Can’t go to A&M from a MM firm.
Thank you! If im interested and believe im qualified, how do you recommend me to start recruiting? Reach out to a local recruiter on linkedin or try a referral? Im at MM but never been to b4
Do b4 if you can. MM comp is lower and progression can be slower

Can also be quicker
I went IB from MM
What firm to what firm
Had a colleague go from MM to bulge bracket IB. After 2 years as senior. He did have his CPA and CFA.
People don’t realize that MM firms try and snipe good talent away early from Big 4 (ie offering internships 1 year earlier). From an FDD perspective, in MM you get more exposure to more facets of the deal at an earlier stage of your career. In my case I was running deals and management meetings as a senior associate. Given this was in 2020/2021 so it was a different time but still, I owe a lot of where I’m at now to that part of my career
