Thinking of making the jump from FDD to IB. Has anyone made a similar move? How did you go about it and was the comp increase in IB worth it

I don’t think there’s much comp uplift unless you go BB, which is unlikely, best jump I ever saw was Jeffries, downgraded from M to analyst tho so likely a comp cut

M level is a tough one -> SM might just shoot for partner, but M is a bit too old to be analyst and recruiting for associate is very difficult without prior IB experience, but doable, a manager in our office recently left for an associate role at MM, but he has like 6 years of experience. And most non MBA associates are gonna be way younger
