I'm meeting with an analyst at Monty later this week, I'll keep you informed. Just out of curiosity, are you looking at Monty in San Fran, Santa Monica, or NYC?
if you ask the analyst about the firms compensation, prestige, and exit ops Im sure the meeting will go really well.
Hahaha, this one actually made me chuckle.
Don't know anything about the analyst level, but friends of mine in the tech banking world at the VP/MD level seem to have a lot of respect for them. I've heard they work people pretty hard.
You might be thinking of Montgomery Securities - they were big in tech banking back in the day. Not really sure about Montgomery & Co. though ...
I'm looking into Santa Monica.
yeah, please keep me posted!
Awesome, I'm looking at the same bank. There are a bunch of solid Boutique Banks in the Santa Monica/West LA area.

Montgomery & Co Sells SF Office and Closes LA (Originally Posted: 04/23/2013)
I saw a Bloomberg article that stated Montgomery sold their SF office to Signal Hill (another boutqiue/mm advisory firm focusing on tech and digital media/internet) and that their santa monica office will be closed with "the firm offering severance packages to its remaining bankers in Santa Monica"...scary because i know a few ppl in that office
Regardless, how does it make sense in the sense that they ONLY want the SF office and just want to close the LA office? The LA office was the HQ and the founder/his brother both were in the LA office...
Anyways- always sad to see offices close and crazy to see a firm like Monty be gone :(

LOL
Not surprised either. These guys are known across the street as a below-par bank.

Montgomery & Co.
What are thoughts on this bank? prestige? comp? exit-opps?
Their name reminds me of the fat aussie chipmunk from Rescue Rangers. His name was Monty. That cartoon was cool.
anything?
I had a friend who used this bank to get some financing. Everything worked out well and the reputation of Montgomery seems pretty good. Plus, Santa Monica is a nice place to work.
I had a final round out there this fall, and recieved an offer. The location is incredible, and the people seemed very capable and well trained. I'm also curious about year end comp, but its such a small firm I'm guessing its a longshot anyone from there will read this
They don't do too many deals from what I understand (esp on the MnA side). The location is amazing and you have a view of the Pacific from your window.
If you work there, you can lateral to a BB if you're decent.
i could go to monty in santa monica, or CIBC in new york. What do you think would be a better place to get started?
Bump. Any word on comp for the junior ranks from these guys? It seems like they had a great 2007 judging by all the deals on their website. Can anyone confirm?
For some reason I originally had a better impression of this firm. Judging by the website, it looks like the average transaction they do is about $80mm (in reality, this average is probably much lower, since the transactions they list on the website are most likely their biggest ones). I'm, also weary of banks that choose co-managed roles for "representative" tombstones. That doesn't say a lot to me, to be honest.
What's dealflow like? I'm interviewing for an SA spot with them, and was wondering how helpful an internship there might be for setting up my resume for junior year (I'm a soph). And yes, obviously it's better than nothing, but will I get some real experience or have to do pitches that go nowhere all the time?
Can anyone speak to comp or hours?
I'd like to know also more about Montgomery & Co. The people I met there during a recent interview seemed pretty bright and good to work with. I got an offer to do a spring internship there with the possibility of a summer internship. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Anybody have any first hand knowledge?
BUMP!
BUMP thoughts?
Good firm. Not too sure about exit opps. People are nice and there's about 10 bankers in the LA (SM) office. Strictly do digital/social media. Not sure about pay but I don't think bonus' are comp to BB. Not too sure about the office, they were re-modeling when I was interviewing. Shitty carpets and it seemed dead around, but it was a Friday. All in all it would be a good opportunity and I'm sure you'd be able to get into HLHZ or some other good MM/BB in LA after.
Heard of them, decent tech practice according to a friend who summered there.
BUMP
anyone has any other info on analyst comp? is the base standard 70 or lower? and how low are the year end bonuses?
how does this place compare to a midwest bank like RW Baird, if you want to spend your life in socal? and how would MM PE firms in california look at a strong analyst from Montgomery?
dont know about comp
If you want to spend your life in socal and cannot get an offer from the top shops, then Montg. is a good choice. They have a very good lifestyle balance. However, be aware that you will not get too many looks from MM PEs in socal because those spots are usually taken by BBs, HLHZ, Moelis and imperial guys.
thanks man, that's helpful
last bump, just in case
not much prestige. exit opps to pe is non-existent. west coast pe shops will look elsewhere.
Just to give it another shot, does anyone know about first year comp?
65 base, not sure about bonus.
If you had to guess, what do you think the bonuses are on average for boutiques like Monty? ~50% base or less?
