From Boutique internship to BB internship, worth it?

Hi, I'm currently doing an intership at a boutique with high probabilities to turn into a full time analyst position. And I'm in the recruitment process for an internship at a BB with no secured full time offer at the end of the internship. I would like to hear your opinions on what would you do if the BB makes an offer?

Seems like a relatively straightforward decision to me. If you are happy with working at the Boutique then take the FT offer. If I was in your shoes I personally would take the BB internship if they were to offer. After landing the internship it's really up to you to land the FT through hard work and performance, etc. Also, if you leave the boutique on good terms and manage the relationships with the bankers at the boutique well, you may be able to fall back into a FT offer there should you not convert at a BB. Just my two cents.  

 

Thank you very much for sharing your perspective. It defenetley helps me.

 

What type of boutique are we talking about? Is this a 5-man shop in Omaha or a nationally known firm with several offices and ex-BB MDs?
