Was fortunate to break into MM IB from FDD (~1.5 yeo).

I'm being brought on as an AN2 instead of AN1.

The bank doesn't have a 3 year program, it's 2 years for analysts.

Is the assumption that if I kill it over the next year I would get the nod for A2A in Jan25/Feb25?

The group is relatively busy and has a strong backlog and promising pipeline.

I would have ~2.5 yeo in Jan25, similar to their normal A2A track.

That would be ideal! I've just heard plenty of stories of lateral hires without previous IB experience being held at 2 years no matter what.

I'm definitely going to gun for it but also want to have realistic expectations
