From a boutique (GHL, HL, Roths, etc) is Jefferies worth it?
Assume going to a top 3 group at JEF, but a bit skeptical given some facts about the firm. I’m keeping the assumption that culture will be worse and comp will be lower (given recent years), but deal size and closing rate will be much higher, especially with Jefferies growing so fast.

Comp is lower, how so?
Think op is referring to Jefferies recent track record of paying low end to below street avg on bonuses. Look at bonus threads - numbers are bad.
Yes, this exactly
Is this US or UK?
US - NYC
From the boutiques you mentioned, if you're at a rothschild type firm, wouldn't leave. If the other 2, would leave.
