Lmao
how bad was MS this year?
.
Gugg paid more than Lazard and Moelis last year at least
This is just wrong.. and MOE / LAZ pay more than PWP, EVR is very volatile and has near bulge bracket bands now.
take it to the bottom of the excel spreadsheet in the last row and u can put bank of america there. again. for the 5th year. in. a. row.
You know what's funny, when I was an associate (less than 10 years ago), BAML was known for consistently paying higher than street....then COVID hit
Where’s BofA
56. BofA
row 86 right under smith meadows capital markets (LMM $5mm shop in Alabama) you can put BofA (Bulge bracket)
And then row 284 prob UBS
Row 16 UBS (guarantees)
congrats on foot lettuce
GS was crap as usual, what a joke
Del
any insight on top groups at other BB fast food restaurants (think McD RX, Popeyes O&G, Wendy's LevFin)
or ESB (elite slop bowl - think chipotle, sweetgreen, cava)
I’d literally take Baird over MS if I wanna stay in banking. MS pays like fucking garbage.
Q really paying that much? also in London?
