I've heard some sketchy things about this firm. I get that Setter is kinda different than Tobin in that they're more PE secondaries advisory rather than straight M&A like Tobin, and they actually (gasp) pay their analysts, but they have many of the same issues (highly toxic leadership, bad reputation on the street, high turnover, low comp, fake glowing reviews on glassdoor). I also heard their "analysts" are basically telemarketers who operate boiler room-style. So would it be appropriate to call them Canada's equivalent of Tobin & Co?

Don't really think so - not saying Setter isn't trash but it's a boiler room since their entire business is sales driven. So no one is going in expecting to make CIMs or do a DCF. There are some Tobin equivalents in the LMM IB space in Toronto that I won't name, but are a better comparison.
Please name so I know what to avoid.
Also curious about this lmao
I don't particularly like naming names but my advice is to look up the principals/partners' background. If they're from anything but top consulting / big 6 IB / global IB, they're probably not going to give you the mentorship / level of intellectual rigor you are looking for.
Firepower Capital is an obvious one
What's wrong with them?
Weird how you can’t find anything about the founders either
