Hello, I am a fresh graduate in finance. My goal is to gain a good finance exposure and to strengthen my skills in financial modeling.
Recently, I have received a full-time offer in a small boutique firm specializing in M&A in a specific industry, for mid market companies with a turnover between 5 Mln and 20 Mln. The company was just established this year, and they still don't have any clients yet. The partners and managers do not have experience in investment banking or big 4, but they have worked for more than 20 years in multinationals specialized in this industry. During the first month, they asked me to prepare a list of family offices and private equity firms.
- What do you think about this offer? Does this opportunity strengthen my profile if I want to apply later on to a master's program in a target university in France?
- Do you think with this experience I can get one day to the big 4?
- Do you think that this is a good opportunity to learn or this firm does not have any future and I should just look for another job?
Thank you very much for your help.
