Yes consulting firms would also prefer boutique banking experience. Only do TAS if you’re certain you want to do accounting / TAS.

Thanks so much for your response! I’m just worried that I might not like if I don’t like banking after the summer, I won’t be able to get consulting interviews with a no-name boutique on my resume. This place isn’t Perella/Gleacher level and also my GPA is pretty low – so my concern is just getting pass the interview screen.

When you say “more easily move from that into other fields” you mean, consulting firms would prefer to see boutique investment banking summer analyst over TAS group summer analyst?

Thanks!
