Going to be interning at an industry specific boutique my junior summer. At some point I would like to end up at a larger bank and I would imagine BB is not a possibility.
Hoping to find out if this is a reasonable path. Would it be best to try and get an offer back then full time recruit, or to try to lateral after a year or so?
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone thats familiar with this kind of path.
Thanks
