Is Middle Market Worth It?
Disregard the title.
I work middle market industrials M&A, in the end I feel like I keep hearing about bulge bracket analysts not actually learning anything because they delegate the model, the materials, and try to outsource the entire process for 2 years and then you hire a UBS guy after who goes goo goo ga ga. I feel like in middle market I still end up working a lot, consistently pulling less than bulge brackets but definitely averaging 80-90 a week. My comp is a 20% haircut to street, just talking about base, I don't even want to talk about how much lower bonus is and I'm now not sure it's worth it anymore. I wanted to not get killed staying up until 2 or 3 every morning, get some of my weekend, and there are defintely middle market shops that pay well and don't have a bad culture but I'm not sure if it makes sense to lateral or just ask for a raise which I doubt I'm going to get.
Idk, curious to hear why people stay in middle market or if I'm just in the wrong part of middle market.
Sounds like Truist with low base comp and shit bonuses
It sounds like you are in LMM respectfully, if your base is that low.
Yeah lowkey I am, we get some definitely middle market deals and have very solid deal flow but some mandates we take are on the smaller side
