Aleutian Capital

Hello all

Currently a graduating senior at a non-target with nothing lined up (few PWM offers across central suburban CT). Have been interviewing for Full-time roles in mostly PWM but have been interested in IB since I was a freshman. Had interviews here and there over the years, and did plenty of networking but couldn't get the job done at those points in time. Ended up working in risk management last summer at an asset manager (hated it) and was the lead of my universities student managed investment fund (loved that). Have applied to hundreds of jobs since start of last fall across IB, AM, PE and WM. Was fortunate to get a LevFin superday with a bank back in October but didn't get an offer. 

Aleucian Capital fortunately got back to me and wants to set up an interview about 2 weeks from now to accomodate my final exam schedule and finishing up classes. The role is an internship and is looking for graduating seniors (opportunity to convert to FT). I know they're an M&A heavy LMM boutique, but was wondering if anyone on here has spoken with them before or has any insight on them aside from whats posted in the WSO company database, Glassdoor, etc. 

This is important to me because I'm not in an amazing spot financially and idk if it makes sense to renege a PWM job to work an internship that might not even be paid (wasn't in job description, online reviews from early 2010's said it was unpaid).

Additionally, if anyone has made a transition from PWM to IB please comment or DM as I'd love to find out more

Thanks

Sounds a bit sketchy - looking for seniors to be interns vs. FT and likely unpaid. I would take your preferred PWM job and do the interview, but be very direct with questions around deal flow, compensation, etc. 

If they take offense or are dodgy on that, it gives you your answer. If you get the offer and like the people, then think about reneging. 

Website looks more like a broker and the fact that they've sold businesses to some value oriented buyers usually indicates broker vs. banker.
