Hi, I am currently a senior VP at a bank t2 (think Citi/BAML/Barclays) and I am interviewing for a top boutique. On one hand, the bank has a b/s which should be helpful to build a client base, esp. on the sponsor side. On the other hand, the boutique has the brand name and I quite like the idea of being a M&a advisor / trusted advisor only. Which one would you pick when you think about becoming D or MD? Thanks

You go wherever it's easiest to make MD and build a business for yourself. People on this forum are at the early stages of their career evaluate banks on things like prestige/brand name, comp, deal experience and exits; that's all fine but it's a lot less relevant at your level and I wouldn't focus as much on name brand. EBs make a lot of sense until about VP - much higher pay, arguably better execution experience (not always the case). But all that changes at Director when it starts to be your job to bring in business.
