this can't possibly be true (at least it can't be common). what "finance" companies are going to not know who those companies are? they are equally as respected as (and sometimes more than) bulge brackets.
Agree with kalice...It can't be the previous experience at an elite boutique that is keeping you from an interview...
I would rather take those elite boutiques over low tier BB's. and i know many who would do so as well
It hasn't happen to me, I just know someone that didn't meet the qualifications to a regional hedge fund b/c it requires BB experience.
I'm sure the big PE, VC, etc knows what elite boutiques are, but just wanted to get a feel if they are known in regional shops and fortune 500 companies.
elite boutiques beat even GS/MS for private equity exit opps...
jnr he said hedge funds. who gives a shit.
if you are good, does it even matter that much in the long run? I mean people will notice if you know your shit. but what do i know.
To the OP, they are definately known amongst regional shops and fortune 500 cos. Only someone who had been living in a cave wouldn't know those names
