Hi all,
I recently started my new role as an equity research analyst at a BB; however, I may have to move to UK due to family reasons. I am looking to move prob in 1 year. I have some questions abt the process:
Part 1: from US to UK
1.1. When should I start looking for a job? -- I feel like overseas recruiting may take several months, but how early I should get started?
1.2. I have never lived in the UK before. Is there anything in particular (industry, work cultures, etc) I need to pay attention to?
2.2. Should I contact headhunters in the UK? If so, when? How should I prepare?
Part 2: from ER to IBD
2.1. I am looking to transfer to IBD or an investing role simply bc there are more openings. I recruited for both roles in college so I know what I will be doing. I am comfortable with fundamental technicals, but I don't have any deal experience. Is it viable to transfer from ER to IBD? How should I prepare for it?
2.3. I also consider internal transfer but I have no idea how it works. There won't be many openings in ER so I am pretty sure I will target IBD as well. If there is anyone who's been through the process please feel free to drop any advice.
My background: target school in the US, decent GPA, summered at the same firm and returned.
This year its not going to be easy, as there are very few openings due to high conversion rate + headcount reduction.
This means that internal move would be your safest bet I am afraid.
ikr I’m thinking abt the same thing as well. Plus I only have <1 year experience I’m not very optimistic.
