Advantages and disadvantages of private boutiques vs. large bulge brackets?
Hey guys. I was just wondering what are some of the advantages/disadvantages of mid-sized private boutiques such as Needham vs. the large public bulge brackets? Comparatively, how are the hours, the pay, experience, and exit opps? Thanks!
New Trends
With bulge bracket analyst classes being in the hundreds and boutique classes being in the teens-thirties, there is no doubt that (elite) boutiques are being more selective on talent/fit. In fact, this year I saw a lot of the brightest kids in my class go to Greenhill , Evercore , Lazard etc......

Hi, I have one offer and two superdays with the above mentioned firms. Could people tell me what they think of these options? I prefer being in NY , but Moelis's headquarter is in LA and I think it's a great place to be. They expose analysts to tech, media, gaming and even some PE deals and they...

The end of BB?
Has the day of the BB finally come and gone? For decades places like GS , JPM , Bear Stearns and Lehmans represented the pinnacle of banking.

I went through first round interviews for an associate position at a boutique bank in NYC last Thursday, right before the July 4th weekend, and haven't heard back.

Non-BB IB opportunities
Hey guys, I searched the forum and couldn't really find an answer on this, so I figured I'd make a new topic. The conventional wisdom is that if you don't get a FT offer from a BB in October/November, you're not going to be an investment banker so go do something else. I find it a bit hard to...
