How hard is it to go from a boutique to bulge investment banks?
I know the other way is pretty common with a good bump in salary and bonus with a higher title as well but wondering if it is literally impossible to do.
It is not impossible but will require extensive networking, a good deal track record and exceptionally strong skills, flexibility with respect to team and location, and of course a lot of luck. The luck comes into play when thinking about who will have an open slot. Probably easiest to make the move as a second year Analyst / first year Associate, and of course if you did business school it’s a piece of cake.
