London - Stifel vs Raymond James vs Stephens vs WB?

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.

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.
