Balance sheets are not a prerequisite to becoming a BB (see Lehman, Bear Stearns). Therefore, I deem Evercore a future BB.

WAY too small of an overall presence and bank to be a BB. For reference, the smallest BB by market cap depending on the day is either DB or Barclays... DB is at $~35Bn with 90,130 employees and 7bn Euros in revenue a quarter. Barclay's market cap is $~45Bn with 92,900 employees and 6Bn pounds in revenue a quarter. Evercore is at a market cap of 10Bn with 2,195 employees and ~700MM in revenue.
Basically, EVR is significantly more efficient as an org and is valued higher, but also significantly smaller in terms of bank. For reference, the other 6 banks have significantly larger, revenue numbers per quarter: GS - 12.3Bn, MS - 15.3Bn, JPM - 39.54Bn, Citi - 17.8Bn. BOFA - 23.8Bn, UBS - 12.3Bn. What makes the BB's actually bulge brackets is that they are established IB's in a very large overall bank that does a bunch of other shit.

Some of the Associates at that firm are the most annoying people to walk the planet. Especially the Indians.
Unfortunately I moved to BofA, where DEI Becky's basically tell me what to do.
Insufferable!
