently lateraled. Gain experience and prevent suspicion about your desire to actually do PE vs just ladder climbing

Anyone lateraled at the 2-4 year mark from boutique (40ish lawyers, corporate lit work on same level as biglaw, making top NY pay) to v100? Can you say anything about the experience?
