Can anyone provide some information on this topic. I appologize the post is so broad and open-ended.
I recently accepted an offer at a small boutique firm in Atlanta. I am extremely excited; however, its not the place I want to spend my entire career. I'm interested in banking long-term. Does any one have tips or advice on making the move from a small firm to wall street?
