Is it feasible to go from LMM IB to LMM / MM PE? Or would I need to lateral to a stronger bank first?
Currently an AN3 at a regional lower middle market boutique bank in the northeast. 3 YOE spread across audit, FDD, and LMM IB. I currently have a CPA, Series 79 and CFA lvl 1.

It's hard being a non target with no social skills 😭 I too feel like the only way to go IB from FDD is to go after the CFA.

I’d assume MBA or lateral is needed.
