Greenhill vs LionTree vs Allen & Co
Trying to understand the prestige and compensation for these three places. Anyone know where I can look into the deals for Allen & Co? Which one of these would be most like an EB? Is Allen & Co on par with Q?

I can comment on Allen and Q. Allen & Co has a large variance in terms of deal size, sometimes they’ll work on a 200mil cap raise and then they’ll also do MSFT / ATVI. This is because wach MD sort of has their own P&L and executes whatever deals they want. Qatalyst rarely does transactions under the 1 billion mark unless it’s in an up and coming sector; their average transaction size last year was close to $6bn which is higher than any other bank on the street. Comp is also way above street and other EBs at all levels, but the analysts get worked pretty hard
Thanks for the input! Could you expand more on what you mean by the wach MD P&L? From an outsiders perspective, yes I agree Q had an amazing year. But just take a peak over at the past deals Allen and Co has worked on. I don't think Q ever advised on a deal over $100 billion before. Allen & co has advised on two $100 billion+ deals. Also, how would you compare the comp at Allen & co?
I don’t really have concrete info on comp for Allen but I heard from a primary source that comp at Qatalyst is going to be close to 300 and 400 for An1 and An2 respectively. As for the 100+ deal size, I would guess that’s more of a factor relating to the industry that they cover (pure tech) vs m&c at Allen.
And sorry typo, meant *each MD, not wach
