Informal Boutique Interviews (Not Hiring)
Hey guys,
I got in contact with two (not many to being with) very small boutiques from my hometown. Ideally I was hoping to get some type of internship to get even the slightest bit of deal experience, however, both already mentioned they are not looking to add to their staff, but were willing to meet with me. About me: -Non-target -Graduated May 2010 -No IB experience, but 3 financial services internships -Currently interning at a Commercial Bank, as a credit analyst
So I ask: -What kind of questions to ask, especially if deal flow is light -How can I ask to get an internship even if it's only for 1 deal or 1 month, after they already expressed they weren't looking to hire interns -Anything else in general, especially from people that have dealt with small town boutiques
Thanks guys!!!
your so naive. are you looking for a paid internship? you should say I REALLY want to work here and would be willing to intern for free because of how passionate/dedicated I am. It's extremely easy to get an internship at a no name boutique.
Questions: What deals are you working on? Average size/typical type/are you generalists/etc There's so many questions you can ask them. How did you start the firm? How has your exp been here compared with a BB? etc
Definitely agree you should try and get an unpaid internship. That way you can work your ass off and eventually get a full time offer there, put in on you resume as pretty good exp for another i-bank, or work you ass off and maybe they have some contacts at other banks that are actually hiring.
