London only please - would be good to compare in terms of deal flow, exit opps, culture, and pay.
Word on the street is that apparently William Blair has the highest overall comp across the board, keen to understand the other US firms as well.

Hey Goldman monkey, sorry about the delay, but are any of these useful:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
1-WB
2-RJ
3- Stifel and Stephens
2nd this
Also pretty sure RJ pay the most.
WB has better exit ops imo
I'd say RayJay in London is better than WB.
WB pays better in good years but you suffer in bad years.
Stifel and Stephens have no flow. Pretty dead. Avoid if you can.
RJ Tech or any other teams that are decent?
