List of Boutiques in NYC
Hi guys. I currently have three offers from boutique investment banks but unfortunately none of them are paid. I was wondering if any other boutiques are still recruiting that pay their interns. Obviously the three unpaid ones are a safety belt that I get to have in case things don't go my way. I...
Big 4 or Boutique Investment Bank
As I am graduating soon, I will like to ask if I will like to work in a bulge bracket but I think that I am not qualified yet. Hence, I am choosing either to enter big 4 (deal advisory/ consulting) or boutique investment bank. From these few options, which one is more reasonable and why? FYI, I am...

No-Name Quality Investment Banks
There is a lot on this website about the boutiques you should not work for, and we all know about the elite boutiques that provide useful experience (Lazard, Evercore, Greenhill) but are there any small, no-name investment banks that provide valuable internship experience? Specifically, did anyone...

Hi all, I am a recent graduate who is going to be pursuing an MSF starting in the late summer/early fall. My goal is to break in to investment banking, but I do not have previous IB internships.

Q&A - IB Coverage / M&A From Non-Target School to Tier 1 Bulge Bracket and M&A Boutique
Mod Note (Andy) - as the year comes to an end we're reposting the top Q&A from 2015, this one was originally posted 2/21/2015. I had a good, but not great GPA, and went to a similarly leveled college on the east coast. It's still a non-target university known more for sciences and engineering than...

Top Hedge Fund Ops/MO vs. 11-50 employee boutique IB!!!!

Reneging on an offer and signing for a rival? Right move?
Is this a douche move? Both shops are good. For comparison's sake (I'll change the jobs a bit so as not to be obvious in terms of my identity): One is Global Capital Markets at an established BB (initially my first choice) and the other is Advisory/ M&A at a boutiqe bank which has been doing very...

Truth about boutiques that don't underwrite, Advisory-only boutiques
Although I am no longer with the sell-side, I do have a fair amount of contact with them every now and then. This discussion of underwriting and risk-taking is an age-old one. The research team takes positions, put money where their mouth is because, hey why should we listen to you if you are not...

1st part of IB (Rosenbaum & Pearl) sufficient for first interview?
Would reading through just the comparable companies analysis, precedent transactions analysis and DCF analysis chapters be sufficient for a first ib interview ?

What should I do? Currently at a boutique...
Hi All, I have been working at a "meh" boutique in Texas for the past two years. I have only worked on one closed deal, and the dealflow sucks.

For PE-backed companies, who usually chooses the IB advisor?
Just curious. Does the PE firm, or CEO/C-levels of the company typically decide which IB will be used?

However, a few days after he accepted, the better boutique...

Can a firm collect fees "twice" for a current sellside engagement that matches their buyside engagement?
Just curious. I am working at an MM , and we currently have a sellside engagement. We are potentially getting a buyside engagement and the sellside opportunity would be a strong contender for the buyside engagement. Would the firm collect fees on both the sellside and buyside deal?
