Breaking into boutique IB in London
Hi everyone,
Based on my research mostly from the Mergers and Inquisitions website, I learned most IBD recruiting in the US is done via campus recruiting. Anyone without an offer or for a career changer pretty much the only options to break in is networking/cold calling. I heard in the US it's a waste of time to apply online via job postings (either in company website or job websites).
My question is: Is it true that in London it's customary to apply online? (i.e. it's not a waste of time)
My guess is if they like your qualifications they will let you start in the whole assessment center process?
Any tips for a career changer to break-in in London (most likely a boutique). Is there anyone out there who broke in from a non-target?
Thanks very much.

Hey guys. I'm currently considering transfer my focus to those non-elite boutique IB. Can anyone give me some advice on how to find those in London using Bloomberg terminal?
Thanks!
Google will help more than using Bloomberg tbh. What you can also do is look at some of the FTSE 350 / 250 / AIM companies and see who their advisors are or who has executed trades in their shares.
Maybe you can try using Capital IQ instead as well.
