PWP is famous for trying to keep junior bankers and not giving them any firm support to move to the buyside... OP, I reccomend doing your own research on this fact.

PWP talks about buyside exit opps in campus info sessions in last 2 years- that is an old perception about lack of buyside exit opps since want career bankers. The information your trying to contradict is actually right. Small firms swiftly change. When a boutique is small they need trained juniors. Once they can have dedicated analyst classes they become more open to buyside recruiting and in fact support it in order to attract better analyst classes. This is precisely what happened to PWP as many other boutiques
