I was wondering if anyone here works in small boutique banking and what salaries are to be expected? Roughly $900m - $1b in deal flow per year.
What sort of base and bonus? What are your hours like? I know this will be different everywhere, but what is the culture like?

Culture is going to vary a ton depending on location, industry focus, how much pitching is done, MD's backgrounds, etc. That said, it seems to be pretty common to find more chill/collegial firms out there in this size range.
Man $900-1B is pretty big for a boutique. Ten $100m deals..?
(OP Here) The one I interned for usually has one massive deal per year and 4-5 smaller ones. That's why I kind of consider this small. Compared to BB and EB obv
Yeah, This is pretty common. MD's will hunt their whale for the year and then a bunch of smaller deals get referred so they take them.
