Hello everyone, Currently working in IB for a boutique co., (not elite). Looking to make a move to NYC to either BB or EB, wanted to get perspective for you guys on the possibility of such. Have some of you guys done this? What advice you may have for me? Anyone can be of help? I really want to make a move, I just donāt know where to start, as I donāt know anyone in the city. #sellside #ib #nyc
May get better answers on Fishbowl, more the audience you want
Wallstreet Oasis is where u should ask this
Definitely possible. Shops are all adding headcount en masse. Now is the time to make the move.
Check out Wall Street Oasis instead
im in banking now (was at morgan stanley i never bothered to update my company) but at a decent UMM boutique in a good team (think HL, WB, Piper Sandler), and I rerecruited about two months ago so I can definitely shed some experience on this. First of all the market is HOT right now and in my interviews I met quite a few people from no name boutiques at places like GS, CS, Lazard, and Evercore. Any experience is a plus and while you should network if you can, I personally didnāt and just applied with resume and got interviews at all the places listed above. I think you should just shoot your shot and google firms and apply - did 20 applications in one day in like 8 hours, Iām sure youāll get some interviews as long as you have halfway decent credentials
Thanks, are you from target or non-target, do you feel like experience played more role in their decision to call you or the school?
Market definitely hot right now. How boutique of a boutique are you currently at?
Is ib interesting? I am in engineering side so dont know
As with anything, itās interesting if you find it interestingā¦ I enjoy it. Used to be a data processing dev and switched. Others? Not so much.
Cool are you englishman?
