Shopping summer offer

My summer at a BB is going well, and I am pretty confident that I will get a full time offer -- I know, don't jinx it! I like the banking experience but not my group, and really not the bank I'm at. If I do get an offer, how do I shop it in August or early September? Is it only other BBs who would talk to me? How about boutiques like Evercore or Moelis?

First of all, your ONLY focus right now should be getting your offer. I have seen SAs who thought they were money not get the offer because they did one stupid thing. So head down for now, bud.

That said (had to be said), if you do end up with an offer, you should plan to spring into action right away! Call up anyone and everyone YOU want to talk to. If you have a legit offer in a real banking group from a BB, every other BB will talk to you, and so will the elite boutiques who do these, which I'm pretty sure includes Evercore, Greenhill, Moelis and I think Centerview started last year. Maybe Perella Weinberg too. Not sure about Lazard.

Be prepared though, most places will give you 24-48 hours to accept -- wasn't the case a few years back when I went through but it is now. Good luck

I'm sorry, that was rather rude, I needed one more BP to message somebody. I guess the appropriate comment would be "best of luck". So, best of luck!
