A3 at global boutique (Moelis, Laz, Roth) considering moving to BB

I’m an A3 at a global boutique in Australia. Moelis/Roth dominate the boutique scene here with Macquarie, UBS, GS, Morgan Stanley, Macquarie dominating the BB scene.

I’ve had recruiters reach out to me for roles at the BB’s listed above and am considering it. I’ve Got no reason to leave my current team, good culture, similar pay to BB’s, strong deal flow, really genuinely nice MD’s.

The only reason to leave would literally be for prestige and the opportunity to work on more exotic deals. What do you guys think, what would you do ?

From my understanding typical comp for AN1 at BBs is ~160-175k AUD, so around 110k US.

I believe AN1 bonuses ranged between 75-125K AUD for last year, however I believe this may have been before the raise of base comp so not completely sure
