New Trends

With bulge bracket analyst classes being in the hundreds and boutique classes being in the teens-thirties, there is no doubt that (elite) boutiques are being more selective on talent/fit. In fact, this year I saw a lot of the brightest kids in my class go to Greenhill, Evercore, Lazard etc... instead of places like Citi and DB. Not to mention, the lifestyle is likely to be better and pay tends to be higher at the smaller firms. Finally, the placement for even some of the smaller boutiques has been outrageous. Why would anyone ever go BB? Has there finally been a turning point where an analyst experience with Perella Weinberg is better than Goldman Sachs? Obviously, the choice between the two firms would be much harder than it was a few years ago.
