I want to do LATAM IB, what should I know specifically, how do I request these specific groups and how do I network in order to get into this. Know there are some threads on this, but they are a bit older. I want to know as much as I can about LATAM IB, assume I know nothing at all. Greatly appreciated guys. Thank you in advance

Two others names worth mentioning for LatAm IB are Itau' and BR Partners. The former is a very active bank (stronger locally than abroad) that consistently tops volume and deal value rankings for LatAm. You'll get good exposure to deal flow and similar to BTG Pactual, they like to have their "fingers in many pies" one way or another. One thing I heard (anecdotal evidence though so take with a pinch of salt) is that they work you to the bone and often have 0 respect for WLB. The LatAm equivalent of Lazard Paris essentially. BR Partners also comes up very often in LatAm M&A rankings as being one of the top firms in the region. Much smaller and could be considered a "regional EB". They work with some high profile regional clients and are the go to advisor for Petrobras (good if you like Energy or just working with important regional players).
One general piece of advice is that IB in LatAm has much more of a political component than in the US or Europe. By political I literally mean politicians sticking their nose in deals and being a bit overly invovled in some cases. Either way, could be super fun and sure as shit an experience most people won't have. If you really want to do it, go for it.
