Are there any good SM seats left?

See above. Or are the attractive seats MMs these days? The large growth funds are down 30-50% from peak and there are <50 firms across places like TCI and the like that are truly long-term (based on LPs), have differentiated results over a decade +, compensate appropriately, weren’t just levered beta/growth over a decade, and are actually hiring analysts? 

Any names/places to focus on. Viking (understand not a true SM with multiple PMs), TCI, etc.?
