Guarantee you every major Wall Street franchise, save a few EBs, gets named in this thread eventually.
Side Bet: Nobody makes the connection that they may just be bottom bucket.
Haha you might be right. I was more referring to firms that actually underpay across the board relative to the market by a significant amount. Was thinking this thread would mostly be lists of boutiques. Similar to a "scam firms" thread where some people exposed firms that weren't what they presented themselves to be. A lot of people fall victim to being promised certain comp but then never get it in writing so it never ends up materializing. Heard of a friend who was verbally promised a bonus of a certain amount when she signed on but that bonus never materialized and she had no grounds to stand on because it wasn't in writing.
