Are analysts from target schools that choose these global boutiques over BB/EB looked upon favorably? Are these jobs considered just as, if not more, prestigious because there are even fewer spots and the experience is much more unique or are they looked down upon because they are less traditional? If one was to join one of these firms would it be easy to lateral/move to PE if desired?

No one outside of the internet knows what those are
Meaning you don't think people in banking/PE have heard of these?
Robey Warshaw doesn’t hire out of UG.
Do you think an associate there looking to transfer would be sought after?
To go where? With which background?

Is it better then to wait out on cycle processes if you are at one of these brand name but smaller boutiques? Also would it be easier to reach out to associates and vps of these firms directly or to go through head hunters? im worried HH wont give me the time of day or present me to bigger funds compared to those at BB/EB even though my work experience ought to be arguably less BS than theirs
Why don't you just look up past analysts/exits on Linkedin- I'm sure they would all fit on one page too
i mean thats the problem - these places are so new that there isnt really a track record.
Literally never heard of them. Doesn't mean they suck, but the average IB guy doesn't know who they are, which would bode poorly for exit ops.
Editing for clarity and nuance: There are a lot of genuinely remarkable shops that do a number of interesting deals led by an allstar banker or two. And, if you are at one of those places exit ops can be solid/even top tier. However, those exit ops are likely limited by the quality of the deals on your resume and the backing/recomendation of your MD.
As such, its kind of feast or famine deal, you could come out with much better deals and a more holistic understanding of every process you ran than any BB analyst ever could. On the other hand, deal flow could be low, allstar banker leaves, your MD is a prick, etc. It's really just a volatility play.
have you heard of some of the US based places (ie m klein, Allen and co, or raine
kleine: only really about the guy. Allen and Co: I know a lot about/ have/had friends there Raine: Yes, but less than allen
