What are some good boutique banks in the CHI area? I go to a target school for Chicago offices and would really appreciate any guidance. Currently interning on the buy-side in CA but want to get an internship at a BB,EB, etc.. this coming summer. I've already started networking and applying to the major banks in the area, but thought there might be some I don't know about.
