Wanting to begin attempting the move from FDD into IB. Having no prior IB experience, would trying to come in as an analyst (experienced or first year?) or an associate be more feasible?
Background: 2.5 yrs in audit; 1 yr in FDD

Given your YOE I’d be very surprised if someone took you on as an Associate. Likely a 2nd year analyst

You should have your “why” down and you also should know how to model (dcf, etc.)

Plenty of openings out there. No one wants to do banking any more (80-90hrs and constantly being stressed out with no weekend whatsoever). Give it a hard try, know your technicals and network

This is true. The amounts of hours simply don’t worth it to some people…

Associate is highly unlikely since you would be pitted against MBA grads with more YOE. Analyst/Experienced Analyst would be the most likely route

When do partners decide when an associate is good enough to make partner? I’m a senior and it is extremely clear to me when an associate has it or doesn’t, and moreover it doesn’t take eight years to figure it out; it takes just one or two matters for me to know if they’re adding value or are ultimately just a commodity. It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.
