Why would a person select a Boutique over a Bulge Bracket?

You must be way out of your mind to even thinking about selecting a EB offer over a well known investment bank. BBs can offer great exit opportunities, reliable deal flow, and much more. Taking a EB over a BB is like taking a medicine for cancer instead of taking the cure.

By the tell of the monkey shit I got, seems like everyone is a die hard boutique fan that needs their prefitge exit opps.
