I accepted an offer with Citi for full-time IB starting in June 09' after a successful internship. Should I be concerned that my job won't be there come June? Should I be looking at prestigous boutiques? What would you guys do?

i also accepted an offer for SA with citi, I understand how you feel. I'd just say sit tight, try to look for other alternatives/backups, or really, just hope for the best, im leaning towards that citi will be there.
SA - you will be fine. Citi
SA - you will be fine. Citi is a great firm to get experience from.
I think the op is also asking - should he want to start FT with Citi. That is a different question - one I am not entirely qualified to answer...
Sounds like the OP accepted
Sounds like the OP accepted a FT offer after doing his/her SA there last year...
In that case, I would say start looking at other alternatives (and preferably see if you can get something that allows you to circumvent the entire banking experience). I think first years are generally safe in terms of layoffs (Goldman and JPM have moved first years to other divisions) but I wouldn't be very confident in a) the job security or b) the type of experience you will get at a company that everyone is just waiting for to get taken over by the federal govt.
your job should be fine. no
your job should be fine. no idea for how long, but you should be able to hang in there for a little while and maybe even your full 2 years.
