Struck out on IBD Recruiting - What now?
Thanks for everyone's help.
I ended up taking the return offer for the summer from my boutique bank. Most likely will try recruiting for FT since my boutique have not offered any interns FT in the past.

How did you strike out if you have a boutique IB offer?
What does the start-up company do, is it in the healthcare space?
What caliber of boutique are we talking here? Have you tried to get a sense for the type of exit opps people there have after their analyst stint? Even if you're current bank isn't so great, I would definitely wait and try to land an FT banking gig after graduation, given that previous banking experience could serve you well in getting into some better places.
