Boutique to Larger Institution - Thoughts & Advice Please!
Fellow Monkeys,
I’m currently an associate at a boutique investment bank and I’m looking to make a move to a larger institution.
I’m in a middle-front office role raising capital for funds and companies in the transportation and real estate space. I wear a few different hats and do everything from valuation modeling to documentation to structuring to due diligence.
I truly like what I do but it’s an eat what you kill shop and deals can take many months to close. The fees on private placements amount to a good chunk of change when something does materialize, however, I’d like to find something with more stability.
I’d like to leverage my experience in transportation and real estate finance but given the current state of i-banking and the industry as a whole, I’m exploring many different avenues.
Any thoughts, advice or leads would be very helpful and much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
