Hankmardukas95, shame nobody has responded. Maybe one of these topics will help:
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Got a buddy there who got hired in NY - they’re a typical lower middle-market boutique in every group except for FIG. Solid deal flow, brand, and size, so good reps. Other groups less active and work on considerably less ‘quality’ transactions lol. Couple guys in Chicago (I think) have exited from that group to top MM and BB shops apparently. Not a FIG guy at all but would only do that group there.. maybe industrials? Based on a quick LinkedIn search, haven’t really seen any above average exits from non FIG bankers.
I've talked to some people in their Chicago office and can confirm that people have used them as a starting point to jump to PE and BB. Heavy on FIG in their Chicago office.
heavy fig focused bank. pay is below street but I’d assume a job in fig from DAD would be quality experience
Yes, forgot to add, but contact there says $70k and record bonus for analysts was ~50%, with average bonus being 30%? Sounds painfully low if street is ~150k all in for a first year. From my experience, street IB analyst 1 is $85 salary (not incl. sign on) & ~50-70% bonus?
Mostly a northwest/midwest presence. Original office was in Montana, I believe currently the largest presence in Idaho. Hence the lower pay.
This shop has come up quite a bit and is a legitimate full service platform with research, trading, the whole lot. they’ve become gradually grown their presence as a shop. FIG is definitely best for experience, but don’t count other groups out. Comp is low but firm is good. Soirce: I pitched against tech team
Legit middle market bank with solid deal size and volume, not great pay but still 100k+ for 1st year analyst. One tier below Baird/Stifel/Raymond James, but definitely not a small boutique. They’ve got offices all over the country along with research, trading, ecm, dcm, etc. Will grow
This is wildly exaggerated. There is a big gap between the top MMs (Baird), the second tier MMs (RJ/Stifel) and D.A.
I accidentally downvoted this.
Looking to revive this thread. Does anyone have any updates on these guys for 2022?
I had an analyst who was straight trash from DAD. With two years of experience, underpeformed the 1st years, net negative to the deal team. Apparently he Weber two years without closing a transaction and doing mostly pitch work
Can you say what group he was from?
