I have three years of work experience in the finance division of a multinational corporate, and I’m considering transitioning into investment banking. I know most IB analysts are hired straight out of undergrad or through structured MBA programs, but how do banks view experienced professionals coming from industry? Are there specific criteria where expectations are higher for lateral hires? Would I be applying for an analyst role, or would I have a shot at associate-level positions? Any insights on how to position myself best for this transition?
