IB Exit Opps & Careers - 'No Name' Boutique vs. EB vs. BB

Hi everyone

I was wondering if people could share experiences onto where you can go from full-time if in a 'no-name boutique' bank.

I'm aware of the BB being best for PE exits, and similar (HF/VC etc...) . But how would one go about this from a small boutique bank? I've not really seen too many people talk about this and would be interested in learning more about the exits from smaller boutique shops too.

I'd love to also know, should you pursue a no-name boutique - what are your future career prospects like within IB? Can you work your way up across the EB/BB chain - i.e. jump to EB, jump to BB - provided you put in good work & transition to the same team - or how would it work.

Thanks in advance.
