Boutique vs. Bulge

by reverserewind (Monkey, 54 Banana Points Points) on 9/12/08 at 6:28pm

I know this question has been partially answered on before, but I Have a different spin on the question. Top boutqiues (Evercore, Greenhill) vs top bulge brackets (GS, MS but not on top teams).... which is the smarter choice in the current markets?

depends on where you think

depends on where you think you'll get the best experience and learn the most. honestly, if you're choosing between evercore, greenhill, (i'll throw in lazard) and GS and MS, you're going to get a great experience and have great exit opps.

just look at the people and see who you'll enjoy working with the most.

in the current market conditions, i think the elite boutiques are the safest (and therefore) the best choice

if you need to expand on this, send me a pm

I would agree with

I would agree with PatrickBateman. Smaller firms have largely avoided the crisis. Although business has slowed, the impact is nowhere near what we've seen with the BBs.

I would go to a top boutique

I would go to a top boutique anytime before a BB at this point...
