IB boutique.
Those 'name' banks are not name banks. They're not even 3rd tier.
Thanks, but does experience (intern/analyst) at such IB Boutiques as those mentioned carry weight in terms of pe/hf recruiting?
No, at least not with the larger funds. But the transaction experience will be more relevant, even if you don't have the BB/EB name on your resume.
Okay, thanks
