Q is the best bank for Tech sellside M&A, because they are unencumbered. I am ex-GS TMT, and think it's still a stronger overall experience compared to Q due to IPO and buy-side M&A work, but Q is in a world of it's own for sell-sides. Quattrone and Boutros are both legends in tech and widely known to be the best tech bankers in the world currently.
