Boston Investment Banking Compensation

Was looking at the investment banking space in Boston and saw there are some boutiques with a presence. Lazard tech M&A, William Blair tech M&A, as well as some smaller middle market banks in the area.

I was wondering if anyone had any information on compensation & culture for investment banks in Boston.

Are first year salaries & bonuses comparable to NY? What is the culture like at firms in Boston?

Thanks
