Boston IB - Lateraling

What are some of the best IBs in Boston? I know PJT and Laz have offices but, as I'm looking to lateral, I am looking for a good list of fairly competitive banks that won't be a major downgrade from a low/mid-tier BB in terms of PE recruiting.

  • William Blair (Tech)
  • Raymond James (Tech, Consumer, Industrials)
  • Houlihan - not really in Boston but you could commute (Telecom based on the MD who sits here)
  • Piper Sandler (Tech)

In terms of placing, WB / RJ / PS will get you into any fund here in Boston (TA, Summit, Spectrum, Charlesbank, ABRY, etc.)

  • Satellite offices:
