Harris Williams - higher pay, better deal flow, substantially higher pitch win rate, better established and highly-regarded across the PE ecosystem.
Note: I'm not at HW but at another top MM that's a competitor.
HW
HW - absolute no-brainer.
Idk what it’s like at Truist but I would say it’s not a no brainer like everyone says (I work at HW). If you want better pay and/or guaranteed exit to MM pe, go to HW. If you wanna stay in banking I’d say it’s definitely a more nuanced decision.
1) where you live should absolutely be a criteria. You will be miserable if you do this job long term in a city you don’t like.
2) diligence the groups and WLB at Truist. Sure you will get paid less, but if you burn out in 2-3 years at HW what’s the point. I promise HW will work you to the bone.
What is the range of bonuses expected for A1 at HW? Just curious to better compare the comp.
Will tell you in a few weeks when bonuses come out. No one knows what bonuses are expected. Anyone who says they do is guessing
did harris williams application open yet? can't find it anywhere
Stay away from Truist...

What’s better truist or Wells Fargo
Wells
Isn’t the majority of Harris Williams in Richmond, VA or am I wrong about this?
You are correct
Seems like if they pay street and you're living in Richmond, you're living like a king though
Yes. Offices in Boston, Richmond, sf, and Minneapolis. Same experience throughout. Sweaty
What defines sweaty in terms of hours?
This isn't even a choice. HW and it's not close. Truist going through all sorts of turnover and turmoil post-merger.
Only con about HW is Richmond Virginia. Never been there and I’m sure it’s changed a lot in the past 150 years, but seems like super boring little town.
Charlottes not horrible.
HW at a boston stop or something would be nice
