Would a social capital trader short BB IBD, go long elite boutique?

Curious: Given the 70% bonus cuts across the board and the shrinking market, are bulge brackets worth it? Do bulge bracket bankers still hold the "damn it feels good to be a banker" vibe? Can they even place well into traditional exit opps in two years? Are elite boutique bankers gonna crush, or are Eboutiques gonna drop their pay to match street?
