Start-up boutique investment bank or BB/ EB Summer?
Hi guys,
I recently received an offer from a "start-up" investment bank founded just a few years back. The senior people all come from top-tier banks like GS, MS, etc. I feel like the boutique will give me a lot more responsibility and interaction with senior members than working at a large firm. On the other hand, I got a regional offer to a top tier BB/ EB. PE is definitely on my mind though, but the boutique has landed some bn+ deals already despite just only recently starting out. What would you do in my case?
Comes down to how much you want PE. Granted LMM/MM PE is definitely possible from a boutique, but ultimately recruiters care a lot about brand
Assuming given the transaction sizes, you're referring to a M. Klein / Dyal Co. type of platform. I think I would take NYC M&A at these groups over regional BB depending on which BB and the product / industry you're covering. This is just my preference though - assuming they continue to land mega deals, I feel like you would get great tx/client exposure, more responsibility, etc.
The boutique might have good senior people, but it might have a poor deal flow since the seniors want to retire and work like 20-30 hours a week. I would personally choose the BB. Unfortunately, IBD is a lot about the brand
I think the firm is actively trying to expand - have been hiring post-mba associates from M7 and analysts are all from strong targets (Ivies)
