I'm a engineering grad from a top public university in Texas. Graduated last year and started as an Middle Market A&D Analyst at a boutique in Houston. Have a small team but great deal flow. Past 2 year comp per title was significantly higher than Wall Street. Our hours are pretty relaxed as well, avg. about 55-60 so overall a pretty good deal. However, I've always wanted to work at a larger bank mainly for more exposure and future opportunities in PE/Corp Dev. I've only been working at my current firm for about a year, is it still worth trying to get into a BB or a well known bank? I do have connections at banks in Houston but my background is not ideal per say. I'm also not a undergrad anymore so probably will have to start again as an analyst if I do land a position (doubt any bank will hire me as an M&A Associate with my experience). Any advice on how to navigate this would be great!

Hi ezbread, any of these discussions helpful:
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Yes, if you are shooting for Houston and you went to UT; you'll just have to network 2x harder than any college student and you should know the name of everyone at the bank by the time you're done
Probably easiest way would be put in at least 2 years there, then top 10 MBA, then BB.
