<p>I’m glad I didn’t go to Chicago and meet anti-social douchebags like you.</p>
<p>Don’t tell me I lack a basic understanding of banking. Go to ibankingoasis.com (instead of the massive banking circle-jerk here) and ask one of the many real bankers there whether or not Lazard is a “boutique.” Under your ridiculous definition (which basically makes “boutique” and “crappy” synonymous, save for Allen & Co. and Centerview), Gleacher, PWP, MoCo, Evercore and Greenhill aren’t boutiques either.</p>
<p>I just love hearing some sophomore/junior saying something like: “They will ding you immediately.” Good stuff – do you have a job anywhere this summer?</p>
