MM in nyc vs. elite boutique in Australlia

I have the chance to potentially interview at a MM in nyc (think HW/BMO) or an elite boutique in Australlia.

This would be for junior SA. I go to a semitarget so the elite boutique doesn't normally post (family contact hooked it up). My goal is to end up at a BB in nyc.

If you had the choice of either one, assuming you got both, which would you take? The boutique has a lot less deal flow so I'd get more exposure with the MM, but its brand would probably take me farther for FT recruiting.

LMAO --> "a chance to potentially interview"

Hope bout you try getting the interview first then the offer, and then ask.

The opportunity to interview is for nyc. I've been given a verbal offer for Australlia.

 

I'd be interested in how dealflow is at Greenhill Sydney (obviousy what you're referring to).

I don't see where its being Greenhill was obvious. Care to elaborate?

Moelis and Lazard are the only other "elite boutiques" which have ops in AUS, and I can't see either of them just handing out an offer to a family friend of an exec. Greenhill has a slightly different culture (here at least) where I could see that happening.

Hmm, I suppose I don't disagree with your reasoning, I just wanted to make sure you weren't overlooking those other two. There's also Rothschild.
