How to go from SA @ top boutique to BB FT?
Interning at an industry-focused boutique (one tier below EBs I think, i.e. one of FT Partners/Qatalyst/Leerink/Greenhill/Blair) next summer. How do I leverage that to recruit FT at a BB next fall? When should I start networking with alumni at BBs?
My reasons for wanting this: BB will give me better promotions/exit opps down the line, will be able to do bigger deals at BB, will be in more elite/prestigious seat, will have a stronger "brand" to start my career -- are these all valid reasons to invest extra time for re-recruiting on top of just trying to get the return offer at the current SA?
edit: I've found this helpful thread but still wonder if their advice to not network till 3 weeks into the internship is well-founded
depends do you mean a top industry specific boutique or are you refering to elite boutiques like Evercore or Centerview?
Sorry the way I wrote it is definitely too ambiguous, I'll update it, was trying to be discreet. An industry boutique that is one tier below those ex. FT Partners/Qatalyst/Leerink/Stephens.
Stephens shouldn't be on that list lol
Yah your fine, I get the anonymous stuff just boutiques range a lot. tbh I don't think its ever too early to recruit for BB especially considering how competitive it is, I would start the few calls with someone like introductory/advice and then after a 1 or 2 marinating sessions let them be aware that you are looking for FT BB
Incoming butthurt Q analysts
Do you really think anyone at Qatalyst is dense enough to not recognize this as a low quality troll

Congrats on FT Partners
Not at Q but if you’re there you’d be insane to leave
