No chance. To break into one of those firms, you need at least a 5.0 with work experience at places like Baupost or Greenlight. Also, you need to be from a top target - HBS or Stanford Graduate School of Business. If you don't have those credentials you have no shot to break in as an analyst.

I'm guessing based on the sarcastic responses and the monkey shit that it is generally pretty possible. I still think it is a valid question though, because my school only has a few members at each BB and from what I've seen on linkedin has 0 people at elite boutiques. Anyways, thanks for any sort of response haha

You seem to have good experience with your 3+ internships at Boutique. To be honest, no one can "chance" you because there are so many variables like your interview, the competition at your school, the amount of people applying etc. Why must it be GS/JPM/MS? If you are just chasing prestige, thats the wrong way to go.

Doesn't necessarily have to be for those groups but I am potentially trying to switch to PE/HF/VC at some point in the future, and from my understanding those firm's analyst have the most headhunters chasing after them and have the most opportunities. Not trying to be a prestige whore just experienced first hand the extra work you have to put in coming from non-target atmosphere. Which isn't to say that other BBs like Citi, Barclays etc wouldn't be a great experience just a little harder to after the fact.

I've seen that having boutique IB internships can actually hinder rather than help a candidate's case since it opens oneself up to more scrutiny. I would suggest knowing your technicals in and out and every single detail on every deal you have worked on during those internships.

Good suggestion that I have been hearing from some other places, was trying to break off into another area of finance this coming summer but wasn't able to come up with anything. I understand that I can be considered the boring IBD kid his whole life sort of candidate, but I will make sure I am up to snuff on all my technicals come recruiting time.

I realize this is a post on a forum, but your first sentence has like 3+ grammatical errors. Some are immediately turned off by that. Precision is important in banking. You also just come off like a tool, so be aware of your attitude. I'd advise against saying "elite boutiques" when talking to people in banking. Drop the "elite" or use something like "advisory firms."

Elite boutiques are what you call the firms I listed. They are much different that middle market boutiques in terms of recruitment.
