moving from a boutique to Wall Street

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?

Don't get ahead of yourself. You may find that you like the boutique atmosphere. Focus on doing your job well and nothing else for awhile and you'll position yourself for good opportunities down the road.
