List of Boutiques to Avoid
Hey guys, I know there is a list of Boutiques in NYC but I've also heard of many horror story internships where kids don't do anything but cold call and administrative work. I'd like to start a list of bad boutiques and reasons WHY the internship was bad.
Aleutian Capital - I hear you don't do any modeling work. I hear they only MARKET deals (no dates on deals on the website) but don't actually complete any deals.
Daroth capital advisors - Theres a WSO page on this that says all you will end up doing is cold calling.
Crucible Capital - need more info on this.
lets make a longer list so future monkeys not to get scammed.

You do realize most interns do absolutely no modelling, and it is even rarer for an intern to close a deal, right?

I understand the modeling part but I was told this group doesn't even work on deals. I was just quoting my friends advice telling me the place was a scam.
Ya I probably shouldn't have used the word complete as its pretty rare event.

then why do (according to WSO, it seems) most FT interviewers expect your internship to have involved robust modeling?

Interviewers expect you to know what's on your resume. If you put that you were lead analyst on a ten billion dollar buyout, you can expect to be asked questions on that. There is a difference between knowing basic accounting and valuation methods, and knowing how to walk an interviewer through an LBO model. You are expected to know the former. You're only expected to know the latter if there is a reason you should.
