Applying to Boutique Investment Banks

Hi Guys,

Here are my brief credentials: Coming from Arizona State University W.P.Carey School of Business. Strong academic / community / fraternal / sport involvement / self - taught IB modeling

10 years of international experience in hk. Trilingual (mandarin/ cantonese/english)

Internship experience (PWM Ops in GS/ S&T in HK)

I am looking in to joining Boutique investment banks in New York. Should I even submit an online application or simply focus efforts on networking ?

I would love to hear what you guys think? Any help is much appreciated.

 

Do both. If you want it, try both channels. Networking will be more important of the two, but to show that you're interested to go through the usual channels and get your name there, I think I would look good.
