Is Dyal & Co legit?
I see super high comp numbers here but barely any deals done…
Is it just a whale hunting platform?

no it's a figment of your imagination
Definitely overhyped here on wso. Pay is decent, but you get absolutely sweated. Seems they have been on a few cool deals but don't do a ton generally. All in all decent shopped but doesn't deserve the praise they get
decent is an understatement for one of the highest comps on the street lol
Hasn’t been a single year since founding where they weren’t on a mega deal. For a team that small and that low profile (who actually knows anyone there lmao) imo the prestige is earned
You’ll get paid well but only see the sun a couple times per year

I find this whole "top-of-street-comp-in-exchange-for-regular-3-am-nights" model of boutique banking tacky at best and kinda nauseous at worst. They rarely make a dent in league tables, don't have the exits to match the experience, aren't really thought leaders in their space, have no lay prestige, have limited industry prestige, and rarely have the flashy tombstones (per capita) to make it worth it.
"Thought leaders" in investment banking hahaha
I'd call my local plumbers union for thought leadership before anyone's M&A banker is asked.
You can laugh all you want but if you think Eric Tokat and Sam Britton (and Frank Quattrone and Aryeh Bourkoff, etc.) aren't legitimately among the more respected minds in their industries, you're smoking something. Not every MD is some Deutsche Bank pitch hustler
