Career Resources
Unless the BB is DB/UBS, I can't imagine why you would choose either of those over the bank you're currently at
No dog in this fight but independent model, sector focus, deal exposure, pay? These can all be appealing factors over a mid BB, no?
TC at Ardea is significantly higher than any BB and is in-line with Qatalyst.
Range?
Any idea on how they run recruitment and are they really in line w Qatalyst? Knew they paid extremely well but Q is insane
As in how high for associates?
I can speak for Broadhaven. They do run a FT process and I've seen SAs at BBs/EBs go there for FT. Great deal flow, virtually no pitching. This is because the senior partners have strong connections (most of them came from high up at Goldman FIG). You'll get exposure to industry-changing deals in the fintech and financial services sectors and Broadhaven advises on at least 1-2 $1B+ deals a year. Great culture too--very non-bureaucratic. Comp is slighly above street
Ardea is cracked. Founded by ex-GS chairman, they consistently win marquee deals like TD-Cowen and TPG-Angelo Gordon. They do quarterly bonuses based on a profit share model that even analysts who didn't work on the deal get a piece. Culture is great. Career and pay progression is wonderful. If u are sure you want to be a career banker specifically in FIG, I'd say u should go for Ardea over anything.
