Hello, prospective analyst here. If I am not able to work for a BB straight out of undergrad, is it worth my time to take a job at a smaller, boutique investment bank?
How different are the hours?
How different are the salaries?
Are the experiences basically the same?
Do boutiques carry any prestige with business schools?
The answers to any of these questions would help me a lot.
