List of BB and Boutique Investment Banks

I did a search already on the firm to see if there is a thread with a list of investment banks.

I am in NYC.

I was wondering if there is a list of the BB banks, and boutique banks. I think this will be helpful.

TIA

^ thanks thats exactly what I was looking for.

Is there anything here for P.E and V.C?

trying to prep myself to know which firms to apply to.

my summer risk management internship is coming to an end soon.

 

PE and VC is a lot harder and it's going to require you to do a good amount of DD. There are some lists that get sold that cost in the $100s (that I've seen), so if you want to spend that as opposed to investing time in it you can.

Thanks everyone, this is a phenomenal resource that is greatly appreciated. I was wondering if anyone has advice for someone applying to boutique IB's this fall. Do you recommend a mass application strategy with a generic cover letter or maybe targeting 50-100 and writing a more personal cover letter for each?

theparadoxFrom what I have heard, cold calling seems to work better than emailing so you might want to consider doing that as well.
I've landed three internships and two jobs via email/linkedin/facebook/WSO. It all works if you do it right.

Also look at middle market, regional, and 'non IB' firms: a lot of commercial banks and insurance companies have banking/trading/research/brokerage divisions that often started out as independant firms.

All-in pay at some middle market and boutiques could be 20% to 40% lower than at a top middle market or boutique and any BB firm. That's why you you will work 20% to 40% less.

Do you have Capital IQ or Bloomberg access at your school?
