I'm graduating in May and have 2 offers for FT. The only problem is that neither is with a BB, which is where I wanted to start. I had an internship with a BB last summer in S&T, but wanted to do banking and not trading.
Can you please advise as to whether I would be better off starting with a boutique(it is not well known) or at the Big 4 Valuation group? I think training and brand name would lead me towards the latter, but I would like to hear what you think. Thanks

Really depends on boutique
If the boutique is a top bank in its niche, go there. Otherwise, go big 4.
It is not a top boutique
There are about 40 people there, they specialize in M&A advisory and PE fundraising, but no industry niche. They are actually more a merchant bank than the average boutique. I guess my concern would be in 2 or 3 years down the road, when I'm trying to transition into a BB IBD program.
