Corporate Finance Analyst to Boutique bank.

Is it doable to break into a boutique bank or any bank really coming from a year of corporate finance as a Financial Analyst? The corporate finance role is in NYC and is in the Healthcare Industry. It is bigger than most fortune 500 companies but not in the fortune 500 as it is not publicly traded. Any advice would be appreciated.

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“It was great meeting John today and just chatting about the recruiting process in general. John seems very easygoing and is very willing to answer any questions about my resume and networking. He suggested that I send him my resume for review and he will provide feedback asynchronous and I appreciate that. I also like the fact that John had experience working in a bulge bracket, an elite boutique, and a private equity firm. These experiences really relate to what I am envisioning for myself now.”
