Hello everyone,
I'm a long-time lurker of WSO, and am finally venturing out with my first post. I actually want to start off by thanking everyone for their contributions to the community. I can honestly say that I would never been able to land a junior FO finance internship with 0 past experience or knowledge, let alone lateral that up to a full-time IBD offer, without the information provided on this form.
In any case, I have a rather simple question regarding the possibility of moving from mid-level MM (think RBC, Macquarie, Piper Jaffrey, Nomura...) to a top MM PE firm. The reason that I ask is because I have read many posts here describe how incredibly difficult it is to move to top MM PE firms from anything other than a BB, or with more difficulty, a top MM (HLHZ, WB, Jefferies). However, is it commonplace for analysts at the mid-level MM's to land spots at the top
The reason that I ask is because I will be starting next year at one of the above firms, and believe (not 100% sure yet, since I haven't even started banking yet) that I want to end up in MM PE. Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond.
