BNP vs. Top boutique

anyone know how BNP compares to other BB's. Obviously not like a Goldman or JPM but in terms of reputation, deal flow, comp. I have a super day coming up but also a lot of interest from a top boutique. If BNP throws an offer out before the smaller firm should I take it for the name? Is the name even that good?

What do you consider a top boutique?

"I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
 

What calibre boutique? BNP does not really have much of an M&A U.S. presence at this point and has very limited exit opps in the States. It is not even close to being considered a BB in the States. Even a decent boutique with legitimate deal flow would be a better placement, in terms of easier transition to BB and MM PE and a better experience.
