Summer Analyst Positions still Available

Dear All

I'm currently a Junior at a semi-target, and I'm in a bit of a predicament. I've had superdays with 3 firms till date, and unfortunately, due to a combination of maybe not being as well prepared as my competition or just being unlucky, I've failed to convert any of them into offers. My uncle started a so called "no name boutique" less than a year ago and I was offered a Intern position at their firm as the one and sole intern. While I realize this is a good opportunity, I would really prefer to work, and hopefully start, my career at an established shop. It seems most BB and MM banks have stopped their SA processes, so I just wanted to ask all you what I should be doing at this point. I want to keep on networking and hustling like a rabid orangutan till I get something, but it doesn't seem like they're are that many SA openings left anywhere. I'm hesitant to take up my uncle's offer since they have yet to do a single transaction, nor have they ever had an intern before. What do you all recommend?

 

Why don't you try for a more established boutique? If there are no SA positions left at BB and MM and you're looking to go there for FT, I suggest you get something on your resume that shows deal experience. The fact that your uncle's boutique hasn't done a single transaction is really not a good sign. If you find a larger boutique in NY and network during the summer with some people at BB (look them up on LinkedIn), you might have a shot of landing a good role for FT.
