Citi lateral move

Question

Hi all,

I’m considering a lateral move to Citi’s capital markets team after a year in corporate banking at a regional firm. I’m curious if making this jump now would open better long-term doors or if I’d be better off getting another year under my belt first. Does Citi typically support internal mobility if I want to pivot again later?

Answer 1

If you have the chance to move to Citi’s capital markets team now, it’s worth serious consideration. The brand, deal flow, and network can open more long-term doors than staying put. A year in corporate banking gives you a base, but getting into a top-tier platform earlier usually pays off.

Citi does have a reputation for solid internal mobility, especially if you build strong relationships and perform well. Just be clear on why you’re making the move and what you hope to gain. It’ll help position you for future pivots.
