If I decide to lateral after 6 months to 1 year and is asked why I want to change jobs, ia it preferable to say: 1. I want to experience more complex deals/a wider range of deals etc. types of standard answers. OR 2. I feel I am underpaid for the work I do. Or both? Also, in general, when you lateral, how many references do they ask for, since you can't give them a reference from the firm you are still working at? Hi,
