Blair, Arma, HL all compete on the same deals for tech (source: my interviewer at Blair). All have good deal flow but definitely a fair bit of pitching.
Torch is probably just below the above in terms of deal size but has very good deal flow with a solid rep in the £100-500m EV space.
Baird tech isn’t renowned whatsoever particularly in London.
Not too sure about GP Bullhound but probably more of a LMM shop - my guess is they’re a competitor to Torch but fall short slightly on reputation + deal flow.
Blair has the best base salary (but with atrocious bonuses in recent years due to firm-wide struggles). Comp is similar across the board for the others - £60-65k for An1 (but not sure if this applies to GP).
How does jeff compare to these?
Not sure about how much pitching/live deal work, but Jeff is generally UMM across the board, maybe comparable to Arma and Blair
Arma is paying 85k base for AN1
wtf??? really?
Arma is strong in the UMM space. Raymond James and Blair Tech are very strong teams in Tech MM banking with good deal flow. Torch from their website seems to be focused on Growth Equity, GP more LMM
GP Bullhound in London focus on LMM, with their Paris and U.S. offices playing higher (multiple 1bn+ deals done in the past 5 years). Definitely competes with Torch in London, but both play lower than the others
Any info on visa sponsorship for Torch or GP Bullhound?
GP Bullhound sponsors in the U.S. - no clue about European
any info on GP base/comp?
slightly below street for US/Europe, but much better WLB
Is there a process for GP? Currently at Big4 M&A (not London) and applied to their LinkedIn opening but haven't heard back.
.
Q has an office in LDN
they are definitely not MM
