Does it worth to quit large sell-side company for boutique buy-side firm?
I'm currently working in IT department in a large investment bank. However, I know I want to switch to buy-side as it is more aligned with what I eventually what to do.

Hi WSO Community! Wanted to ask for your insights and feedback into the potential exit opportunities (London especially) that you get from (JPM, MS, GS) in Paris vs an elite boutique in London (PWP, Centerview).

Why do EBs have worse exit opps than BBs in EMEA/UK?
Hey guys, I was fortunate enough to have received offers from an EB and a BB. To be honest, I really liked the EB way more. The people were more down to earth and friendlier and the pay is better. Yet, many friends advise me to accept the BB offer. They insist that BBs exit opps are considerably...
EBs underperforming in M&A relative to lower tier BBs
Checked league tables & was surprised to see that EBs are not in the mix at the top of M&A deal volume/activity. Two questions: 1) Where does all the hate towards BBs outside of GS, MS, JPM stem from? // 2) What exactly about EBs makes them so "elite" as their title suggests if they can't outperform...
BB office at a small country? Any prestigious at all?
Hey guys, I landed two M&A FT offers in the country I live (LatAm). One is at the largest local M&A boutique (lots of lower middle market deals) and the other is at a BB office (way less dealflow, but some deals tend to reach the billions) I believe there are more opportunities to learn at the...

I don't want BB/EB
Like the title says, I don't want to go to a bulge bracket or an elite boutique, and I was wondering if anyone has any insight on going directly to a small boutique out of undergrad. It would be a stretch for me to go BB / EB anyway, as I am non-diversity, non-target with no on-campus recruiting...
CITIC Securities vs. Lazard Singapore?
Rising Sophomore at a top 5 target. Managed to land summer through some connections at Lazard Singapore and CITIC Securities in Beijing, both IBD . Laz is obviously better known, but I've heard that they have low deal flow. I'm fluent in Chinese so CITIC won't be a problem, but not sure how they...
