“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
How do you compete for fees with banks that can offer financing? Seems like... It doesn't exactly take a rocket surgeon to execute a transaction. Why do people go to you when they know that JPM can give them just as good M&A advisory and provide stapled financing on top of it?
Two years in, what kind of work are you doing? Do they trust you with your own transactions?
What percent of your business is pure M&A advisory and what is "other?" Do they just execute you guys in lean times when deals aren't getting done or do you work other angles?
What percent of your business is sponsor driven? Once again, why would a sponsor hire you knowing that you can't provide financing and their analysis of the transaction is at least as good as yours?
Is your comp street or better? Are your hours worse than an analyst at a BB?
Why didn't you go BB? What are you doing now? Whats the culture like? How was your transaction experience? Get a deal and run with it? or churning models and updating PPs all day? Do you get as much tail as those BB guys?
lol. nice attention to detail fellas. This is consulting...not banking.
^LOL owned
I guess these guys aren't on the best way if they really would want to get into IB ;)
What's an elite boutique in consulting...? Like Parthenon? I've never heard anyone use that term for consulting.
parthenon, maybe LEK/OC&C?
What are some pros/cons of boutique versus MBB?
Ahh, it's in the Consulting Cabaret and not I-Banking Bullpen. Touché
In banking, people regularly choose elite boutiques over BB's. No one chooses them over MBB in consulting.
Ha - I guess I just assumed banking based on the fact that it referred to "boutiques" and didn't mention consulting anywhere.
It's hard for me to see what sub-forum or whatever I'm in because pursuant to Megan's law, I'm not allowed to own a computer, so I post on my phone. I'll guess I'll make new questions:
What the fuck is an elite consulting boutique?
What exactly is the purpose of management consultants?
Do you, and this is not a joke, personally feel that most people you work with in consulting are punk ass little bitches? What percentage of your firm are punk ass little bitches?
What do you mean "what's left of that group?" Do mass executions occur even in the politically correct feel-good family fun time land I imagine you guys populate? Why is there not much of your group left?
Funny.
