Evaluating an offer from a Dyal/Ducera/DBO/M Klein type firm
I am curious how you would evaluate an offer from a bank similar to a Dyal/Ducera/DBO/M Klein. How would they compare to MM shops such as HL/Blair/Baird and mid/low-tier BBs? I know that A2A is popular at these smaller shops, but if you are interested in PE would you be better off continuing to recruit for an offer from a firm with a more recognizable brand that is more supportive of buy-side recruiting? The level of exposure at the analyst level seems great, but that also means being a sweatshop. Would appreciate any thoughts.

This is like asking other people what they want and why.You basically said it yourself, these smaller boutiques will get you paid more and you'll be around much much smarter people. It will be a smaller firm but the seniors will have much better and more interesting relationships.You will have little to no support on admin tasks I believe (company profiles, etc. cant send them to India).You will be better off but working harder. Do you want that or no? I would personally take these over those shops (i think they are clearly better) you mentioned but it's a different story when it comes to BB banks for example and the general branding they may offer as well as protected saturdays and India support. Additionally if you have sector interests these banks are extremely good. Their PE exits are better than those lmm/mm shops too because of the senior relationships and since they are generally more selective of their analysts anyway (top schools and campus involvement for finance related stuff)If you want a good, broad experience and good exits across the board I would go for the mid BB, especially if it’s a good group at Barclays or something that has good culture / hours, protected Saturdays that are followed etc (just to name an example off the top). I don’t think for the additional stress and amount you work the outcomes are worth it compared to a place like that, unless you REALLY value the finance experience and opportunity to really stand out. You will be forced to learn, produce, and take responsibility which is underrated.
Take Ducera bud
Lol bro Dyal Co all the way, you’re learning from one of the best deal makers, and Gordon Dyal interacts with juniors a lot. Spoke to some current employees and they are making a serious effort to improve wlb, not the mention culture and comp there is really good. 2 years a Dyal and the seniors will plug you into any buyside shop.
Hey - mind if I PM?
Feel free!
