FT opportunities with boutiques specializing in HC

Title pretty much sums it up, rising senior, non-target with no SA. Really interested in HC IB, starting to reach out to the boutiques listed below. Was wondering if anyone can shed some light on other banks out there that may have flown over my radar. Thank you in advance.

Leerink Partners, Cain Brothers, Bourne Partners, Triple Tree, MTS Health Partners, Ziegler | HC Investment Banking, Provident Healthcare Partners.

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“he did really good. he was very thoughtful and we worked through a question then feedback format as it was my first mock. I really enjoyed talking to him as he was very knowledgable and, as it was my first mock we sort of were understanding how it really flows. But for some topics that i struggled on, he knew how to tailor it in a way that I could understand and ultimately made me more knowledgable overall. I guess sometimes he wasn't as engaged with my answers but still took notes which was nice of him”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“Pablo was amazing as a first mentor. Instead of simply talking about my linkedin, we had an insightful discussion about his career path, his transition between different roles like Investment banking, management consulting, private equity and even his work when he was a pharmaceuticals company. I don't think a linkedin review is as important as getting career guidance, so him taking the time out of his day and making sure he gave me his advice on how I can plan out my career and approach recruiting was very helpful ”
