Can someone please explain the main differences between BB and EB?
Also, can you give me some examples of investment banks that fall into each category? And are there any notable differences in work style (hours, jobs) or culture between BB and EB firms?

Elite boutiques are smaller (but not small), specialized firms that focus on a narrower range of services and clients. These firms often have a more entrepreneurial and innovative culture, and they may offer more tailored and personalized services to their clients. Elite boutiques also tend to have a higher concentration of top talent, as they often attract professionals who are looking for more specialized and challenging work. Some examples of elite boutiques include Evercore, Moelis & Company, Centerview Partners, and Greenhill & Co.
Thanks Simio!
