Dug up income statement for boutique I have a chance to work for FT...Am I jumping on a burning ship?

I am a senior from a non-target and I have an opportunity to join a boutique for after graduation. For the most part the boutique is a no name but it will give me the opportunity to get licensed.

However, after doing some research, I came across their IS through the SEC. They suffered a 500k + loss last year and had extremely sub par revenues (for the past year or so).

Am I hurting myself by jumping on this ship right now. Does it really matter how the firm does as long as I learn my skills and lateral hopefully within 6 months to a year? The boutique used to be pretty active and the CEO even told me they are in a slump right now.

I am interviewing for other positions but they are for mostly summer analyst gigs.

What do you guys think?
