1-2 years at a no name boutique —> BB
Title says it all - how likely and achievable is such a route?
Essentially, if your prospects of getting a BB FT offer are low, can you rely on this route and catch up?
I’d say possible, but unlikely for top groups.Analysts at too groups rarely leave before two years, so you are relying on deal flow picking up extraordinarily to have a shot, when at that point you will have to compete guys from EBs, internal transfers and other BB analysts. look at the lateral market right now, it is full of opportunities drom banks like FT partners, GCA Advisors. You are betteroff doing a few years at your boutique and lateralling in as an associate hire a.
You would probably be better off at a boutique for 1-2 years then move into a LMM PE shop. A lot of great ones out there with ~500M-1B funds.
Hey sorry - just saw this - but thanks for responding, I didn't really think of that route.
Do you know how pay and work/life balance is at LMM PE firms?
You don't think that putting the work into 2 more years at an IB firm would allow for a better payoff in the long run at a bigger PE firm? Thanks again
I'm curious as to whether this route is possible. From looking on firms websites, I've never seen them come from "no-name" boutiques
