Why are BB banks underpaying?

I've received offers from a couple Bulge Bracket banks for their TMT group and TC is much lower than other boutiques focusing solely in technology. 

BB offer about 30% less than boutiques in LA. Has anyone else experienced this too?


Should I accept BB for the name or take boutique offer?

 

BBs are public companies, they can't just keep comp artifically high just because. Boutiques want the best talent and have little brand name, so they have to pay quite a bit more 

If you are set on TMT IB forever the boutique may be a better choice, but the BB will open doors for you outside of just that small circle
