Boutique ECM NYC - Opinions

Hey everyone!

I live in LatAm and work in a FO position for one of the major banks in this region. My firm is very well respected in the community and probably the best one in this area. I have spoken with some contacts I have there and none of them have heard of our offices there / had a significant opinion about it.

What are you guys' opinions about going to NYC to work in IBD, but in a small satellite office instead of the firm's headquarters in another country? Does the NY brand and network make it worth it?

Thanks in advance WSO community!

“Proactively asked if I had any questions all the way throughout the session. Was open to me asking about any questions even if they weren't about finance, e.g. consulting and other jobs. Very knowledgeable and was realistic in the feedback he gave (for some I feel like they tell you what you want to hear rather than what is true)”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Julian was excellent. He went through every one of my 7 stories and gave me specific, actionable feedback instead of general advice. He pushed me to make my TMAY more personal by opening with my stepdad’s career in energy and being first-generation, which ties directly into why I want energy banking. He also flagged that my weakness story was too honest and helped me replace it with a stronger EōS example about building a system to manage clients. His notes on making my peer conflict story more visual and showing compromise were really useful. I left with a clear list of revisions and feel much more confident going into interviews.”
