Boutique to Middle Market/BB Move
When I graduate, I am going to work at a micro boutique (less than 10 employees) that does LMM generalized industry deals, primarily sell side m&a. I interned there last summer and the deal flow was pretty solid. I didn't do much valuation or modeling throughout my time there, but I was told that once I start full-time I would have more technical work as an analyst.
I come from a non-target school with a decent gpa (3.7+). The alumni network at my school is really weak and I was not able to make enough solid connections to get a BB gig. I'm wondering if after a few years at this smaller firm I can lateral to a BB/MM/EB. Also, how will this look for B school?
Thanks for any insight! Feel free to ask further questions to help clarify because I know this was a 30,000 foot view.
I wouldn't say 2 years, I'd say six months.
You would attempt a move after 6 months?
I know people that have left after 6 months for a variety of reasons (pay, city, management, etc.) and were able to lateral to better shops. The truth is that you really only need 6 months to get exposed to a variety of deals and FT IB work.
Good bit of information. Thank you!
Do these people come in as new grads or experienced hires?
New grads.
