Based on the most helpful WSO content, your ranking aligns with a mix of industry prestige, M&A/RX experience, and compensation. However, there are some nuances worth noting:
This ranking reflects a blend of prestige, M&A/RX expertise, and compensation, excluding exit opportunities.

No one would take RJ/DC advisory over Wells Fargo. Also, why are we ignoring UBS/DB/RBC/Mizuho/TD? All of them are much more better than DC advisory.
Congrats on AEC advisors and EFIG btw.
Who tf is DC Advisory or EFIG LOL
Congrats on UBS loser
Exactly. Been in the industry for 6 years and this is the first time I hear about AEC Advisors and EFIG.
Congrats on ubs!
Switch GS and CVP, Dyal and Lazard, change order of small boutiques to Dyal > M. Klein > Ardea > Allen > Tidal > LionTree
congrats on laz!
Congrats on Ducera!
Do it with groups...there are specific groups in the 20s that ppl would take over something like GS financing
Brother. Have not heard about some of these banks + you're missing some huge ones.
congeats on Dyal
The only reason banks like Dyal Tidal AECA and M Klein are there is the absurd comp lol
The exits are trash compared to the rest I assume
Tidal has ridiculous exits…
No one is taking Tidal over BofA, Citi, Barc lmao nice try
Why not much higher comp small team boutique feel if you are interested in tech advisory I think it still makes perfect sense.
Congrats on barc lmao
Congrats on Dyal holy shit. Nobody is taking them over MS JPM and EBs.
Also congrats on your roomate landing Tidal wtf.
Also, finally, congrats on your older brother working at any one of M Klein / AECA / Ardea. They pay a lot but nobody really knows them my guy.
YOU SUCK.
Dyal is nowhere near that high……..
Ardea partners is also fucking trash
“College sophomores please ignore”
*proceeds to drop a tier list created by a collection of college sophomore posts on wso*
Anyone complaining about Dyal Tidal AECA and Klein has no idea how much they make lmao
So obvious you work at Dyal lmao.
What does prestige mean if not exists lmao. Just literally how hard the median Wharton sophomore (18+) cock gets when they see the logo? On the mohs scale
