I'm leaving Deloitte (consultant - capital markets) for an analyst role in M&A (in house) in a relatively small company. How long should I stay and how hard is it gonna be if I want to join an IB or rejoin a consultancy ?

It’s more dependent on the number/types of deals you do than the amount of time. If you work on, say, 3 relatively different transactions in a year that should be enough to exit to a small boutique IB shop. If you only do one or two straightforward deals of the same size in your first year, you’ll most likely need more time. How you sell your experience in interviews/on your resume also matters.

If you get 5+ deal reps that should be plenty to start looking at IB roles after a year

Any advice for joining entry level M&A roles with 1YOE in consulting? The experience isn’t related to the M&A space, but I’d really like to break in and start somewhere!

Are you comfortable with 3 statement financial models? If not, completing a course would show initiative and leave you better prepared than others without prior experience. I’ve heard good things about the WSO modeling course.
