Anyone had spammed smaller boutique banks for work experience/internships

Like the title says. I've tried this myself and had no replies. Probably went straight into the spam bin.

Anyone had any better luck?

Hey, yes. I did spam the likes of Houlihan Lokey, Greenhill, Moelis etc..let's see how this goes. best of luck ; ) When did you apply?

I think Greenhill and Moelis have actual careers sections on their website. By 'spamming' I meant emailing smaller companies that don't actual careers sections for graduates/undergraduates.

I've spammed the following: Numis, Winterflood, Peelhunt, Cenkos, CIBC, Bridgewell, Arbuthnot, Altium Capital, Brewin Dolphin, STJ Advisors LLP, Archon Capital, Ocean and Oil Holdings, Evo Securities, McQueen Ltd, Panmure

I've applied to the following small firms (using the application process on their website):
Greenhill, Moelis, Gleacher Shacklock, Hawkpoint, Aberdeen Asset Management, Impact Investment Partners, Execution Noble, Aurthur D Little, PWP, Glencore

Rejected by PWP, Hawkpoint (didn't realize they did summer internships). Got telephone interview with Gleacher. Not heard from anyone else. Brewin Dolphin said they don't do summer interns

After writing this all down it looks pretty dire!!!!!!!!!!

Looking at how well some of the firms did (ie Gleacher) during the last couple of years they look like better bets than the BBs.
