Tier 3 Bank IB V.S. Tech Boutique IB

Hi! I am trying to decide between a Tier 3 Bank (Nomura/Mizuho/HSBC) and a Tech Boutique offer (GCA/FT Partners/USA). I know that the tech boutique has better deal flow but not sure I want to be pigeonholed so early in my career. Any advice on which offer to take or how to choose? Thank you in advance!

 

I don't understand rankings. Thats just how they were referred to on this website. 

 

Id also assume that the quality of exits from the tech boutiques would be higher than the other banks you mentioned plus tech is a really great industry to be in and those are solid names in the tech banking space 

 

Is FT Partners really that bad? Feel like with that kinda deal flow comes lots of hours
