Boutique Firms - Looking to make a career switch

Hey guys,

I'm looking to make a career switch into S&T. I'm in sales right now but in a complete different aspect of the business and after reading up on S&T I feel that its 100% the move for me.

With that being said, I want to apply all over (bulge, MM, and boutiques), however, I feel that I'll have a much better chance at landing a job at a boutique (thoughts?). I've been trying to find a list of the boutique firms in the NYC area and can't seem to get too far which is why I'm asking you guys. I appreciate the help.

^ can you elaborate?

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
 
BernankeyEvercore, Jane Street, CTC, First New York, KBW...

Theres a bunch..

I know there is a list on this site somewhere.

Hmm didn't know Evercore had S&T... but the other ones are all prop trading, not S&T/market making.....
