BDO Capital Advisors Update?
Thoughts on this firm? Looks like they get dealflow from their accounting practice, I'm surprised the team isn't bigger?

I interviewed and got an offer here a couple years ago. You're dead on with where deal flow comes from. Comp was below street and they tried to rationalize it by saying bonus is uncapped based on % of deal fees worked on. Which sounds great unless you get grinded for a year and all your deals fall apart.
The head of the group was a really cool and sharp guy he understands the work life balance aspect of banking as well. I believe I saw on Linkedin he moved on to start his own shop with a sn MD from BDO.
During my interview met with pretty much the whole team they were all pretty nice and knowledge. I ultimately turned down the role based on the comp and my current employer matching comp/retention bonus.
What did comp look like? Feel free to PM
It was 100k for Sn Analyst which was 3 YOE at that time
Very familiar with the team. Originally comp was pretty high (low base, 85k for A1) but as mentioned above, the bonus could get really high in good years (but screw you in the bad ones). Was good culture, and head of the practice was pretty experienced but left to start his own firm with another MD. Place went down the drain afterwards, with low comp and terrible culture. All but 1 junior left within a year after that. Place is in rebuild mode, with new MD's and juniors brought on. Have not heard good stories since, but not familiar with the new team.
