I’m currently working as an analyst at a private equity firm and would like to switch over to IB. Is there anyone that can give me some help or provide color on which banks might be looking for people? Thanks

Why don’t you use your experience and move to a different PE firm?

I known quite a lot of people surprisingly that went from IB to PE to IB again. They all were very consistent in their reasoning: PE isn’t what it seems like and grass isn’t greener on the other side. For the most part a lot of them like IB more, with the exception of one dude just hoping out of IB super quick to Corp dev. So your decision isn’t out of the world.

That being said, it’s a hard market rn for all white collar work, but given your experience in PE I think it’ll set you apart significantly. But you should still network and break your way into MM IB if you can

I just graduated from a nontarget in Dec 2020 & am currently interning at PwC before I go back to do my Masters. My initial plan was to accept my full time offer and slowly work my way into IB.

I see postings right now for FT IB analyst programs. Should I even try applying online?

Hi - I’ve moved to Toronto (from Asia) with 5 YOE in Corporate banking + 2 YOE IB/capital markets (7 YOE in TOTAL) working roles in Front Office and financial analysis.

Could someone help by mentioning the salary ranges I can expect?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
